Value Brand 1-1/2" Malleable Iron 90 Degree Street Elbow

1-1/2 Inch Malleable Iron Street Elbow

This 90-degree street elbow connects a female NPT thread to a male NPT thread in a 1-1/2 inch pipe size. It is made from malleable iron rated to Class 300 and meets ASME B16.3 and B16.4 standards. The fitting carries FM Approved and UL Listed markings for code compliance. It suits new plumbing installations needing a directional change.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

The fitting handles a maximum pressure of 1500 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and a saturated steam pressure of 300 psi. Its operating temperature range spans from -20 to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. These ratings define the practical limits for water, oil, air and steam service. Exceeding them risks joint failure or leakage.

Thread and Material Compatibility

Verify that the existing piping uses NPT threads and that the 1-1/2 inch size matches the line. Malleable iron should not be joined directly to dissimilar metals without dielectric protection to avoid galvanic corrosion. Confirm the system pressure and temperature stay within the listed ratings. This fitting is not for applications requiring a different thread standard or pressure class.
