This Dixon SE series 90 degree elbow is used for changing flow direction. It has male and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting female threaded pipe to male threaded pipe. It is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. The street elbow design allows direct pipe connection without the need for a pipe nipple. This fitting is suitable for use in air, water, oil, and natural gas applications.
