Female Threaded Elbow

Create dependable 90° or 45° turns in water, irrigation, and process piping with our Female Threaded Elbow, available in corrosion-resistant brass, 316 stainless steel, or UV-stabilized nylon. Featuring standard female NPT (ANSI B1.20.1) threads from ½” to 2” NPS, this elbow ensures a tight, tapered seal when mated with male-threaded fittings—no extra adapters needed. Rated up to 1500 psi (depending on material) and operating from –40 °C to +200 °C, it excels in residential plumbing, HVAC, agricultural irrigation, and chemical processing. The compact body reduces flow disturbance and fits neatly into confined spaces, while the smooth internal bore minimizes pressure drop. Installation is quick and tool-free: wrap tape, hand-tighten, then wrench-finish. Choose this versatile, robust elbow for hassle-free directional changes and reliable leak-proof performance in any piping system.

Ensure leak-proof, corrosion-resistant directional changes in your piping systems with our Female Threaded Elbow, precision-engineered for easy integration into both residential and industrial applications. Manufactured from premium-grade materials—such as brass, stainless steel, or glass-filled nylon—this elbow delivers reliable performance under pressure, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure. Its female NPT (National Pipe Thread) ends provide a secure, tapered thread seal that mates effortlessly with male-threaded pipes, fittings, and valves, eliminating the need for additional adapters or complex assemblies.

Key Benefits & Features

  • Robust, Corrosion-Resistant Materials
    Choose from corrosion-proof brass for potable water and irrigation, 316-grade stainless steel for aggressive chemicals, or UV-stabilized nylon for lightweight, cost-effective fluid handling.

  • Standard Female NPT Threads
    Available in ½”, ¾”, 1”, 1¼”, 1½”, and 2” sizes, the tapered threads deliver an ANSI B1.20.1–compliant seal that tightens under pressure, ensuring zero leaks without excessive torque.

  • Streamlined 90° or 45° Configurations
    Opt for a 90° elbow to navigate sharp turns in tight spaces, or a 45° version to minimize pressure drop and turbulence in process lines.

  • High Pressure & Temperature Ratings
    Rated up to 1500 psi (depending on material and size) and operating temperatures from –40 °C to +200 °C, these elbows excel in HVAC, hydraulic, and steam systems.

  • Chemical & UV Resistance
    The stainless-steel and nylon variants resist acids, alkalis, solvents, and UV degradation—ideal for outdoor irrigation, chemical dosing, and industrial process piping.

  • Quick, Tool-Free Installation
    Simply wrap PTFE tape on male threads, hand-tighten the elbow, and finish with a wrench for a reliable seal. No sealing compounds or special gland fittings required.

  • Compact Design
    Low-profile bodies and smooth internal bores reduce flow resistance, conserve space in cabinets or enclosures, and simplify maintenance.
