Merit Brass XNL101-16 90 Degree Pipe Elbow 1 in Fnpt 125 Lb

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL101-16 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. Constructed from brass with a rough finish, this elbow features female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) connections on both ends and carries a 125 lb pressure class rating. The 1-inch nominal pipe size makes it a common choice for water, gas, and compressed-air lines where a reliable right-angle directional change is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of new construction or retrofit piping runs.

This elbow fits standard 1-inch nominal threaded pipe systems and is suited for a wide range of service applications including potable water, steam, fuel gas, and light industrial fluid conveyance. Its brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments. The 125 lb pressure class is appropriate for low-to-medium pressure service lines common in residential and light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC standards. Always depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the additional turns specified by the fitting manufacturer or local code. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as this can crack the body or distort the threads.
