Product introduction
 Internal Thread 45-Degree Elbow – Technical Specification  
1. Definition & Purpose  
An Internal Thread 45-Degree Elbow is a pipe fitting designed to change flow direction by 45° using female (internal) threads on both ends. It enables smooth directional changes in low-to-medium pressure systems where welding is impractical or disassembly is required.  
2. Key Features  
- 45° Angle: Reduces pressure drop compared to 90° elbows.  
- Internal (Female) Threads: Conforms to NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) standards.  
- Materials:  
 - Carbon Steel: ASTM A105 (general service)  
 - Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/316 (corrosion resistance)  
 - Brass/Bronze: For water & low-pressure gas  
 - PVC/CPVC: Chemical & drainage applications  
- Pressure Rating: Typically Class 150 to 3000 (varies by material).  
3. Types & Variations  
| Type | Description | Common Use |  
|------|-------------|------------|  
| Standard 45° Elbow | Equal female threads on both ends | General plumbing, HVAC |  
| Street Elbow | One female & one male thread | Direct pipe-to-pipe connection |  
| Reducing 45° Elbow | Different thread sizes at each end | Pipe diameter transitions |  
4. Applications  
✔ Plumbing: Water supply lines, drainage systems  
✔ HVAC: Refrigerant lines, air handling units  
✔ Industrial: Low-pressure hydraulic/pneumatic systems  
✔ Oil & Gas: Instrumentation tubing, gauge connections  
5. Advantages vs. Welded Elbows  
✓ Easy Installation: No welding required; screw-on assembly  
✓ Removable/Reusable: Ideal for maintenance or modifications  
✓ Cost-Effective: Lower labor cost than welded alternatives  
✓ Vibration Resistance: Less prone to fatigue cracking than welded joints  
6. Limitations  
✗ Not for High Pressure: Max ~3000 psi (depends on material)  
✗ Thread Wear: Repeated disassembly may degrade threads  
✗ Sealant Required: Teflon tape/dope needed to prevent leaks  
7. Installation Guidelines  
1. Thread Preparation:  
  - Clean threads, apply Teflon tape or pipe thread sealant.  
2. Hand-Tighten First:  
  - Engage threads properly before using a wrench.  
3. Final Torque:  
  - Tighten 1-2 turns past hand-tight (avoid over-torquing).  
4. Alignment Check:  
  - Ensure proper flow direction before pressurizing.  
8. Standards & Compliance  
- ASME B1.20.1: NPT thread dimensions  
- ASME B16.11: Pressure ratings for forged fittings  
- ASTM A105/A182: Material specifications  
- MSS SP-83: Threaded unions & elbows  
Why Choose a Threaded 45° Elbow?  
- Simplified Maintenance: No cutting/welding needed for repairs.  
- Space-Saving: Compact design fits tight spaces.  
- Versatility: Compatible with various pipe materials.  
For high-pressure/temperature systems, consider socket weld or butt-weld elbows instead.  
Need Customization? Options include:  
- Electro-polished stainless steel (for ultra-clean systems)  
- X-ray inspected threads (critical services)  
- PTFE-lined elbows (chemical resistance)
