1-1/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

1-1/4” Galvanized Malleable Iron 90° Elbow – Threaded Fitting for Directional Pipe Change

The 1-1/4” galvanized malleable iron 90-degree elbow is designed to change the direction of flow in threaded pipe systems by 90 degrees. Manufactured to comply with ASME B16.3 and ASTM A197 standards, this fitting supports dependable mechanical connections in water, air, and gas distribution systems where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are required.

Hot-dip galvanized for enhanced protection, this elbow is commonly used in systems where moisture, abrasion, or moderate chemical exposure may occur. Threaded ends are cut to NPT standards, providing tight, secure joints when properly sealed and torqued to spec.

Product Features

• ✅ Material: Malleable iron conforming to ASTM A197
• ✅ Finish: Hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A153 for corrosion protection
• ✅ Thread Type: NPT (National Pipe Thread) – female x female
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Suitable for use in systems rated up to 150 PSI (non-shock) for water, oil, or gas
• ✅ Design Standard: ASME B16.3 for malleable iron threaded fittings

Functional Use

• ✅ Directional Change: Used to make a 90° turn in rigid piping layouts
• ✅ Thread Integrity: Precision-machined threads ensure consistent mating and leak resistance when sealed with PTFE tape or thread compound
• ✅ Versatile Application: Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations in potable water, fire protection, compressed air, and fuel gas systems

Typical Installation

This elbow is used where a rigid 90° redirection is needed, such as in wall penetrations, equipment connections, or compact utility layouts. It is commonly installed in residential plumbing lines, mechanical rooms, and commercial service networks. Always ensure torque values and sealants comply with code and manufacturer guidelines.

Material Notes

Galvanized malleable iron offers improved resistance to rust and corrosion over standard black iron, especially in humid or exposed environments. The zinc coating extends service life in low-to-moderate pressure systems not subject to aggressive chemicals or high temperatures.

The 1-1/4” galvanized 90-degree elbow is a standard component in threaded piping systems requiring long-term reliability and compliance with plumbing and mechanical code. It delivers consistent results in field installations where performance and durability are critical.
