1/2 X 3/8 GALV RED ELBOW

1/2" x 3/8" Galvanized Reducing Elbow (1/2 X 3/8 GALV RED ELBOW)

This is a threaded pipe fitting used to change direction and reduce pipe size at the same time.

What it is

A galvanized steel reducing elbow:

• One end fits 1/2" male NPT pipe
• Other end fits 3/8" male NPT pipe
• Typically forms a 90-degree turn between the two sizes

What it does

• Changes pipe direction (usually 90° turn)
• Reduces pipe size from 1/2" down to 3/8"
• Combines a direction change + size reduction in one fitting

Key features

• Material: galvanized steel (corrosion-resistant zinc coating)
• Connection type: female threaded (NPT) on both ends
• Design: reducing elbow (elbow + reducer combined)
• Compact fitting that saves space compared to using multiple fittings

Common applications

• Water and air piping systems
• HVAC and mechanical piping
• Instrumentation and control lines
• Tight-space installations where both turning and reduction are needed
