American Granby nlrbe11/4 Bronze Insert 90 Elbow 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The AMERICAN GRANBY nlrbe11/4 is a lead free cast bronze insert 90 elbow fitting designed for use with flexible plastic pipe in potable water and plumbing systems. Manufactured to a heavy contractor-grade pattern, this elbow is cast from bronze and meets NSF/ANSI 372 lead free requirements. The fitting accepts insert connections on both ends, with six barbs on each insert end to ensure a secure, reliable grip on flexible plastic tubing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water systems will find this fitting suited to demanding job site conditions.

This fitting is intended for flexible plastic pipe applications, including PEX, polyethylene, and similar flexible tubing commonly found in residential potable water distribution, irrigation laterals, and hydronic systems. The 90-degree configuration allows direction changes in tight spaces where rigid fittings are impractical. The cast bronze construction provides durability and corrosion resistance appropriate for wet environments and buried or concealed installations. It is sold in a packaging quantity of 10 per carton and 50 per case, making it a practical choice for contractors stocking fittings for multi-unit projects.
