1-1/2 inch Brass 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

1-1/2 inch Brass 90° Elbow – Precision-Cast for Industrial-Grade Performance

The 1-1/2 inch Brass 90 Degree Elbow is a threaded fitting manufactured from lead-free brass, engineered to provide a durable and secure right-angle transition in pressurized piping systems. Designed for consistent thread engagement and corrosion resistance, this elbow supports long-term integrity in potable water, hydronic, and low-pressure fluid systems.

Ideal for use in municipal, commercial, and industrial applications, this component is precision-machined and tested to ensure dimensional accuracy and sealing performance. It is suited for use where directional change and system compactness are required without sacrificing flow characteristics or compliance.

Key Advantages

• ✅ High-Pressure Casting Produces uniform wall thickness and smooth internal surfaces to maintain flow efficiency
• ✅ NSF 61/372 Lead-Free Brass Certified for use in potable water systems in accordance with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements
• ✅ Standard NPT Female Threads Provide reliable thread sealing with appropriate sealants
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Construction Maintains mechanical strength in hot and cold water applications
• ✅ Field-Proven Durability Commonly used in commercial construction and retrofits for threaded piping installations

Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch
• Material: Lead-free brass alloy (compliant with ANSI/NSF 61 and 372)
• Connection Type: FNPT x FNPT (female national pipe thread)
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Standards: ASME B16.15, ANSI/NSF 61 & 372 certified

Common Applications

This elbow fitting is frequently used in water distribution systems, heating loop returns, and mechanical equipment installations requiring a 90-degree turn without compromising pipe routing. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both new installations and piping system modifications in commercial buildings, schools, and multifamily housing.

Installation Recommendations

Use of approved pipe joint compound or PTFE tape is recommended for all threaded connections to prevent leakage. Threads should be engaged to a depth sufficient to provide mechanical strength and seal without overtightening. Compatible with copper, galvanized steel, or brass piping systems when proper joining techniques are used.

Industry Note

Lead-free brass has become mandatory in all potable water systems throughout the United States per the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. This elbow is compliant with all applicable plumbing codes and is rated for continuous use in both hot and cold water systems.

Specify the 1-1/2 inch Brass 90° Elbow when performance, code compliance, and reliability are required in demanding fluid-handling systems. Built to perform under pressure, this fitting delivers consistent results for professional-grade installations.
