8700128450 — 45° Street Galvanized Elbow — 0.375 in. A compact, corrosionresistant 45degree street elbow designed for tight directional changes in piping runs. The 8700128450 combines a spacesaving street configuration with a galvanized finish for improved durability in generalpurpose plumbing and mechanical applications. Key benefits Saves space and reduces parts: street elbow design allows direct connection to a female fitting or coupling without an extra short nipple or adapter. Corrosion resistance: galvanized finish protects the fitting from rust and extends service life in damp or exposed environments. Precise directional change: 45degree angle provides a controlled, lowprofile turn that minimizes pressure loss and reduces stress on piping runs compared with sharper bends. Key attributes Model: 8700128450 Angle: 45 degrees for smooth directional change Type: Street elbow (one end male, one end female for direct connections) Size: 0.375 in (3/8 in.) Material/finish: Galvanized for enhanced rust resistance and durability Functionality: Connects two pipe segments or a pipe to a fitting while changing direction Compatibility and performance Intended for use with 0.375 in (3/8 in.) nominal pipe and compatible fittings. Street configuration is ideal when space is limited or when eliminating an additional coupling simplifies installation. Galvanized finish helps resist surface corrosion in generalpurpose plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, irrigation, and similar systems. Common use cases Residential or commercial plumbing runs where a lowprofile 45° turn is needed to route lines around framing or obstacles. HVAC condensate or auxiliary lines that require corrosionresistant fittings and compact directional changes. Irrigation and sprinkler systems or light mechanical piping where a direct pipetofitting connection saves space and assembly time. Installation notes Confirm thread type and compatibility with existing fittings before assembly. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape where required by application and local code. Tighten to manufacturerrecommended torque; avoid excessive force that can deform threads or damage the galvanized finish. A straightforward, durable 45degree street elbow (model 8700128450) that simplifies connections and improves longevity in smalldiameter piping applications.
