Description
When you're plumbing hydraulic systems, compressed air lines, or fuel systems on your equipment and need to route things around tight corners, this 45-degree street elbow is exactly what you need. Black iron fittings are the workhorse of farm plumbing because they don't crack under pressure like plastic can. The compact design gives you the perfect angle without taking up extra space in cramped engine compartments or implement frames.
What You're Getting
- Durable black iron construction that handles high pressure and temperature swings
- MNPT x FNPT threads make connection straightforward - no hunting for adapters
- 45-degree angle lets you navigate around obstacles while maintaining proper flow
- Compact street elbow design saves space compared to regular elbows with couplings
Built for Real Farm Work
This fitting works great for hydraulic systems on loaders and implements, compressed air lines in your shop, and fuel or oil lines on tractors and equipment. The small 1/8-inch size is perfect for instrumentation lines, gauge connections, and anywhere you need a tight-radius turn without restricting flow. Whether you're plumbing a hydraulic pressure gauge or routing fuel lines around an engine block, this elbow handles the job.
Made to Last
The material handles temperature swings from winter shop work to hot summer field repairs, and the threads stay tight even after years of vibration and thermal cycling. Black iron won't corrode like some materials and maintains its structural integrity under the pressure and shock loads common in agricultural applications.
Installation Notes
Thread the male end into your female port first, then thread the female end onto your next fitting - this sequence prevents binding. Use pipe thread sealant or quality thread tape for leak-free connections. Don't overtighten; the tapered threads seal properly with hand-tight plus a turn or two with a wrench.
