Description
Overview:
The Malleable Iron Elbow Male - Female 3" BSP is a heavy‐duty pipe fitting for changing the direction of flow in threaded pipework. Made from tough malleable iron, it is designed to handle everyday knocks and vibration while maintaining a reliable seal when installed correctly. With a male BSP thread on one end and a female BSP thread on the other, it links directly into existing pipe runs without extra couplers. The 3 inch (76.2 mm) BSP size matches common British Standard Pipe systems used on site equipment, pumps, water distribution, heating circuits, and general industrial services. This elbow is a practical choice for tradespeople and maintenance teams who need a straightforward way to route water, air, or other compatible fluids around tight spaces and corners.
Key Features:
- Malleable iron construction for high strength and good impact resistance
- Male to female BSP threads simplify installation and reduce the number of fittings needed
- 3" (76.2 mm) BSP size integrates with standard BSP pipework and valves
- Clean, accurately cut threads for dependable sealing with suitable tape or pipe sealant
- Robust casting helps maintain alignment under load and vibration
- Commonly used as a 90° change of direction to keep pipe runs compact
- Suitable for hot and cold water, compressed air, and many non‐corrosive fluids (check media compatibility)
- Helps avoid sharp hose bends by providing a rigid, secure change in direction
- Useful where space is limited, thanks to the male-female "street" configuration
- Simple to install with standard hand tools
Typical Applications:
Used in plumbing and industrial pipe systems to divert flow around obstacles or equipment. Common on site pumps and dewatering setups, water bowsers, irrigation lines, washdown lines, compressed air distribution, and plant room pipework. Suitable for maintenance, repairs, and new installations where a strong, threaded elbow is required for 3" (76.2 mm) BSP systems.
