This 45-degree barstock street elbow is a brass pipe fitting with 3/8" male and 3/8" female threaded connections. The 45-degree street elbow fitting, or "street ell," connects two pipes at a 45-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. It has male threads on one end and female threads on the other for connecting to a female and a male threaded pipe or fitting. This fitting is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The 45-degree barstock street elbow has fair vibration resistance and is suitable in low to medium pressure applications.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
