Homewerks Worldwide 543-12-12-B Cpvc Drop Ear Elbow

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE 543-12-12-B is a 1-piece drop ear transition elbow designed to connect CPVC pipe to female iron pipe (FIP) threaded metal fittings in a 1/4-bend configuration. The fitting features a slip inlet on one end and a FIP threaded outlet on the other, bridging CPVC tubing to metal pipe threads without adapters. Two integral mounting ears allow the fitting to be secured directly to wall framing or blocking, providing a rigid anchor point that prevents movement and strain at the connection. Wetted surfaces contain no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content, meeting NSF approval requirements and ASTM D2846 standards.

This elbow is most commonly installed in residential plumbing applications where a rigid wall-mounted connection is required. Typical use cases include shower arm stub-outs and washing machine hose valve installations, where controlling pipe movement reduces the risk of joint failure over time. A licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson typically installs this fitting during rough-in or retrofit work in residential construction and remodel projects.

Key Features

• 1-piece brass-to-CPVC construction transitions metal male pipe threads to CPVC tubing in a single fitting
• Integrated mounting ears allow rigid attachment to wall studs or blocking, reducing vibration and pipe movement
• 1/2 inch Slip inlet x 1/2 inch FIP outlet configuration suits common residential supply line sizes
• NSF approved and manufactured to ASTM D2846 standard for CPVC hot and cold water distribution systems
• Lead-free compliant with no more than 0.25 percent weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential CPVC hot and cold water distribution systems requiring a wall-mount elbow transition from 1/2 inch CPVC slip to 1/2 inch FIP threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into existing CPVC piping. Use the appropriate CPVC solvent cement and primer for the slip connection, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Secure the mounting ears to solid backing such as a stud or blocking to ensure the fitting does not shift during valve or fixture operation.
