Merit Brass XNL101-12 90 Degree Pipe Elbow 3/4 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL101-12 is a 90-degree pipe elbow rated at 125 lb, designed for use in threaded piping systems where a right-angle directional change is required. Constructed from brass with a rough finish, this fitting accepts female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends at a 3/4 inch nominal pipe size. It is a standard import-grade fitting suitable for plumbing, light industrial, and mechanical systems where brass construction is specified for corrosion resistance and compatibility with a range of media. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general fluid handling applications where a 90-degree change of direction is needed in a threaded 3/4 inch pipe run. The FNPT end style on both ports allows direct thread engagement with male NPT pipe ends, making it a drop-in fit for standard NPT piping systems commonly found throughout the trade.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before engagement.
