Merit Brass XB101-32 Brass 90 Elbow 2 in Fbspt Threaded Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB101-32 is a 2-inch brass 90-degree pipe elbow designed for threaded piping systems. It features female iron pipe thread (FBSPT) connections on both ends, allowing a direction change from a straight run to a 90-degree angle without soldering or special tooling. Rated at Class 125, this fitting is suited for moderate-pressure fluid and gas distribution applications. At 2.068 pounds, it is a full-bodied brass casting built for long service in demanding environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system modifications, and repair work.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and water supply systems, and general fluid distribution where a threaded 90-degree change of direction is required. The 2-inch pipe size accommodates high-flow lines common in main supply runs and process piping. Its brass construction resists corrosion in both hot and cold water service, making it a go-to choice where longevity in wet environments is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant tape or compound to the male pipe threads before engagement. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the fitting to proper thread engagement without over-torquing the brass body.
