1/2″ X 3/8″ REDUCER 90 ELBOW

Description

This 1/2″ × 3/8″ Reducer 90° Elbow is a black steel (malleable iron) pipe fitting designed to transition between different pipe sizes while changing direction by 90 degrees. It’s commonly used in fire suppression and actuation systems where a larger pipe run needs to drop to a smaller line or where space constraints require a right-angle turn. The fitting’s threaded ends allow for secure, leak-resistant installation in black pipe configurations.

• Model/SKU: 1/2″ × 3/8″ Reducer 90 Elbow

• Brand: Generic

• Function: Reduces pipe diameter from 1/2″ to 3/8″ while changing flow direction 90°

• Thread Type: NPT (female or female depending on side) — standard for black pipe fittings in suppression plumbing

• Material: Malleable black steel / malleable iron; built for strength and durability in fire system pipe networks

• Standards: Class 150 threaded elbow, fits ASME / ASTM malleable iron fitting specifications

• Why It Matters: Allows the plumbing run to properly adapt from larger to smaller lines (or vice versa) and navigate space constraints, ensuring proper fluid / agent flow without undue stress on fittings or piping
