182W82 - 1/4 Inch NPT Brass Street Elbow 90 Degree (Pack of 2)

Industrial Grade 1/4" NPT Brass Street Elbows

The 1/4" Brass Street Elbow (90 Degree) is a staple component in industrial Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO). Designed for durability and precision, this fitting allows for efficient routing of pipelines in confined spaces where standard fittings would be too bulky. This product comes as a pack of 2, ensuring you have the necessary stock for immediate repairs or small-scale fabrication tasks.

Technical Superiority and Design

Manufactured from solid brass stock, these fittings offer superior machinability and finish compared to cast alternatives. The threads are cut to strict National Pipe Taper (NPT) standards, ensuring a tight, pressure-resistant seal when used with appropriate thread sealants (such as PTFE tape or pipe dope). The 1/4" size is a standard specification across pneumatic and hydraulic systems, making this street elbow a versatile addition to any maintenance inventory.

The Street Elbow Advantage

The defining feature of a street elbow is its Male NPT x Female NPT connection style. In complex industrial assemblies, space is often at a premium. A standard elbow requires a nipple to connect to another female port, adding length and an extra joint. The street elbow connects directly, effectively acting as both an elbow and a nipple. This is particularly useful in:

• Compressor Assemblies: Routing air lines from the tank to regulators or dryers.
• Gas Manifolds: Connecting valves or gauges at 90-degree angles to the main header.
• Instrumentation: Positioning gauges for better visibility without extending them too far from the process line.

Material Properties

Brass is chosen for its balanced properties of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Unlike carbon steel, it does not rust when exposed to moisture, and it offers better durability than plastic fittings. It is suitable for low-to-medium pressure service in non-corrosive environments and is compatible with water, oil, gas, and compressed air. These fittings are designed to withstand the vibration and thermal cycling common in industrial environments.
