Machined from brass with a rough finish, it connects a 1-inch nominal line to a 3\/4-inch nominal line while making a right-angle direction change. The female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) end style on both ports creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal when assembled with tapered male threads. Rated at 125 lb, this fitting is suited for low-to-medium pressure service in water, gas, and air distribution lines where a simultaneous size reduction and directional change are needed in a single component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer elbow is commonly installed in residential and light commercial piping systems where supply lines transition from a larger trunk diameter to a smaller branch or fixture connection at a 90-degree offset. Typical applications include water supply headers, compressed air distribution, and low-pressure gas piping roughed in during new construction or retrofit service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC and mechanical contractors also use brass FNPT fittings frequently in hydronic and refrigerant-adjacent piping work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree turn and one-step size reduction in a single fitting, eliminating the need for a separate coupler and elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFNPT threads on both ends for standard tapered pipe thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 inch x 3\/4 inch nominal sizing for common trunk-to-branch transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 lb pressure rating suitable for water, air, and low-pressure gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and good machinability for field trimming if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough finish is compatible with thread sealant tape or pipe dope applied during assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 125 lb threaded brass piping systems using NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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 completely before removing any existing fitting or threading in this elbow. Apply an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or pipe-thread compound to the male threads mating into these FNPT ports. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack if excessive torque is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch x 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurn Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: XNL101-1612\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524325048626,"sku":"90LRED134LF","price":27.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/78b322577380f957b9982216c69fd02e.jpg?v=1785446020","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-xnl101-1612-90-deg-reducing-elbow-1x3-4-fnpt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
