Brasscraft 49-6-6wn Brass 90 Degree Elbow 3/8 X 3/8

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT 49-6-6wn is a 90-degree reducing elbow fitting designed to connect 3/8 inch OD flared tubing to a 3/8 inch male NPT-threaded port. Constructed from lead-free brass, it delivers a secure, mechanical seal suited for fuel gas, potable water, compressed air, and hydraulic fluid systems. The compact body measures 1.75 inches wide and 1.35 inches tall, allowing directional changes in confined spaces without sacrificing connection integrity. Weighing 0.19 pounds, this elbow is a practical solution for plumbers and gas fitters working in tight installation environments where a reliable 90-degree transition is required.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where flared tubing must transition to a male NPT port at a right angle. Common install scenarios include gas appliance connections, water supply lines, and compressed air distribution systems. Its lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact, making it suitable for both plumbing and gas service work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 3/8 inch OD flare connections transitioning to 3/8 inch male NPT-threaded ports in plumbing, gas, and compressed air applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing fitting or installing this elbow. Flare connections require a properly prepared flare seat on the tubing end — inspect the flare for cracks or deformation before assembly. Do not overtighten the flare nut, as this can distort the seating surface and compromise the seal.
