Anderson Metals Corp 738116-02 Brass 90 Degree Street Elbow

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738116-02 is a 1/8-inch rough brass 90-degree street elbow designed for directional changes in small-diameter piping systems. This fitting accepts a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, allowing it to thread directly into another fitting without a nipple. It is lead-free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for installations where lead-free materials are mandated. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of elbow in tight-space applications where a standard elbow and nipple combination will not fit. The compact 1/8-inch size is common in low-pressure gas, water supply, and instrumentation lines.

This street elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas-line applications where 1/8-inch threaded connections are required. Its rough brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water and low-pressure gas service. The 90-degree angle redirects flow perpendicular to the inlet, making it a standard choice for tight-clearance manifolds, valve bodies, and instrument ports. This item is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before beginning any work. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per your local code requirements. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
