When it comes to tight spaces and quick directional changes in piping systems, the Street Elbow is the unsung hero. Unlike a regular elbow that connects two female-threaded ends, a Street Elbow features one male and one female threaded connection, making it incredibly versatile and compact for installations in restricted or hard-to-reach areas.
With a design that offers a 90-degree or 45-degree directional change, the street elbow is widely used in plumbing, gas lines, HVAC systems, and industrial piping. Its male-to-female configuration means one less coupling is needed, saving both time and material, and that’s a win in any piping project.
Whether it’s connecting water lines under sinks, joining air compressor lines, or integrating fuel lines in engines, the street elbow delivers strength, durability, and leak-free performance, especially when made from robust materials like stainless steel, brass, or galvanized steel.
Product Data
- Male-to-Female Threaded Connection : One end has male threads, and the other has female threads, allowing direct connection without the need for a coupling—ideal for compact installations.
- Available in 90° and 45° Angles : Facilitates directional change in piping systems, commonly in 90-degree and 45-degree configurations.
- Space-Saving Design : Perfect for tight or limited spaces where using two separate fittings is impractical.
- Thread Standards : Available in NPT, BSPT, BSPP, and other custom thread types to suit global piping systems.
- Material Versatility : Manufactured in Stainless Steel (SS 304 / SS 316), Brass, Carbon Steel, Copper, and other materials depending on the application needs.
- High Pressure & Temperature Resistance : Suitable for use in high-pressure systems (up to 6000 PSI) and temperature ranges from −65°F to 800°F (varies by material).
- Corrosion & Rust Resistant : Especially when made from stainless steel or specially coated brass, ideal for aggressive or corrosive environments.
