2 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

2" Galvanized Iron 90° Elbow – Threaded Fitting for Directional Flow Transitions

The 2" galvanized iron 90-degree elbow is a threaded malleable iron fitting designed to redirect flow within pressure-rated piping systems. Commonly used in water distribution, air systems, and non-corrosive liquid transport, this elbow allows for a 90° directional change while maintaining system integrity and code compliance.

Its galvanized zinc coating provides protection against corrosion, extending service life in both indoor and outdoor environments. Manufactured to meet applicable ANSI and ASTM standards, this fitting offers uniform wall thickness, precision threading, and compatibility with standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 pipe.

Key Performance Attributes

• ✅ Cast Malleable Iron Body Provides high tensile strength and dimensional stability under load.
• ✅ Threaded NPT Ends Standard taper threads ensure proper engagement and seal compatibility with thread sealants.
• ✅ Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish Zinc coating enhances corrosion resistance in water and atmospheric conditions.
• ✅ 90° Elbow Geometry Enables compact directional transitions around structural elements or within confined spaces.
• ✅ Nominal Size Matching Fits 2" nominal diameter iron pipe thread (IPT) per industry norms.

Specifications

• Nominal Size: 2 inches
• Connection Type: Female National Pipe Thread (NPT) x Female NPT
• Material: Malleable Iron
• Finish: Hot-dip Galvanized Zinc Coating
• Compliance: Meets ASTM A197, ANSI B16.3, and UL/FM standards where applicable

Installation Guidelines

Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male pipe threads prior to engagement. Avoid over-torquing to prevent cracking. Installations must conform to local and national mechanical and plumbing codes. Use of a pipe wrench with appropriate jaw surface is recommended to prevent damage to the fitting during tightening.

Common Applications

This 90-degree elbow is used to navigate changes in direction in threaded pipe networks. Typical applications include hydronic heating systems, compressed air lines, process water distribution, and drainage systems where galvanized components are specified.

Material Note

Malleable iron fittings with galvanized coatings are preferred for durability in non-potable water and air systems, where abrasion, temperature variation, and environmental exposure are factors. The elbow’s threaded ends support easy disassembly for system maintenance or modification.

The 2" galvanized iron 90-degree elbow provides structural reliability and corrosion resistance in demanding piping configurations, making it a standard fitting for mechanical and plumbing professionals working across a range of commercial and industrial environments.
