1/2 inch Brass 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

1/2 inch Brass 90° Elbow – Threaded Fitting for Compact Directional Flow Transitions

The 1/2 inch Brass 90° Elbow is designed for use in tight-radius directional changes in piping systems, providing a right-angle connection between two male-threaded components. Its compact profile and robust material make it suitable for potable water, air, and non-corrosive fluid applications in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.

Manufactured from lead-free brass, this fitting offers corrosion resistance, thermal durability, and dimensional stability—ensuring long-term performance under a range of operating pressures and temperatures. It supports clean joint alignment in confined spaces and minimizes the potential for leak paths when installed to specification.

Performance Features

• ✅ Material Composition Cast from lead-free brass (compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 standards) for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Threaded Connections NPT female ends provide a consistent seal with compatible male-threaded pipe or fittings.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance Suitable for systems subject to periodic moisture or chemical exposure.
• ✅ Space Efficiency Designed for installations requiring a 90° directional turn in compact or limited-clearance areas.
• ✅ Pressure and Temperature Rated Withstands typical operating conditions in pressurized water, air, and hydraulic systems.

Specifications

• Material: Lead-Free Brass
• Size: 1/2 inch Nominal
• Connection Type: Female NPT x Female NPT
• Angle: 90 Degrees
• Max Working Pressure: Up to 200 PSI (non-shock water systems)
• Applicable Standards: ASME B16.15, ANSI/NSF 61/372

Use Cases

Typically used in water distribution, compressed air lines, and hydraulic circuits. Suitable for both new builds and retrofits in copper, brass, or steel piping systems. Common behind-wall or enclosed-space installations where directional rerouting is required without extending line length.

Installation Guidelines

Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads. Tighten to specification using proper tooling to avoid over-torque or thread deformation. Inspect for alignment and joint integrity before pressurizing the system.

Material Insights

Brass offers low friction coefficients and high resistance to dezincification, making it a preferred choice for joints requiring durability in high-use or high-temperature environments.
