Merit Brass XB101-16 Brass 90 Elbow 1 in Fbspt Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB101-16 is a Class 125 brass pipe 90 degree elbow with female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) threaded connections on both ends. Sized at 1 inch, it redirects piping runs at a right angle in low-to-moderate pressure piping systems. The threaded FBSPT x FBSPT configuration allows for tool-only installation without soldering or pressing. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in residential and light commercial applications where brass corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement are required.

This 90 degree elbow is suited for water supply, compressed air, and general-purpose piping systems that call for Class 125 rated brass fittings. The 1 inch FBSPT thread size fits standard 1 inch nominal pipe. It is commonly used at direction changes in supply lines, equipment connections, and service drops where a female-to-female threaded elbow is needed. The Class 125 pressure rating makes it appropriate for typical domestic water and low-pressure pneumatic service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to the male pipe threads before engagement. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than iron and susceptible to thread damage from excessive torque.
