DELPHI FITTINGS
Part Number: 5505
NPTF Pipe 45° Female Elbow
Product Overview
The Delphi Fittings Part 5505 is an NPTF Pipe 45° Female Elbow, designed to create a 45-degree directional change in piping systems by connecting two male NPTF threaded pipes or fittings. This elbow features female NPTF (Dryseal) threads on both ends, ensuring secure and leak-resistant joints. Constructed from high-grade carbon steel for durability, the Part 5505 is ideal for applications in hydraulic, pneumatic, and various industrial settings where a precise angular connection is required between male-ended components.

Applications
The Part 5505 NPTF Pipe 45° Female Elbow is used in various systems requiring a gentle angular connection between male-threaded components:
- Connecting two male NPTF pipes or nipples at a 45-degree angle in hydraulic, pneumatic, and lubrication lines.
- Creating smoother flow paths and reducing pressure drop compared to sharper turns in piping systems.
- Applications in industrial machinery, automotive fluid systems, and construction equipment where precise routing is necessary.
- General plumbing and piping in manufacturing facilities.
Installation & Usage Guidelines
- Ensure all threads (both female ends of the elbow and the mating male pipes/fittings) are clean and free from any damage or debris before installation.
- Hand-thread the male NPTF pipes or fittings into each end of the female elbow to guarantee proper alignment and prevent cross-threading.
- Use appropriate wrenches on the body of the elbow (or designated wrench flats, if applicable) and on the mating male fittings to tighten the connections securely.
- NPTF Dryseal threads are designed for a metal-to-metal seal. When connecting with standard NPT male threads, it is advisable to use a compatible thread sealant on the male threads to ensure a leak-proof joint.
- Careful tightening is necessary to achieve the desired orientation of the connected pipes/fittings without over-tightening, which could damage the components or compromise the seal.
