Anderson Metals Corp 738105-1612 Brass Reducing Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738105-1612 is a 90-degree brass reducing elbow designed to transition between 1-inch and 3/4-inch pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Constructed from rough brass, this fitting meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water applications. It is a standard threaded fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters where a directional change and pipe size reduction are needed in a single connection point.

This reducing elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where water supply lines change direction and step down in diameter. Common applications include water distribution systems, fixture supply connections, and mechanical room piping where space constraints or flow management require a combined elbow and reducer. The fitting arrives in a package quantity of five, suiting both single-job use and stocking purposes for service contractors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before making connections. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
