Size
The 5505 NPTF Pipe 45° Elbow provides a compact solution for changing hydraulic flow direction by 45° while connecting two female NPTF pipe threads. Its angled configuration helps route hydraulic lines around components and through tighter layouts without relying on multiple fittings.
Gear House Hydraulics offers the 5505 series in several configurations for hydraulic, lubrication, instrumentation, and industrial fluid systems. The collection lists working pressure up to 5,000 PSI.
Female NPTF × Female NPTF Connection
The 5505 features Female NPTF × Female NPTF connections. Both ends use internal tapered pipe threads designed to accept compatible male NPTF fittings or pipe connections.
This female-to-female configuration makes the 5505 useful when two male NPTF components need to be connected while changing the routing direction by 45°.
Before ordering, confirm the thread type and nominal size of both mating components.
45° Elbow Design
The 45° elbow configuration provides a directional change between connected hydraulic lines without requiring a straight fitting followed by an additional elbow.
This angled routing can help maintain a cleaner hydraulic layout around pumps, valves, manifolds, cylinders, instrumentation components, and other equipment where line positioning matters.
Steel Construction
The 5505 is listed with steel construction, providing a strong fitting body for hydraulic and fluid-transfer connections.
Steel construction makes the fitting a practical choice for hydraulic assemblies that require a robust threaded connection in demanding service environments.
NPTF Threaded Design
The 5505 uses NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) female threads on both ends. NPTF thread identification is important when selecting compatible hydraulic fittings and replacement components.
Always verify the thread standard before installation. NPT and NPTF should not be treated as interchangeable without confirming the specific system and sealing requirements.
Up to 5,000 PSI Working Pressure
The Gear House Hydraulics collection lists the 5505 with a working pressure up to 5,000 PSI. The product page also indicates suitability for high-pressure fluid systems when the fitting is correctly selected and installed.
For a specific assembly, always confirm that the selected fitting configuration is appropriate for the actual operating pressure, fluid, temperature, and service conditions.
Compact Hydraulic Line Routing
A 45° elbow can provide more flexibility when a hydraulic line needs to change direction without making a sharp 90° turn.
The 5505's compact angled body can help organize connections around structural obstacles and closely positioned components while keeping the hydraulic routing direct.
Available Configurations
The 5505 collection currently lists configurations including 1/8 × 1/8, 1/4 × 1/4, 3/8 × 3/8, 1/2 × 1/2, 3/4 × 3/4, and 1 × 1.
Select the configuration that matches the male NPTF connections in your hydraulic assembly.
Built for Demanding Hydraulic Connections
The 5505 is listed for lubrication circuits, instrumentation and sensing lines, industrial hydraulic systems, mobile equipment, construction hydraulics, process controls, and machinery applications.
Its female-to-female configuration and 45° orientation make it especially useful when two male threaded components need to be joined while redirecting the line.
Installation Considerations
Before installing the 5505:
- Confirm both mating components use compatible male NPTF threads.
- Verify the required nominal connection size.
- Clean and inspect the threads before assembly.
- Use the appropriate thread-sealing method for the hydraulic system.
- Position the 45° elbow correctly before final tightening.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the threads or connected components.
- Confirm the selected fitting is suitable for the system's pressure and service conditions.
Correct thread matching and installation help maintain a dependable hydraulic connection.
Why Choose the 5505?
The 5505 NPTF Pipe 45° Elbow combines female NPTF connections with a compact angled body, giving hydraulic installers a straightforward way to redirect fluid lines.
Key features include:
- Female NPTF × Female NPTF connection
- 45° elbow configuration
- Steel construction
- Up to 5,000 PSI working pressure
- Compact directional routing
- Reliable tapered pipe-thread connection
- Multiple connection configurations
- Suitable for hydraulic, lubrication, and instrumentation systems
Select the Correct 5505 Configuration
Selecting the correct 5505 starts with identifying the male NPTF connections that need to be joined.
Because both ends of the 5505 are female, each mating component must have a compatible male NPTF thread. Confirm the nominal size and thread specification before ordering.
For high-pressure systems, also verify that the exact selected configuration meets the operating requirements of the application.
