This Anderson Metals 38116 90 degree street elbow is a red brass pipe fitting with 1-1/2" male and female threaded connections. The 90-degree street elbow fitting, or "street ell," connects two pipes, one with a male end and the other with a female end, at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. It has male threads on one end and female threads on the other for connecting to a female and a male threaded pipe or fitting. This fitting is made from red brass for high strength, better corrosion resistance than stainless steel, and greater ease in machining than yellow brass.
Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
Anderson Metals manufactures brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. The company, founded in 1951, is headquartered in Kansas City, MO.
