It features female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) connections on both ends, making it a standard fitting for changing pipe direction at a 45-degree angle. The fitting is sized at 3\/8 inch and is constructed from brass, offering reliable corrosion resistance in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this elbow where space constraints or layout requirements call for a shallow-angle directional change rather than a full 90-degree turn. Its Class 125 pressure rating suits a wide range of low-to-moderate pressure service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general fluid handling systems where 3\/8-inch threaded brass fittings are specified. The FBSPT x FBSPT thread configuration allows installation between two female-threaded pipe runs using appropriate male-threaded adapters or nipples. It is commonly installed in tight mechanical spaces where a 45-degree offset is required to route pipe around obstructions or align with equipment connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree elbow geometry for shallow-angle directional changes in threaded pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch fitting size suits common small-diameter plumbing and HVAC piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFBSPT x FBSPT end connections on both ends for threaded pipe assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClass 125 pressure rating for low-to-moderate pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance in water, air, and fluid 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 3\/8-inch threaded brass pipe systems rated at Class 125 or lower pressure service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to mating male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug plus wrench-tight without over-torquing the brass threads. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 Degree Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: FBSPT x FBSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1229 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: XB102-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540609368370,"sku":"XB102-06","price":17.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b69d2e816864c47c461f28f9e37d47e5_de719135-d861-4cd2-84f8-3c7299468169.jpg?v=1785859983","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xb102-06-brass-45-elbow-3-8-in-fbspt-class-125","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
