What is a 90 degree street elbow used for in plumbing?
A 90-degree street elbow is a 90° elbow fitting that has one male end and one female end (instead of two female ends like a standard elbow).
This design lets the fitting thread or insert directly into another fitting without needing a short piece of pipe (nipple) between them.
