Anderson Metals Corp 738105-1208 Red Brass Elbow 3/4x1/2

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738105-1208 is a 90-degree red brass reducing elbow designed to connect a 3/4-inch line to a 1/2-inch line in a single fitting. Red brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in potable water and general plumbing applications. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it code-legal for use in potable water systems across applicable jurisdictions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of elbow when a directional change and a reduction in pipe size are required at the same point in a run.

This reducing elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper or brass threaded connections are standard. Common applications include water supply lines, branch takeoffs, and service connections where a 90-degree turn and a step-down from 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch are needed. The fitting ships in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for contractors stocking multiple fittings per job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing existing fittings or threading this elbow into place. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded brass fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
