Merit Brass XNL101-20 90 Degree Pipe Elbow 1-1/4 Inch

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL101-20 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for directional changes in threaded piping systems. It features a 1-1/4 inch nominal size with female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends, making it straightforward to thread into standard pipe fittings. Rated at 125 lb, this elbow is cast from brass with a rough finish. It is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded elbow is required. Plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting as part of water, gas, or fluid distribution systems.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial piping installations where a 90-degree directional change is needed in a 1-1/4 inch threaded line. The FNPT end style allows direct connection to male NPT threaded pipe or fittings. It is commonly found in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and compressed air distribution runs where brass fittings are specified for corrosion resistance and durability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
