Merit Brass xnl102-02 45 Degree Brass Elbow 1/8 Fpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS xnl102-02 is a 45-degree brass elbow fitting designed for low-pressure threaded piping systems. Sized at 1/8 inch female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends, this fitting connects two pipe segments at a 45-degree angle in tight or angled run configurations. Constructed from lead-free brass and rated at 125 PSI, it meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, retrofit, and repair work on water supply and distribution lines.

This 45-degree elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air lines, and similar low-pressure threaded systems. The 1/8 inch FPT x FPT thread pattern makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings at this size. Its compact form factor works well in confined spaces where a directional change is needed without a full 90-degree turn.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow angle for directional changes in threaded piping runs
• 1/8 inch FPT x FPT connection on both ends for standard NPT compatibility
• Lead-free brass construction meets applicable potable water regulations
• 125 PSI pressure rating suitable for low-pressure plumbing and pneumatic lines
• Compact size fits installations where space is limited

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/8 inch NPT-threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as brass fittings can crack if excessive force is applied.
