5502 NPTF Pipe 90° Street Elbow

The 5502 NPTF Pipe 90° Street Elbow is designed to connect male NPTF and female NPTF threaded components while changing the direction of a hydraulic or fluid-transfer line by 90 degrees. Its street-elbow configuration provides a compact connection option for systems where efficient pipe routing and limited installation space are important.

Gear House Hydraulics offers the 5502 series in multiple sizes, making it suitable for different hydraulic piping and fluid-transfer requirements.

Male NPTF × Female NPTF Connection

The 5502 features a Male NPTF × Female NPTF configuration. The male thread connects into a compatible female NPTF port, while the female end accepts a male NPTF connection.

This arrangement allows the fitting to change the direction of a threaded connection without requiring an additional adapter. Correct thread identification is important before installation to ensure the selected fitting matches the existing hydraulic components.

90° Street Elbow Design

The 90° street elbow configuration changes the direction of fluid routing while keeping the connection relatively compact. This can be useful in hydraulic assemblies where straight fittings would require additional space or create an inefficient routing path.

The angled design can also help position connected piping or components more effectively within a confined assembly.

Carbon Steel Construction

The 5502 collection is listed with high-quality carbon steel construction. Steel provides the mechanical strength required for demanding hydraulic and fluid-transfer applications.

The collection page also identifies a corrosion-resistant finish as one of the fitting features.

NPTF Threaded Design

NPTF stands for National Pipe Taper Fuel. NPTF threaded fittings use tapered pipe threads for threaded fluid connections.

Because different pipe-thread standards can have similar appearances but different specifications, always confirm the required thread type and size before selecting a fitting. The male and female connections should correspond to the components being joined.

Multiple 5502 Sizes Available

The 5502 collection is available in a broad range of size combinations. Listed options include configurations such as:

• 1/8 × 1/8
• 1/8 × 1/4
• 1/4 × 1/4
• 3/8 × 1/8
• 3/8 × 3/8
• 1/2 × 1/4
• 1/2 × 1/2
• 3/4 × 3/4
• 1 × 3/4
• 1 1/4 × 1 1/4
• 1 1/2 × 1 1/2
• 2 × 2

The collection page lists these and additional size combinations, allowing the 5502 to accommodate different NPTF connection requirements.

Designed for Hydraulic and Fluid-Transfer Applications

The 5502 NPTF street elbow can be incorporated into a variety of hydraulic and fluid-transfer assemblies. Gear House Hydraulics lists applications including hydraulic piping systems, hydraulic hose assemblies, pumps, valves, cylinders, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, industrial fluid-transfer systems, and mobile hydraulic equipment.

Its 90° configuration can be particularly useful when piping or hose routing needs to change direction within a compact installation.
