45° Elbow F.F. 3/8" – DVGW – code: 0120C – Maestrini

45° Elbow F.F. 3/8″ Maestrini (code 0120C)

The 45° elbow F.F. 3/8″ Maestrini, supplier product code 0120C, is a fitting designed to make direction changes in line with a 45° angle. The configuration F.F. (female/female) makes it suitable for connections where maintaining internal threading continuity on both sides is desired, facilitating the insertion of male elements (e.g., nipples or male fittings) according to the system's needs.

Offered in the field of hydraulics and fittings, it is a typical solution for work and maintenance where space or pipe routing requires a gentler deviation compared to the classic 90°. The product is indicated as DVGW and is supplied by MAESTRINI S.R.L. SOCIETA’ UNIPERSONALE.

Typical applications

A 45° elbow is commonly used when it is necessary to change direction of a line without creating too sharp a curve. In the field of plant engineering and maintenance, this type of fitting can be useful for:

• Reorganizing the route of a pipe in technical spaces or plant rooms, where a gradual deviation helps to follow obstructions and passages.
• Creating orderly connections between threaded components, maintaining a more linear geometry compared to a 90° elbow.
• Localized maintenance and restoration on existing lines, when replacing or repositioning sections of the system.
• Technical systems in contexts such as nautics and onboard plant engineering, where it is often necessary to adapt the layout to the available structures and passages.

Note: compatibility with specific fluids, pressures, or plant regulations depends on the overall project and other components used. If you are replicating an existing system, always check threads and fittings before installation.

Operational advantages

45° deviation for a more flexible layout

The choice of an elbow at 45° is often linked to the need to achieve a smoother and more rational path. In many configurations it allows to:

• adapt the line route with less bulk compared to alternative solutions;
• improve the’alignment between components, reducing stress during assembly;
• achieve a more clean and orderly result in technical rooms and plant panels.

F.F. configuration for connections with male elements

The double female threading makes the fitting practical when working with already present male components or when you want to insert a joining element (for example a nipple) to complete the connection. This approach can simplify the management of spare parts and adaptations during maintenance.

Yellow brass: a common solution in fittings

The’yellow brass is a material widely used in fittings for systems. In this product, the material information is maintained as reported in the existing description, useful for those who want uniformity with other fittings already installed or for those selecting components with consistent construction characteristics.

Usage and installation notes

Preliminary check

Before assembly, it is advisable to check:

• measurement of the fitting (3/8") and matching with the line;
• type of threading required by the system (the fitting is F.F.);
• available space and orientation the elbow to achieve the desired path.

Assembly

During installation, work carefully to avoid damage to the threads. If provided by your assembly procedure, use a suitable sealing system for threaded fittings (according to system specifications and workshop practices). Tighten in a controlled manner, avoiding excessive tightening.

Maintenance and replacement

In case of interventions on existing systems, the code 0120C is a useful reference to quickly identify the model and request a consistent replacement. For a correct replacement, always check the coupling with upstream and downstream components and the condition of the threads.

Technical purchase guidelines

If you are composing a bill of materials or a fitting kit, note:

• 45° Elbow F.F.
• Size 3/8"
• Maestrini Code 0120C

This information helps reduce picking errors and maintain consistency between components in stock and on site.

Summary

The 45° elbow F.F. 3/8" in yellow brass Maestrini, code 0120C, is an essential fitting for 45° deviations in systems with female threaded connections on both sides. A practical choice for installations and maintenance in hydraulic and plant engineering, including technical contexts such as boating.
