Banjo SL150-45 Polypropylene Pipe Fitting, 45 Degree Street Elbow, Schedule 80, 1-1/2" NPT Female x NPT Male

This Banjo SL150-45 45-degree street elbow is a schedule 80 polypropylene pipe fitting with 1-1/2" NPT male and 1-1/2" NPT female threaded connections. The 45-degree street elbow fitting, or "street ell," connects two pipes, one with a male end and the other with a female end, at a 45-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. It has male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on one end and female NPT threads on the other for connecting to a female and a male threaded pipe or fitting. The NPT threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is precision molded in polypropylene, which resists most chemicals, has excellent dimensional stability, and is sterilizable. In addition, it is reinforced with fiberglass for added durability, strength, and chemical resistance. The fitting is suitable for handling pressures up to 150 pounds per square inch (psi) at 70 degrees F. This schedule 80 (thick wall) fitting is suitable for higher pressure than a schedule 40 fitting. This fitting is suitable for use in a wide variety of liquid handling applications including, but not limited to, fertilizers, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and water treatment.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Banjo manufactures valves, couplings, pumps, pipe and hose fittings, and other fluid handling products for industrial applications. The company, founded in 1995, is headquartered in Crawfordsville, IN.
