Galvanized Street Elbows
A galvanized street elbow is a 90° zinc-coated malleable cast iron elbow with one female-threaded end and one male-threaded end. The male spigot screws directly into a tap, valve or fitting port.
It is used to turn the line without an intermediate nipple at garden taps, irrigation valves, water heaters and meter outlets. It is supplied in 10 sizes from 3/8″ to 4″.
Main Applications
- Garden taps and outdoor outlets
- Irrigation valve and filter connections
- Water heater and calorifier water connections
- Changes of direction at meter outlets
- Short turns at booster set and tank connections
- Connecting equipment on sprinkler branch lines

How to Choose?
- Identify the endsIf the port is female-threaded choose a street elbow; if both sides are pipe, a standard elbow.
- Measure the sizeThe spigot and female end are the same size.
- Plan the final positionThe elbow turns as the spigot is tightened; make sure the female end faces the right way.
- Confirm the mediumUse galvanized fittings at fresh water outlets.
