AGAflex 90° threaded elbow 1 1/2 galvanized

AGAflex 90° threaded elbow 1 1/2 galvanized is a right-angle pipe fitting designed to connect two components with 1 1/2" female or male threaded ends. The elbow is manufactured with a galvanized surface finish to provide enhanced corrosion resistance in plumbing, heating and general pipework environments. It enables a secure threaded joint for creating 90-degree changes of direction while maintaining mechanical strength and sealing capability when used with appropriate thread sealant.

Advantages

The galvanized construction offers protection against rust and corrosive elements, extending service life in water and heating systems. The standardized 1 1/2" threaded connection ensures compatibility with common threaded pipes and fittings, simplifying installation and replacement. The 90° angle provides a compact, reliable method for changing pipe direction without the need for welding or soldering, and the threaded design permits disassembly and reconfiguration of pipe layouts.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial water supply systems
• Heating and radiator pipe connections
• General plumbing and maintenance work
• Temporary or reconfigurable pipe installations

Key specifications

• Angle: 90 degrees
• Connection type: threaded
• Thread size: 1 1/2" nominal
• Material/coating: galvanized steel finish
• Application: water, heating and general pipework

How to use

Ensure mating threads are clean and undamaged before assembly. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, tape or compound compatible with the system fluid and operating temperatures to the male threads. Hand-start the elbow onto the mating thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with appropriate tools until a secure, leak-resistant joint is achieved without over-torquing. Verify alignment at 90° and test the assembly under pressure according to applicable installation standards.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use compatible threaded fittings and follow local plumbing codes. In systems carrying potable water, select thread sealants approved for drinking water. Regularly inspect threaded galvanized joints for signs of corrosion or loosening, particularly in exposed or high-humidity environments.
