Green Leaf Se 12 P 1/2 in Polypropylene 90 Street Elbow

Product Description

The GREEN LEAF SE 12 P is a 1/2 inch polypropylene 90-degree street elbow designed for use in potable water and plumbing distribution systems. Constructed from black polypropylene, this fitting features male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on one end and female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the other, allowing it to transition direction within a threaded pipe assembly without requiring an additional coupling. It is NSF61 and NSF372 certified, making it suitable for installations where lead-free, drinking-water-contact compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This street elbow is used where a 90-degree change of direction is needed directly off a threaded fitting or valve, eliminating one connection point compared to a standard elbow-plus-nipple configuration. The MIPT x FIPT end connection arrangement makes it compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe systems. Typical installations include water supply lines, irrigation headers, and general-purpose plumbing assemblies where polypropylene's corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are advantageous.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow configuration with MIPT x FIPT end connections for direct threaded installation
• Black polypropylene construction resists corrosion and common chemicals
• NSF61 certified for contact with potable water systems
• NSF372 certified for lead-free compliance
• 1/2 inch fitting size suits standard residential and light commercial pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded polypropylene or compatible pipe systems in potable water and general plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns specified by the sealant manufacturer — do not overtighten polypropylene fittings as this can crack the fitting body. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
