1 inch x 3/4 inch Brass 90 Degree Reducing Elbow Female x Female

1 inch x 3/4 inch Brass 90° Reducing Elbow – FIP x FIP for Directional Size Transitions

The 1 inch x 3/4 inch Brass 90° Reducing Elbow is a threaded pipe fitting designed to make a 90-degree change in direction while transitioning between two different nominal pipe sizes. It features female iron pipe (FIP) threads on both ends, enabling direct threaded connections without the need for soldering or welding. Manufactured from lead-free brass, this elbow is compliant with modern plumbing codes governing potable water systems.

This fitting is commonly used in water distribution systems, hydronic heating applications, and non-corrosive fluid transfer systems where pressure-rated directional fittings are required. The forged brass body ensures strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability in both commercial and residential settings.

Product Specifications

• Material: Lead-free brass (complies with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372)
• Connection: 1 inch FIP x 3/4 inch FIP (NPT – ANSI/ASME B1.20.1)
• Configuration: 90-degree elbow with reducing outlet
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for water systems up to 200 PSI (verify per application)
• Temperature Range: Typically -20°F to 250°F, depending on sealant and system design

Installation Considerations

Thread sealant (pipe dope) or PTFE tape is required on male threads to ensure a watertight connection. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage or deformation. This fitting is intended for rigid piping assemblies and should be installed with support to reduce mechanical stress on the joint. Torque should be applied with a wrench only to the hex portion of the fitting.

Typical Applications

Used in potable water distribution, recirculating hot water loops, boiler piping, and general plumbing systems requiring a size reduction and change in direction. Ideal for use in tight mechanical spaces or when routing pipe around structural elements while reducing to a smaller downstream line.

Compliance and Material Notes

Lead-free brass fittings are required for potable water systems under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This fitting meets federal and state lead-content requirements and is certified for use in drinking water applications. Brass also offers corrosion resistance and superior performance in both cold and hot water systems, making it a standard material in mechanical and plumbing assemblies.

The 1 inch x 3/4 inch Brass 90° Reducing Elbow is a precision-machined, pressure-rated fitting designed for code-compliant directional changes in brass piping systems. It provides long-term reliability where reductions and compact routing are needed in demanding plumbing environments.
