Green Leaf Elf 100 Nylon 90 Degree Elbow 1 Inch Fipt

Product Description

The GREEN LEAF ELF 100 is a 1-inch nylon 90-degree pipe elbow with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends. Molded from white nylon plastic, this fitting is rated to NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards, making it suitable for potable water systems. It is lightweight at 0.14 pounds and designed for low-corrosion environments where metal fittings are not required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting to make direction changes in threaded plastic piping systems. Its nylon construction resists rust and many common chemicals found in residential and light commercial plumbing lines.

The ELF 100 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 90-degree directional change is needed in a 1-inch threaded line. The FIPT x FIPT end connections accept male-threaded pipe or nipples on both sides. Typical install scenarios include water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, and low-pressure fluid distribution systems where nylon fittings meet code and material requirements.

Key Features

• 1-inch FIPT x FIPT end connections for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is lighter than brass or iron alternatives
• NSF 61 certified for contact with potable drinking water
• NSF 372 certified for low lead content compliance
• White color for easy visual identification in multi-line systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch female iron pipe thread connections in threaded plastic plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for plastic fittings to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a strap wrench to avoid over-torquing nylon threads, which can crack under excess force.
