Anderson Metals Corp 738107-06 Brass 45 Degree Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738107-06 is a 3/8-inch rough brass 45-degree cast elbow designed for directional changes in fluid or gas piping systems. Cast from rough brass, this elbow delivers durable, corrosion-resistant performance in both residential and light commercial applications. It meets lead-free compliance requirements under Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-free fittings are mandated. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this type of fitting for tight-angle transitions in supply lines, distribution runs, and service connections.

This 45-degree elbow is used where a moderate directional change is needed without the sharp turn of a 90-degree fitting. It fits into standard 3/8-inch pipe configurations and is well suited for residential water supply, HVAC condensate lines, and light commercial plumbing rough-in work. The cast brass construction holds up to the vibration and pressure cycling common in active piping systems. Its bulk packaging makes it practical for contractors stocking fittings for ongoing service work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or threading pipe and installing this fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded connections as required by the fitting type. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as cast brass can crack under excessive torque.
