Boshart bme-100nl Bronze Insert 90 Elbow 1 Inch Mpt

Product Description

The BOSHART bme-100nl is a lead free bronze insert 90-degree elbow fitting designed for use with polyethylene pipe systems. It features a 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) on one end and an insert connection on the other, allowing for reliable transitions between threaded and poly pipe runs. The fitting is manufactured from lead free bronze, making it suitable for potable water applications where material compliance is required. The swept interior channel is engineered to reduce friction loss and maintain strong flow rates through the connection. Plumbers and water system installers rely on this type of fitting for residential and light commercial poly pipe installations.

This elbow is intended for use with polyethylene poly pipe, not hose applications. It is well suited for well water systems, irrigation laterals, and residential water service lines where a 90-degree directional change is needed at a threaded connection point. The lead free bronze construction meets material standards for drinking water contact, making it appropriate for potable water supply lines in addition to non-potable irrigation and utility applications.

Key Features

• Lead free bronze construction meets potable water material requirements
• Smooth sweep interior channel minimizes friction loss and supports higher flow rates
• 1-inch MPT connection on one end for threaded pipe or fitting transitions
• Insert end designed for polyethylene poly pipe — not intended for hose use
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in poly pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for polyethylene poly pipe systems requiring a 1-inch MPT to insert 90-degree elbow connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or water system technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Insert fittings require a barbed insert end to be fully seated into the poly pipe and secured with an appropriately rated clamp or crimp ring per local plumbing code. This fitting is not rated for hose applications and should not be substituted for hose barb fittings.
