Galvanized Malleable Iron 45° Elbow

This 1/8 In. galvanized malleable iron elbow provides a 45-degree directional change in piping systems. Each fitting carries the Mueller logo cast into the body and is individually flag tagged. The component meets ANSI/ASTM A-197 material standards and ANSI/ASME B16.3, B16.14 and B16.39 dimensional specifications. Threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and every piece is 100% inspected and quality tested.

Suited for low-pressure pipe connections requiring

Installers needing a galvanized malleable iron elbow for water, gas or air lines in residential or light commercial work will find this fitting matches the required standards. It is not intended for high-pressure hydraulic systems, stainless steel piping networks, or applications demanding welded rather than threaded joints. Buyers who need a different angle, a larger diameter or a non-galvanised finish should select an alternative fitting.

Thread standard ANSI B1.20.1 governs compatibility

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the thread standard ANSI B1.20.1, which defines the taper pipe thread form used on this 1/8 In. fitting. Only components cut to the same ANSI B1.20.1 specification will seal correctly when assembled with this elbow. Verify that the mating pipe or fitting references this exact thread standard before purchase.

Questions about this item

What pipe size and thread standard does the 3440 galvanized elbow require for a proper fit?

The 3440 elbow is sized at 1/8 In. and uses threads conforming to ANSI B 1.20.1, so the connecting pipe must match that nominal size and thread standard.

Will the galvanized finish on this 45 Deg. elbow react with older black iron pipe already in the system?

The fitting is hot-dip galvanized malleable iron per ANSI/ASTM A-197; it can be joined to black iron pipe using standard thread sealant, but dissimilar-metal corrosion is minimal in dry or non-conductive fluid service.

How can I verify the 3440 elbow meets the required pressure-class dimensions after installation?

Each fitting carries a cast Mueller logo and an individual flag tag confirming 100% inspection to ANSI/ASME B16.3, B16.14 and B16.39 dimensional standards.
