Description
When you’re plumbing irrigation lines or connecting tanks and pumps, tight spaces often mean you need a fitting that makes the turn without taking up extra room. This 1-inch 45-degree street elbow does exactly that—one end threads into your pipe or valve while the other end accepts a threaded connection, giving you that angled turn in half the space of a regular elbow and coupling combo.
What You’re Getting
- Compact street design saves space and reduces the number of fittings needed
- 45-degree angle gives you the perfect bend for gradual direction changes
- Male pipe thread on one end, female pipe thread on the other for versatile connections
- Lightweight polypropylene construction won’t rust or corrode like metal fittings
- Chemical-resistant material handles fertilizers and ag chemicals without breaking down
Built for Real Farm Work
This fitting shines in irrigation systems where you need to route lines around obstacles or make connections in tight quarters. It’s perfect for pump installations, tank hookups, and anywhere you’re working with liquid fertilizer or chemical injection systems. The poly construction makes it ideal for outdoor applications where metal fittings would rust out.
Made to Last
Polypropylene stands up to UV exposure, temperature swings, and the chemicals commonly used in agriculture. Unlike metal fittings that can corrode from fertilizers or other ag chemicals, this elbow keeps its threads clean and tight season after season. The material flexes slightly under pressure changes, which actually helps prevent stress cracks.
Good to Know
Use pipe dope or thread sealant on the male threads for a leak-free connection—Teflon tape works fine too. Don’t overtighten these poly fittings; they seal well with moderate pressure and overtightening can crack the threads. If you’re connecting to metal pipe or fittings, thread the poly fitting into the metal rather than the other way around when possible.
