Green Leaf Elf 12 P 1/2 in Polypropylene 90 Elbow Fipt

Product Description

The GREEN LEAF ELF 12 P is a 1/2 inch polypropylene 90-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Molded from black polypropylene, this fitting handles both hot and cold water lines where a corrosion-resistant, lightweight alternative to metal fittings is required. It connects via female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on both ends, accepting standard male NPT threaded pipe or nipples. The ELF 12 P is NSF61 and NSF372 certified, making it suitable for potable water contact applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems where chemical resistance and low weight are priorities.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing installations that require a 90-degree directional change on 1/2 inch threaded pipe runs. Common applications include domestic water supply lines, irrigation manifolds, water treatment systems, and chemical-handling assemblies where polypropylene's resistance to scale, corrosion, and many common chemicals is an advantage over brass or iron fittings. The FIPT x FIPT configuration threads directly onto male NPT pipe ends without any additional adapters.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes on 1/2 inch pipe runs
• FIPT x FIPT end connections accept standard male NPT threaded pipe
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, scale, and a broad range of chemicals
• NSF61 certified for potable water system components
• NSF372 certified for low lead content compliance
• Black color provides UV resistance for exposed or outdoor installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch male NPT threaded pipe systems requiring a 90-degree change of direction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading this fitting onto any live pipe. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male NPT threads being inserted into the fitting before assembly. Do not over-tighten polypropylene fittings with pipe wrenches, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
