Brass Elbow Pipe Fitting — Reliable 90° Direction Change for Your Plumbing System Dealing with a tight corner in your water supply line, irrigation system, or compressed air setup? Mismatched fittings and leaky joints are a constant headache for plumbers, contractors, and serious DIYers alike. This brass elbow pipe fitting with internal and external thread gives you a solid, leak-resistant 90° turn exactly where you need it — without improvising with incompatible parts. Each listing is for 1 piece of a brass 90° elbow fitting featuring both female (internal) and male (external) NPT-compatible threads. Available in multiple size configurations including 1", 1"–3/4", and 1"–1/2" combinations, with individual piece weights ranging from approximately 115g to 130g depending on the selected variant. If you need a specific size, check the variant selector above for the full list of available options. These fittings are well-suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water supply line connections, garden irrigation systems, compressed air lines, and threaded pipe direction changes in tight spaces. The dual-thread design makes them especially useful when connecting pipes of the same or different nominal diameters at a 90° angle. 🔗 Compatibility: Designed for NPT-compatible threaded pipe systems. Verify your pipe's thread standard and nominal diameter before ordering. See variant options for available size combinations. ✅ Key Features of These Brass Elbow Pipe Fittings 🔩Dual-Thread Design — Features both internal (female) and external (male) threads on a single elbow, allowing flexible connection between same-size or reducing pipe runs without extra adapters. 🛡️Solid Brass Construction — Machined from brass for natural corrosion resistance, making these fittings a dependable choice for water lines, irrigation, and damp environments where steel fittings would rust. 📐90° Elbow Geometry — Provides a clean right-angle direction change in your pipe run, ideal for navigating walls, joists, and tight mechanical spaces in residential or light commercial plumbing installations. 🔄Multiple Size Options — Available in 1", 1"–3/4", and 1"–1/2" configurations so you can match the fitting precisely to your existing pipe sizes without reducers or bushings. ⚙️Wrench-Ready Hex Body — The fitting body is typically shaped for standard pipe wrench or adjustable wrench installation, allowing secure tightening without slipping or damaging the fitting surface. 🏠Broad Application Range — Suitable for water supply lines, compressed air systems, garden irrigation, and general-purpose threaded pipe fittings for plumbing in both new construction and repair work. 📐 Technical Specifications — Brass Elbow Pipe Fittings Material Brass Fitting Type 90° Elbow Thread Type Internal (Female) × External (Male) — NPT-compatible Available Sizes 1", 1"–3/4", 1"–1/2" (see variant options) Piece Weight Approximately 115g–130g depending on size variant Quantity per Order 1 Piece Finish Natural brass (unlacquered) Working Pressure See variant options or contact us to confirm Recommended Sealant PTFE tape or pipe thread compound Typical Applications Water supply, irrigation, compressed air, general plumbing ⚠️ Note: Thread dimensions and pressure ratings vary by size.

Match the fitting size to your pipe's nominal thread diameter. For example, a 1" fitting connects to 1" NPT pipe. If you're reducing between two pipe sizes, select the variant that lists both diameters (e.g., 1"–3/4"). When in doubt, measure the outer diameter of your pipe threads and compare to standard NPT sizing charts. A 1" NPT pipe has an outer thread diameter of approximately 1.315" (33.4mm). What thread standard do these brass elbow fittings use? These fittings are generally compatible with NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread standards commonly used in US plumbing systems. Please confirm the thread standard for your specific application before ordering, or contact us to verify compatibility with BSP or other international thread standards. Can these fittings be used outdoors or in wet environments? Brass is naturally corrosion-resistant and performs well in damp or outdoor environments in most cases. It is generally suitable for garden irrigation, outdoor water lines, and exposed plumbing. For highly corrosive environments — such as saltwater or acidic conditions — additional sealing or alternative materials may be advisable. What is the pressure rating for these brass elbow fittings? Brass pipe fittings of this type typically handle working pressures up to 200 PSI for water applications, though the exact rating depends on the size and installation conditions. Ratings can vary between size variants. Contact us to confirm the pressure rating for your specific size before use in high-pressure systems. Do I need thread sealant or Teflon tape with these fittings? Yes, applying PTFE (Teflon) tape or pipe thread sealant compound to the male threads before assembly is generally recommended. This ensures a leak-free connection, protects the threads from galling, and makes future disassembly easier. Wrap the tape clockwise (when viewed from the thread end) for 2–3 layers. What tools do I need to install a brass elbow pipe fitting? In most cases, a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench is sufficient. Hand-tighten the fitting first until snug, then use a wrench for approximately 1–2 additional turns. Avoid over-tightening — brass can crack under excessive torque. Use a second wrench to hold the pipe steady while tightening the fitting. Are these fittings suitable for gas lines? Brass fittings are commonly used in natural gas and propane applications in many regions. However, suitability depends on local building codes, the specific gas type, and operating pressure. Always verify compliance with local plumbing and gas codes, and consult a licensed professional before using any fitting in a gas line application. 🛒 Select your size above, then add to cart — ships from our US warehouse.
