Galvanized Malleable Iron 90 Degree Elbow Pack

Galvanized Malleable Iron 90 Degree Elbow Pack

Product Overview

The Galvanized Malleable Iron 90 Degree Elbow Pack is a specialized bulk inventory solution designed for contractors and distributors requiring high-volume quantities of standard directional fittings. This pack consists exclusively of 90-degree elbows manufactured from high-strength malleable iron and finished with a heavy-duty hot-dip galvanized coating. Engineered for durability and ease of installation, these elbows are the standard choice for making right-angle turns in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping systems, ensuring a secure, leak-tight connection with threaded pipe.

Key Features and Benefits

• Bulk Efficiency: Sold in convenient case packs or bulk quantities, reducing per-unit costs and ensuring you have sufficient stock for large-scale projects.

• Corrosion Resistance: The hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating provides a thick, uniform layer of zinc protection, significantly extending the fitting's lifespan in wet or outdoor environments.

• High Impact Strength: Malleable iron construction offers superior ductility and impact resistance compared to brittle cast iron, reducing breakage during tightening or transport.

• Precision Threading: Tapered threads (NPT or BSP) are cut to strict tolerances, ensuring a quick, leak-tight seal with minimal effort.

• Versatile Design: Suitable for a wide range of pressures (Class 150 and Class 300) and media, including water, gas, steam, and air.

Pack Configurations

The Galvanized Malleable Iron 90 Degree Elbow Pack is typically organized by size to facilitate easy inventory management:

• Small Sizes (1/8" - 1/2"): Usually packed in larger quantities (e.g., 50-100 pieces per carton) due to their high usage in branch lines and fixture connections.

• Medium Sizes (3/4" - 1-1/2"): Packed in moderate quantities (e.g., 25-50 pieces per carton) for main distribution lines.

• Large Sizes (2" - 4"): Packed in smaller quantities (e.g., 10-20 pieces per carton) as these are used for main headers and industrial risers.

Note: Specific quantities per pack may vary by manufacturer and distributor.

Applications

This elbow pack is essential for a variety of infrastructure projects:

• Plumbing Systems: Connecting water supply lines in walls and ceilings where 90-degree turns are required.

• Gas Distribution: Routing natural gas or propane lines in residential and commercial buildings.

• Fire Sprinklers: Branch line connections in wet and dry pipe sprinkler systems.

• Industrial Piping: Routing compressed air, steam, or process fluids in manufacturing plants.

• Structural Projects: Used in handrails and fencing for angled joints.

Quality Assurance

We ensure that every elbow in the pack meets rigorous international standards. Our manufacturing process includes chemical analysis, mechanical testing, and hydrostatic pressure testing. The hot-dip galvanization is inspected for thickness and adhesion to ensure maximum corrosion protection. We provide full certification, including Mill Test Certificates (MTC) and compliance statements for ASTM/ISO standards, guaranteeing that every fitting performs reliably under pressure.
