Green Leaf Se 38 Nylon 90 Street Elbow 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The GREEN LEAF SE 38 is a 3/8 inch nylon 90-degree street elbow designed for use in plastic pipe systems where a direction change is needed without a coupling. The street configuration features a male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on one end and a female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the other, allowing direct connection to standard threaded fittings or ports. Manufactured from white nylon, this fitting is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and rated for potable water applications under NSF 61 and NSF 372 certifications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in low-pressure plumbing lines, water treatment systems, and fluid handling assemblies.

This fitting suits residential and light commercial plumbing applications where nylon construction is preferred over brass or steel for corrosion resistance and weight savings. Typical installations include water supply lines, filtration system connections, and chemical-handling applications compatible with nylon. The 3/8 inch size fits standard pipe runs in tight spaces where a 90-degree change of direction is required without additional fittings between connection points.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow configuration eliminates the need for a separate adapter at one end
• MIPT x FIPT end connections for compatibility with standard threaded pipe and fittings
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is suitable for potable water systems
• NSF 61 and NSF 372 certified for use in drinking water applications
• White color finish for easy identification in mixed-material piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch threaded pipe systems using standard MIPT and FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before working on any threaded connection. Hand-tighten nylon fittings first, then snug with a strap wrench — avoid pipe wrenches or excessive torque that can crack nylon threads. Use thread sealant tape rated for plastic fittings to ensure a leak-free connection.
