Homewerks Worldwide Fcp FDE-12 Cpvc Drop Ear Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The HOMEWERKS WORLDWIDE FCP FDE-12 is a 1/2 inch CPVC drop ear elbow designed to transition from a 1/2 inch CPVC slip connection to a 1/2 inch female iron pipe (FIP) thread. The 90-degree bend incorporates integral mounting lugs that allow the fitting to be fastened directly to wall blocking or framing, securing the outlet point before finish work is completed. This fitting is intended for residential plumbing rough-in work and is installed by licensed plumbers during tub and shower valve installations.

This fitting is commonly used in tub and shower applications where a CPVC riser must terminate at a chrome shower arm connection. The drop ear design holds the outlet firmly in place during arm installation, preventing the fitting from spinning or shifting inside the wall. It is suited for residential new construction and remodel projects where CPVC supply lines are the specified pipe material.

Key Features

• 90-degree drop ear elbow with integral mounting lugs for wall fastening
• 1/2 inch CPVC slip inlet transitions to 1/2 inch FIP threaded outlet
• Designed for tub and shower riser-to-shower-arm connections
• Secures outlet position in wall framing prior to finish installation
• Sold individually (UOM: Each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for residential CPVC tub and shower plumbing systems using 1/2 inch supply lines terminating at a female iron pipe threaded shower arm connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber during rough-in before wall surfaces are closed. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before cutting into existing CPVC lines. Fasten the mounting lugs to solid blocking or backing in the wall framing to prevent movement when the shower arm is threaded in. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the FIP connection and do not overtighten the shower arm, as CPVC fittings can crack under excessive torque.
