3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Elbow – Threaded Elbow for Steel Piping Systems

The 3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90-Degree Elbow is designed for use in threaded steel piping systems requiring a right-angle change in direction. Manufactured from malleable iron conforming to ASTM A197 and hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A153, this elbow provides mechanical strength and corrosion resistance suitable for a variety of industrial and mechanical applications.

Threaded to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 NPT specifications, this elbow facilitates secure connections in systems carrying non-potable water, air, oil, or steam. Commonly used in above-ground installations, its galvanized coating extends service life in environments prone to moisture or corrosion exposure.

Key Specifications

• Material: Galvanized Malleable Iron
• Nominal Size: 3/4 inch
• Connection Type: Female National Pipe Thread (FPT) x Female National Pipe Thread (FPT)
• Thread Standard: ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Manufacturing Standards: ASME B16.3, ASTM A197, ASTM A153
• Pressure Rating: 300 PSI for non-steam use; 150 PSI for steam systems

Installation Considerations

This fitting is intended for use in Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 steel pipe systems. Threaded joints must be prepared using an appropriate pipe joint compound or PTFE tape. Ensure proper alignment and torque to avoid overstressing the threads. Do not use galvanized fittings in potable water applications unless approved for that use by local code.

Application Scope

Typical applications include air compressor lines, mechanical equipment piping, fire protection (non-potable zones), and general utility plumbing in commercial and industrial settings. The elbow allows for directional changes in tight layouts without compromising system flow or integrity.

Performance Notes

Malleable iron provides superior impact and vibration resistance compared to cast iron, while the galvanized finish adds a protective layer against corrosion, particularly in damp or exposed environments. This combination makes it ideal for indoor mechanical rooms, warehouses, and exposed pipe networks.

Jobsite-Ready Elbow for Durable, Threaded Piping Systems

The 3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90-Degree Elbow offers code-compliant performance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength required in threaded piping systems. Built to industry standards, this fitting supports long-term performance in high-demand installations.
