Black Iron 45-Degree Elbow Fitting with Female NPT Threads

Description

When you’re working on hydraulic lines or air systems in tight spaces, sometimes you need just a gentle turn rather than a sharp 90-degree angle. This 1/4-inch black iron 45-degree elbow gives you that perfect intermediate angle to route your pipes around obstacles without the stress that comes from forcing a sharper turn. Whether you’re plumbing a shop compressor or connecting hydraulic fittings on your tractor, this elbow lets the pipe flow naturally where it needs to go.

What You’re Getting

• Female NPT threads on both ends for connecting to male-threaded pipes or fittings
• 45-degree angle that’s perfect for gradual direction changes in tight spots
• Compact size that fits in spaces where larger fittings won’t work
• Black iron construction that won’t crack under pressure like plastic fittings can

Built for Real Farm Work

This fitting works great in hydraulic systems on tractors and implements, air lines in your shop, and anywhere you need to make a gradual turn with 1/4-inch pipe. The smaller size makes it handy for gauge lines, pilot controls, and other low-volume applications where you don’t have room for bigger fittings.

Made to Last

Black iron fittings are the workhorse of farm plumbing because they don’t crack under pressure like plastic can. The material handles temperature swings from winter shop work to hot summer field repairs, and the threads stay tight even after multiple removals.

Installation Notes

Use a little pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape for the best seal, especially on hydraulic applications. Hand-tighten the fitting, then give it about a quarter turn with a wrench—that’s usually all you need for a good seal without overdoing it and cracking the threads.
