Elbow 45° F/F Galvanized Malleable Iron

The 45° Female‑Female (FF) elbow in hot-dip galvanized malleable cast iron is a key fitting for making a 45‑degree change of direction in plumbing installations or industrial‑style builds.

What is this 45° elbow used for?

It connects two components with male threads to form a 45° angle. This gentler turn than a 90° elbow is commonly used to:

• Bypass an obstacle progressively, reducing pressure loss in a fluid circuit.
• Accurately re‑route a pipe run.
• Achieve a specific visual effect in exposed plumbing, structures, or furniture (shelves, lights, etc.).

Technical Features (EN 10242 Compliance)

This plumbing fitting is manufactured to EN 10242, ensuring a high level of quality and safety.

• High‑Quality Material: Malleable cast iron (EN‑GJMW‑400‑5), known for high mechanical strength under pressure and impact.
• Anti‑Corrosion Protection: Hot‑dip galvanized finish (approx. 70 µm) for long life and an industrial raw look.
• Standard Female Threads (BSP): Both female threads are parallel (Rp) to ISO 7‑1. They mate with male taper threads (R), where sealing occurs on the threads using a suitable sealant (hemp, PTFE tape, anaerobic resin).

Installation Tip

For a perfect seal, always apply sealant to the male threads you screw into the elbow—never inside the elbow’s female threads.
