Whirlpool 69029108821 90 Degree Street Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 69029108821 is a 1/4 inch 90 degree street elbow designed for use in pipe and fitting assemblies where a direction change is required within a tight space. A street elbow differs from a standard elbow in that one end is male-threaded and the other is female-threaded, allowing it to thread directly into another fitting without a nipple in between. This configuration simplifies assembly, reduces potential leak points, and keeps the fitting count low. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of elbow in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, and general fluid-handling systems.

This 90 degree street elbow is suited for applications where space is limited and a direct fitting-to-fitting connection is preferred. The 1/4 inch size makes it appropriate for smaller pipe runs, including instrument lines, low-flow supply lines, and control system plumbing. It is commonly used in service and retrofit scenarios where a compact, reliable directional change is needed without adding pipe extensions.

Key Features

• 90 degree turn with street configuration — one male and one female threaded end for direct fitting-to-fitting connection
• 1/4 inch pipe size suits smaller diameter line applications
• Threaded ends allow tool-only installation with no soldering or crimping required
• Compact design reduces overall assembly length compared to standard elbow plus nipple combinations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement street elbow for 1/4 inch threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to male threads per local plumbing code requirements, referencing the IPC or applicable local code. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack the fitting body or damage mating threads.
