Anderson Metals Corp 738107-08 Brass 45 Degree Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738107-08 is a 1/2 inch rough brass 45 degree cast elbow designed for directional changes in pressurized piping systems. Cast from brass, this elbow provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point where lines need to transition at a 45 degree angle. It meets the lead-free requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and compressed air lines where a standard 90 degree turn is not practical or space allows for a more gradual directional change.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where a 45 degree offset is required. Common applications include water supply lines, hot and cold distribution piping, and similar systems that require compliant, lead-free brass fittings. The 1/2 inch size fits standard half-inch pipe and is sold in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service trucks and job-site stock. It is appropriate for new construction as well as repair and replacement work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape rated for brass fittings and the fluid type being conveyed. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast brass fittings.
