Boshart bme-075nl Bronze Insert 90 Elbow 3/4 Inch Mpt

Product Description

The BOSHART bme-075nl is a lead free bronze insert 90-degree elbow designed for connecting polyethylene pipe to threaded fittings in residential and light commercial water supply systems. One end features a 3/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection, and the other end accepts insert-style poly pipe. The smooth sweep channel through the elbow is engineered to reduce turbulence and minimize friction loss, maintaining high flow rates and pumping efficiency. Licensed plumbers and irrigation professionals typically specify this fitting where a directional change is needed on a poly pipe run.

This fitting is suited for potable water applications where lead free compliance is required. It is commonly installed in residential irrigation systems, well water distribution lines, and rural water supply plumbing where polyethylene pipe transitions to threaded pipe or valve assemblies. The MPT end threads directly into standard female-threaded ports on pumps, valves, or manifolds. This fitting is intended for use with poly pipe only and is not rated for hose connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. The insert end is secured to poly pipe using appropriately sized stainless steel clamps or crimp rings per local plumbing code requirements.
