This fitting is used to change flow direction in a piping run while maintaining a gradual, low-resistance sweep. The long-turn geometry reduces turbulence and pressure drop compared to a standard short-turn elbow, making it well suited for liquid service lines in plumbing and hydronic systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where maintaining flow efficiency and minimizing friction loss are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a press connection is required on one end and a threaded female connection is required on the other. The press end allows fast, flame-free joining to compatible copper or press-fit tubing, while the FIP end threads onto male-threaded components such as valves, adapters, or equipment connections. It is a practical choice in retrofit and new-construction applications where mixed connection types exist in the same piping run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-turn 90-degree sweep reduces pressure drop and flow turbulence compared to short-turn elbows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress end provides fast, flame-free installation compatible with press-fit tooling systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFIP threaded end connects directly to male-threaded valves, adapters, and equipment ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch nominal size suits common residential and light commercial pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-end configuration simplifies transitions between press and threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1\/2 inch press and female-iron-pipe plumbing systems.

Shut off and depressurize the water supply before beginning work, and ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and dry before pressing. Use a calibrated press tool rated for the fitting size and follow the fitting manufacturer pressing sequence. Thread the FIP end with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape applied to the male threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Iron Pipe (FIP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurn Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long Turn 90 Degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.77 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MB11270\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233441874226,"sku":"MB11270","price":53.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307614403.jpg?v=1780100133","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-mb11270-long-turn-90-elbow-1-1-2-in-press-x-fip","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
