Standard 1 Inch GI Elbow, 90-Degree Female Threaded, Galvanized Iron

1 Inch GI Elbow

The Standard 1 Inch GI Elbow provides a reliable 90-degree directional change for threaded piping systems. This heavy-duty galvanized iron component handles high-pressure water distribution and industrial gas lines. It accommodates standard 1-inch (25mm) nominal bore pipes, ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection when paired with professional thread sealants.

Built for the Job

On the job site, contractors rely on this 90-degree bend for navigating structural obstacles and creating clean corner transitions in rigid pipe networks. Plumbers typically install this hardware in main water supply lines, irrigation systems, and fire protection risers where structural integrity is paramount. The internal threads are precision-cut to match standard pipe diameters, allowing for rapid assembly without the need for welding or specialized fusing equipment. Because this fitting handles significant mechanical stress, it remains a staple for facility managers maintaining iron-pipe infrastructures or installing new, robust water systems in commercial environments. The thick casting ensures the joint remains stable even under vibration or thermal expansion common in industrial workshops.

• Directional changes in residential and commercial pressurized water mains.

• Cornering for gas distribution lines in industrial kitchens and workshops.

• Framework construction for heavy-duty storage racks and safety railings.

Product Highlights

Corrosion Resistance

The hot-dip galvanization process provides a thick protective zinc layer that resists oxidation and rust in damp environments.

Precision Engineering

• Deep-cut female threads for maximum surface contact and grip.
• Reinforced wall thickness to withstand high internal pressure surges.
• Standardized 90-degree angle for accurate plumbing layouts.

Material Grade

Cast from high-quality iron to ensure the fitting does not crack under high torque during installation.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 1-Inch Galvanized Iron 90-Degree Elbow

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Verify that the male pipe threads are clean and free of metal burrs before threading into the connector.

• Apply a high-quality PTFE tape or pipe jointing compound to the male threads to ensure a watertight seal.

• Use a professional pipe wrench for tightening, but avoid excessive torque to prevent stress on the casting.

• This fitting is compatible with standard schedule 40 or schedule 80 galvanized iron pipes found on most Kenyan sites.
