1/2 inch Chrome 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

1/2 Inch Chrome-Plated Brass 90 Degree Elbow – FNPT x FNPT

This 1/2 inch 90-degree elbow with female National Pipe Thread (NPT) connections on both ends is designed to facilitate directional changes in piping systems within confined spaces. Constructed from solid brass and finished with chrome plating, it offers excellent mechanical performance and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for potable water and other pressurized applications.

Key Performance Features

• Material: Cast brass body with corrosion-resistant chrome finish
• Connection Type: 1/2 inch FNPT x FNPT
• Pressure Rating: Up to 200 psi non-shock water, oil, and air
• Temperature Range: -20°F to 400°F, depending on application medium

Technical Advantages

• Thread Integrity: Precision-machined threads ensure secure engagement and seal performance consistent with ANSI B1.20.1
• Corrosion Resistance: Chrome plating provides a barrier against oxidation and scaling in high-humidity and wet environments
• Durability: Brass construction delivers robust mechanical strength and long service life under thermal cycling and mechanical load
• Code Compliance: Meets applicable plumbing standards for use in potable water systems (NSF/ANSI 61 & NSF 372 lead-free certified when specified)

Installation Guidelines

This fitting is designed for threaded installation using approved sealants or PTFE tape. For optimal results in water supply applications, torque specifications should be followed as per pipe diameter and material. It is recommended for use by qualified personnel familiar with national and local plumbing codes. Not intended for use with natural gas or LP systems unless specifically rated.

Common Applications

The 1/2 inch chrome 90-degree elbow is commonly used in:

• Lavatory and kitchen faucet supply lines
• Commercial and residential potable water distribution
• Equipment tie-ins where visual appeal and corrosion resistance are priorities
• Space-constrained retrofit installations and system rerouting

Note:

Chrome-plated fittings provide both aesthetic value and functional resilience in exposed applications. When installing in visible or decorative settings, ensure alignment and thread masking are consistent for a clean finish.
