- Galvanized coating resists corrosion for long service life

Product Identity
The Value Brand 5P797 is a galvanised malleable-iron elbow with 3/8-inch female NPT threads on both ends. It suits plumbers and maintenance technicians who need a 90-degree change of direction in Class 150 water, air or gas piping systems.
Installation Notes
Thread sealant or tape must be applied to the NPT threads before tightening to prevent leaks. Over-tightening can crack the galvanised coating or strip the threads, so hand-tighten plus one to two turns with a wrench is the usual practice.
Deciding Specification
The fitting is rated Class 150 and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers needing a higher pressure class or a fitting without this warning must choose a different product.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 90 degree elbow is seated correctly after threading it onto 3/8" FNPT pipe?
The galvanised malleable iron elbow should turn smoothly until the tapered NPT threads bottom out with no visible gap between the fitting face and the pipe shoulder.
Does the package include pipe sealant or do I need to buy thread tape separately?
The box contains only the single Class 150 90 degree elbow; PTFE tape or pipe dope must be purchased separately for a leak-free joint.
When should I choose the 3/8" Class 150 version instead of a larger size?
Select this 3/8" FNPT elbow when your system uses 3/8" nominal pipe and the design pressure falls within the Class 150 rating.
