Anderson Metals 756216-06 Brass 90 Street Elbow 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 756216-06 is a 90-degree street elbow fitting machined from lead-free brass and threaded to NPT standards. Street elbows accept a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, allowing a direction change without a coupling or nipple in between. This fitting carries a 1,000 psi pressure rating and uses a flanged connection style. It is sized at 3/8 inch and suits plumbing, gas, and fuel distribution lines in both residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC techs will encounter this fitting on gas-supply branches and condensate or refrigerant-adjacent piping assemblies.

This fitting is rated for use with potable water, grease, fuels, and LP and natural gas systems. The 3/8 inch NPT thread size is common on branch lines, appliance gas connections, and water distribution sub-runs. Its compact 90-degree street configuration makes it especially useful in tight spaces where a standard elbow plus nipple combination would not fit. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact in jurisdictions that follow lead-free plumbing codes.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow design eliminates the need for a separate nipple at direction changes
• 1,000 psi pressure rating suitable for gas and water service
• 3/8 inch NPT thread on both ends for standard pipe compatibility
• Flanged connection style for positive seating and alignment
• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water installation requirements
• Rated for potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas

Compatibility

Designed for use with potable water, grease, fuels, LP gas, and natural gas systems using 3/8 inch NPT threaded pipe. Suitable as a direct replacement in any application requiring a lead-free brass 90-degree street elbow with flanged NPT connections at this size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following local plumbing and mechanical codes, including applicable sections of the IPC and IFGC. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line completely before removing the existing fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the fitting into place. Do not over-tighten; follow standard wrench-tight practice for brass NPT fittings to avoid cracking the fitting body.
