Description

Overview

The 1/2 NPT 45 degree street elbow redirects a pneumatic connection through a 45-degree angle while retaining the same nominal thread size. Its male-to-female configuration connects directly between two components without requiring a separate nipple, making it useful where a straight fitting or 90-degree elbow would create poor hose alignment or insufficient clearance.

Features

• 1/2 NPT male thread and 1/2 NPT female port
• 45-degree street elbow configuration
• Brass body with an open internal air passage
• Solid wrenching flats for controlled installation

Specifications and Materials

This fitting uses a 1/2 NPT male connection at one end and a 1/2 NPT female connection at the other. The brass body changes the connection direction by 45 degrees while keeping both ports at the same nominal size. Part number: 02N2545-08.

Compatibility and Fitment

Confirm that the component requires a 1/2 NPT male-to-female street elbow and that the 45-degree outlet direction provides the required hose or component clearance. Check both mating threads carefully, as BSP, metric and straight pipe threads can appear similar but are not interchangeable with NPT. Allow enough space around the solid body for a suitable spanner during installation.

Compliance and Safety

Depressurise the air system before removing or installing the elbow. Inspect the mating threads for damage and remove old sealant or contamination. Apply a suitable pneumatic thread sealant to the male thread without allowing excess material to enter the air passage. Tighten through the wrenching flats rather than gripping the threaded section, then restore pressure and check both connections for leaks.

Trailer Applications

Truck and trailer workshops use this fitting to redirect connections at air valves, manifolds, reservoirs and other compatible pneumatic components. The 45-degree layout can improve hose routing where a straight connection creates a sharp bend or a 90-degree elbow moves the line too far from the adjoining component.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

ICS Trailers supplies brass pneumatic fittings for truck, trailer and workshop air system repairs. When replacing an unidentified elbow, compare the male and female port arrangement, thread size, thread form and outlet angle. Photos of the old fitting and outside thread measurements can help distinguish this part from similar BSP, metric and 90-degree elbows.
