Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738100-12 is a 3/4-inch rough brass cast elbow designed to change flow direction by 90 degrees in pressurized plumbing systems. Cast from lead-free brass in compliance with Public Law 111-380, this fitting meets the lead-free standards required for potable water installations. The elbow is sold in bulk packs of 5 units, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing contractors and service technicians who need reliable directional fittings on hand. Its cast construction provides consistent wall thickness and thread integrity suitable for demanding residential and light commercial applications.

This elbow is used in water supply piping where a 90-degree direction change is required at a 3/4-inch connection point. Typical installations include domestic hot and cold water distribution lines, fixture supply branches, and general plumbing rough-in work.

Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing any existing fitting or making new connections.
