The UnitedBuilt Choice 5504-16-16 is a 90-degree elbow with 1" female NPTF x 1" female NPTF.
This female-to-female elbow connects two compatible male pipe ends around a 90-degree corner. Both openings are female NPTF, making it a different arrangement from a male-to-female street elbow. Confirm the thread gender and nominal size at each connection before choosing a replacement.
The fixed right-angle body changes the direction of the connection without requiring the connected rigid components to bend. It is useful where the installation already calls for a 90-degree pipe connection. Check room around the elbow and attached parts, including the space needed to turn the components during assembly.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Two female pipe connections | Receives matching male-threaded fittings on both sides. |
| 90-degree fixed body | Changes direction without bending the connected rigid components. |

Plan the assembly sequence so a hose is not twisted and rigid lines are not pulled into alignment by the fitting. Follow the actual fitting supplier’s pipe-thread procedure, including any required sealant or lubricant. Do not loosen a completed tapered joint to point the elbow in a different direction.
| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| First connection | Use a compatible male tapered pipe fitting of the stated size and pitch. |
| Second connection | Match the second male connection independently; both elbow ends are female NPTF. |
| Installation space | Check the elbow envelope, component clearance and wrench access. |
| Connection movement | Use as a rigid elbow, not an adjustable fitting or live rotary joint. |
Confirm the supplied part’s pressure and temperature limits, material compatibility and suitability for the operating fluid before installation. Connection size alone does not establish a service rating. Isolate and fully depressurize the circuit before work, and follow the equipment and fitting supplier’s installation procedure.
