Pro Flow Dynamics EL050-304 1/2" Female NPT 90 Degree Elbow Pipe Fitting, Stainless Steel 304

A Threaded Elbow is a pipe fitting in the shape of a 90 degree angle with female threads on either end. It differs from a Street Elbow only in that it has female thread x female thread.

Threaded 90° elbow fittings are widely used in plumbing and in piping systems, most often used to facilitate a 90 degree change in the flow direction. These threaded fittings are essentially a 90 degree curved pipe with female (external) threads on either end. This enables it to connect to pipes or male threaded fittings at a 90 degree right angle. The gentle corner of this 90 Elbow allows for a smooth transition when connecting pipes at right angles. This leads to less friction and reduces the pressure drop. The Stainless Steel 90 degree elbow has internal threads on either end, which allows for an easy installation simply by screwing them onto the corresponding male-threaded pipes or fittings. Often refereed to as a pumping elbows their NPT tapered thread ensures a secure and water-proof connection, making them ideal for a wide variety of applications including residential, commercial and industrial plumbing applications. This stainless steel elbow fitting is manufactured out of stainless steel ensuring corrosion resistance as well as longevity in a variety of environments.

Uses:

• A pipe elbow is a fitting used to add a 90 degree angle to an application.
• They are used to connect male threaded fittings or pipes at an angle.
• 90 degree elbows are often used to connect two pipes at right angles.
• This allows them to change the flow direction or angle of a pipe system.

Advantages: Since it has female threads it is well suited to connect two male threaded fittings or pipes while saving space.

Installation: Thread the female NPT threads onto a male NPT thread.

Size Classification: A threaded elbow 90 is classified according to the size of the pipe thread they will connect to.
