Merit Brass XNL101-32 90 Degree Pipe Elbow 2 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL101-32 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for use in pressurized piping systems where a right-angle directional change is required. Manufactured from brass with a rough finish, this fitting uses female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends for a secure, leak-resistant connection. Rated at 125 lb, it is suited for moderate-pressure applications in water, gas, and compatible fluid distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction or repair work where the piping run must change direction by 90 degrees.

This elbow is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general-purpose piping systems. With a 2-inch nominal pipe size, it fits standard 2-inch NPT pipe and is appropriate for use in supply lines, distribution headers, and service connections where a brass fitting is specified for compatibility with the system fluid or corrosion resistance requirements.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn geometry for right-angle directional changes in pipe runs
• 2-inch nominal size with FNPT threads on both ends
• 125 lb pressure class rated for moderate-pressure service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid systems
• Rough finish suitable for general plumbing and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading or replacing any pipe fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excessive torque can crack the body.
