The 1/2 in. Polypropylene Compression Elbow is a polypropylene compression 90° elbow fitting that redirects a tubing or hose run without requiring tube bending. Polypropylene construction provides strong chemical resistance for acids, bases, and chlorinated water service where brass would corrode or leach. Technical Specifications Specification Value Body Material Polypropylene Connection Type compression Shape Elbow End Connections See product title for sizes Pressure Rating 500 WOG (brass) / 150 WOG (nylon/polypropylene) Temperature Range −20°F to 250°F (nylon/poly) / −20°F to 366°F (brass/SS) Key Features Polypropylene body — resists chlorine, dilute acids, and alkalis Non-metallic — safe for potable water and chemical process applications Light weight; will not corrode or rust Compression connection — no soldering, brazing, or special tools required Ferrule (sleeve) forms permanent seal on copper, brass, and compatible plastic tubing Reusable on copper tube; single-use on soft plastic tubing 90° turn eliminates tube bending and reduces kink and fatigue risk Common Applications Standard in HVAC refrigerant and chilled-water piping, residential gas appliance connections, instrument tubing, water heater and boiler supply lines, and any application requiring a reliable tube-to-thread or tube-to-tube joint without soldering or brazing.
