5504 NPTF Pipe 90° Street Elbow, Female

The 5504 NPTF Pipe 90° Street Elbow provides a compact way to change hydraulic line direction while connecting compatible pipe-threaded components. Its street-elbow configuration combines the directional change and threaded connection in one fitting, helping simplify hydraulic layouts where installation space is limited.

Gear House Hydraulics lists the 5504 for lubrication, instrumentation, and most high-pressure hydraulic systems, with working pressures up to 5,000 PSI depending on tube and fitting size.

90° Street Elbow Design

The 5504 uses a 90° street-elbow configuration, allowing the connected line to turn sharply while keeping the fitting relatively compact.

Unlike a straight adapter, the angled body helps reposition a hydraulic line around valves, manifolds, pumps, cylinders, and other components. The street configuration can also reduce the need for combining multiple fittings to achieve the desired routing.

NPTF Pipe Connection

The 5504 is part of the NPTF pipe fitting range and is designed for threaded hydraulic connections. Correct thread identification is essential when selecting a replacement or adding a fitting to an existing system.

Before installation, verify the required connection sizes and confirm that the mating components use the appropriate compatible pipe thread.

Steel Construction

The 5504 is listed with steel construction, providing a strong fitting body for demanding hydraulic and fluid-transfer connections.

Steel construction makes the fitting a practical choice for hydraulic assemblies where a robust threaded connection is required.

Up to 5,000 PSI Working Pressure

The 5504 collection page lists working pressures up to 5,000 PSI, with the actual working pressure varying according to tube and fitting size. Applications involving extreme pressures at or above 5,000 PSI should be evaluated according to the specific fitting and system requirements.

Always verify the pressure rating of the exact 5504 configuration before installation.

Compact Hydraulic Line Routing

The 90° street configuration is useful when hydraulic lines need to change direction without taking up unnecessary installation space.

A compact elbow can help keep routing organized around hydraulic components while reducing awkward hose or pipe positioning. This makes the 5504 a practical option for assemblies where both connection access and line direction matter.

Multiple 5504 Configurations

Gear House Hydraulics lists the 5504 in multiple configurations, including 1/8 × 1/8, 1/4 × 1/8, 1/4 × 1/4, 3/8 × 1/4, 3/8 × 3/8, 1/2 × 1/4, 1/2 × 3/8, 1/2 × 1/2, 3/4 × 1/2, 3/4 × 3/4, 1 × 3/4, 1 × 1, 1-1/4 × 1-1/4, and larger configurations through 1-1/2 × 1-1/2.

Select the exact configuration based on the connection sizes required by your hydraulic assembly.

Built for Demanding Hydraulic Systems

The 5504 is listed for lubrication, instrumentation, and most high-pressure hydraulic systems.

Its compact 90° design makes it useful where hydraulic lines need to be redirected around system components while maintaining a direct threaded connection.

Installation Considerations

Before installing the 5504:

• Confirm the required pipe thread type and connection size.
• Check the mating component specifications.
• Clean the threads before assembly.
• Use the appropriate thread-sealing method for the system.
• Position the elbow correctly before final tightening.
• Avoid excessive tightening that may damage threads or connected components.
• Confirm the exact fitting pressure rating meets the system requirement.

Correct thread matching and installation are important for dependable hydraulic performance.

Why Choose the 5504?

The 5504 NPTF Pipe 90° Street Elbow combines a compact street configuration with a 90° directional change, making it a practical choice for hydraulic systems where routing space matters.

Key features include:

• 90° street-elbow configuration
• Steel construction
• Compact hydraulic routing
• NPTF pipe-thread connection
• Multiple connection configurations
• Working pressures up to 5,000 PSI depending on tube and fitting size
• Suitable for lubrication and instrumentation systems
• Suitable for most high-pressure hydraulic systems

Select the Correct 5504

Choosing the correct 5504 starts with identifying the connection requirements of the components being joined.

Check both nominal connection sizes carefully and match them with the appropriate 5504 configuration. For reducing combinations, make sure the larger and smaller connection sizes correspond to the components in your assembly.

If the system operates at high pressure, also confirm the pressure rating for the exact fitting size rather than relying only on the maximum series rating.
