Elkhart Products 1/2 Femal 90 Female Adapter Elbow Brass

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 1/2 FEMAL is a lead-free cast brass 90-degree female adapter elbow used in copper-to-female-threaded transitions in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It connects using a solder (sweat) joint on the copper side and a female threaded connection on the outlet side. The fitting is sized at 1/2 inch and weighs 0.15 pounds, making it a compact, code-compliant component for potable water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a direction change and a threaded female port are needed in a single body. Its lead-free brass construction meets current safe drinking water requirements.

This elbow is suited for residential and commercial potable water systems, hydronic heating supply lines, and general copper pipe installations requiring a 90-degree turn with a female threaded transition. The C x F (copper sweat by female) configuration is a standard arrangement found in fixture supply, valve connections, and equipment hook-ups where a threaded male fitting or valve stem will mate to the female end. It is installed by licensed plumbers in applications governed by the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for potable water systems
• 90-degree elbow body changes direction and provides a female threaded outlet in one fitting
• C x F connection: copper sweat inlet joins to a female threaded outlet
• Solder-type copper end for reliable, permanent joint with standard 50/50 or lead-free solder
• Compact and lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch copper pipe systems using standard C x F (sweat by female thread) connections in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and fully depressurize and drain the line before cutting or sweating any fittings. Clean and flux all copper surfaces before soldering, and use only lead-free solder for any potable water application. Do not over-tighten threaded connections into the female port — use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for plumbing service.
