3" 90° 150 lb Galvanized Malleable Iron Pipe Elbow (466606)

The 3" 90° 150 lb Galvanized Malleable Iron Pipe Elbow is a crucial component in various plumbing and industrial piping systems. Originally designed to provide a smooth and durable method of directing pipe flow at right angles, this fitting is widely used in both residential and commercial applications. Galvanization, the process of coating iron or steel with zinc, enhances the longevity and corrosion resistance of the elbow, making it suitable for harsh environments. The 150 lb rating indicates the pressure capacity it can handle, making it suitable for high-pressure applications, ensuring safety and efficiency in operation. This product is commonly found in industries such as water supply, heating, gas distribution, and ventilation systems. Its robust construction allows it to withstand heavy-duty usage while maintaining integrity over time. Unique features include its ability to be easily welded or threaded onto existing pipe systems, offering versatility in installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the malleable iron construction provides strength and a level of flexibility, reducing the risk of breakage under stress compared to more brittle materials.
