Common Questions

Why use an M x F 45 elbow instead of F x F?

The male end screws straight into a female fitting, so you lose a nipple and the turn sits tighter to the fitting.

Which sizes are listed for the M x F 45?

1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch, the common small bore steel sizes.

How tight should a galvanised thread be?

Firm, with a few turns past hand tight, and stop with the fitting facing the right way. Never back a thread off to line it up, as that can open a leak.
