Merit Brass XB101-12 Brass 90 Elbow 3/4 in Fbspt Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB101-12 is a 3/4-inch brass pipe 90-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded piping systems. It connects two female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) threaded ends, allowing a right-angle directional change in a run of pipe. Built to Class 125 pressure rating, this fitting is suited for low-to-medium pressure applications in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working with copper or brass pipe assemblies where a reliable, leak-resistant threaded connection is required.

This elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a 90-degree change of direction is needed in a brass or compatible threaded pipe system. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air lines, and general-purpose fluid handling systems operating within Class 125 pressure limits. The FBSPT x FBSPT configuration means both ends accept male-threaded pipe without adapters.

Key Features

• 3/4-inch fitting size for standard pipe connections
• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle directional changes
• FBSPT x FBSPT threaded ends on both sides
• Class 125 pressure rating for low-to-medium pressure service
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/4-inch male-threaded pipe in Class 125 brass threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male pipe threads before making up the joint. Tighten fittings to snug-plus-hand-tight using a pipe wrench; do not over-torque brass fittings, as the material can crack. All installations should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
