Description
Overview:
This malleable iron elbow is a 90-degree pipe fitting with a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, sized at 3/8" (9.5 mm) BSP. Made from durable black malleable iron, it provides a strong, dependable connection for threaded pipework. It is used to change flow direction while keeping a compact footprint, making it useful in confined spaces. Suitable for plumbing, industrial piping, and site services on construction and garden machinery setups, such as compressors, pumps, pressure washers, and workshop air or water lines. The fitting is threaded for quick assembly and can be welded where required. Reference: MPN 686 038.
Key Features:
- Robust black malleable iron body for long service life in demanding environments

- Precise threading for a reliable seal when used with PTFE tape or suitable pipe sealant
- Compact "street" pattern saves space compared to two separate fittings
- Simple to install with common hand tools; no special tooling required
- Weldable to support specific installation or fabrication needs
- Corrosion-resistant black finish for general-purpose water, air, and non-aggressive media
- Suitable for maintenance, repair, and new installations in plant, workshop, and site services
- Clear identification for reordering: MPN 686 038
Typical Applications:
Used to create a right-angle turn in threaded pipework for air, water, and non-aggressive fluids. Common in workshop airlines, site standpipes, washdown rigs, coolant return lines, and general plumbing on construction equipment setups and fixed installations. Ideal where a compact male-to-female 90-degree connection is needed without adding extra couplers.
