Matco-norca ibhl0504lf Lead Free Hydrant Elbow 1x3/4 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA ibhl0504lf is a lead free insert by male hydrant elbow fitting designed for potable water plumbing applications. This elbow transitions a 1 inch insert connection to a 3/4 inch male hydrant thread, making it a practical fitting for connecting poly or PEX tubing runs to hose bibs, yard hydrants, and similar outdoor water supply points. Its lead free construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it suitable for installations where potable water compliance is mandatory. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters typically install this fitting in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

This hydrant elbow is used where a directional change is needed between an insert-style tubing connection and a male-threaded hydrant outlet. Typical applications include outdoor hose bib connections, irrigation system supply lines, and yard hydrant installations where flexible poly or PEX tubing feeds into a threaded hydrant body. The 1 inch by 3/4 inch size combination accommodates common residential supply and distribution line configurations.

• 1 inch insert inlet connects directly to PEX or poly tubing without soldering
• 3/4 inch male hydrant thread outlet for direct connection to standard hydrant fittings

Compatibility

Installation Notes
