1-1/4 inch X 1 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Reducing Elbow Female x Female

1-1/4 inch x 1 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Reducing Elbow – Threaded FIP Connections for Pressure and Drainage Systems

The 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Reducing Elbow is designed for joining pipe segments at a 90-degree turn while transitioning between different nominal pipe sizes. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized malleable iron, this fitting provides strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy essential for pressure-rated mechanical systems and water distribution lines.

This elbow conforms to ANSI/ASME B16.3 and ASTM A197 standards and features female iron pipe (FIP) threaded ends, making it compatible with a wide range of steel, brass, and galvanized pipe configurations. Its heavy-duty construction and precise threading allow for reliable performance under high-stress conditions, including potable water, air, steam, and non-corrosive industrial fluids.

Product Specifications

• Size: 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch
• Material: Galvanized Malleable Iron
• Connection Type: Female National Pipe Thread (NPT)
• Standards: ANSI B16.3, ASTM A197, ASTM A153 (zinc coating)
• Max Working Pressure: 150 PSI for water, oil, and gas (WOG)

Key Features

• Galvanized Coating: Hot-dip zinc coating protects against internal and external corrosion in damp or exposed environments.
• Reinforced Casting: Uniform wall thickness ensures durability under mechanical stress and pressure fluctuations.
• Thread Integrity: NPT threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1, offering leak-tight connections when installed with appropriate thread sealants.
• Space Efficiency: Reducing elbow design provides flow redirection while accommodating a pipe size change, minimizing layout footprint.

Installation Considerations

For optimal performance, apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads during assembly. Torque should be applied using suitable tools to avoid over-tightening, which may damage threads or fittings. Ensure system pressure does not exceed rated thresholds and always verify compatibility with other pipe materials in mixed-metal systems to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Common Applications

This reducing elbow is commonly used in branch transitions within water supply lines, compressed air systems, or non-potable fluid conveyance in both residential and commercial infrastructure. Suitable for both above-ground and partially buried applications where corrosion resistance and pressure retention are required.

Material Note

Malleable iron fittings offer superior impact resistance compared to cast iron and are commonly specified where mechanical strength, dimensional consistency, and galvanic protection are priorities. Zinc-coated finishes extend lifespan in environments where humidity or water exposure is anticipated.

Engineered for dependable performance, the 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Reducing Elbow delivers critical functionality in complex piping layouts. A go-to component in professional plumbing and mechanical systems, it ensures structural stability, ease of integration, and compliance with industry code standards.
