Elbow 5/4" MF

Product detailed description

Brass threaded elbow – changes the direction of the pipe run by 90° (or another angle depending on the specific type). Brass is a long-proven, standard material for threaded water and heating pipework thanks to its corrosion resistance and reliable tightness when the joint is correctly tightened.

Brass threaded 5/4" MF elbow is the most commonly used connection for steel heating pipework, for example under a boiler and other heating solutions. 

Frequently asked questions

• How do I choose the correct fitting size? The thread size (e.g. 1/2", 3/4", 1") must exactly match the thread size on the pipe or fitting you are connecting to – designations such as FF (female-female), MF (male-female) and similar abbreviations in the name indicate the thread type on each side of the fitting.
• What do the abbreviations FF and MF mean? F (female, internal thread) and M (male, external thread) indicate the thread type on that side of the fitting – for example, "FF" means an internal thread on both sides, while "MF" means external on one side and internal on the other.
• Is sealing material needed during installation? Yes, sealing material (e.g. Teflon tape or hemp fibre with sealing paste) is normally used on threaded joints to ensure a perfectly tight connection – a bare thread without sealant will not reliably seal.
• Does the installation have to be done by a professional? A simple threaded connection can be handled by a competent DIYer with basic skills, but when working on an already functioning system (especially gas or pressurised water/heating systems) we recommend calling in a plumber, who can also verify the tightness of the joint after installation.
• What material and pressure class does this fitting have? It is made of brass, suitable for standard water and heating pipework – exact nominal pressure and temperature values (where stated for the specific product) can be found in the technical parameters above.
