Merit Brass XNL102-12 45 Degree Pipe Elbow 3/4 Inch Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL102-12 is a 45-degree pipe elbow designed for directional changes in threaded piping systems. Rated at 125 lb, this fitting is machined from brass and features female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends. The 3/4-inch nominal size makes it a common choice in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and low-pressure fluid systems. The rough finish is standard for functional installations where aesthetics are not a factor. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This elbow is suited for 3/4-inch threaded pipe runs that require a 45-degree change in direction. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydronic heating circuits. The FNPT threading accepts standard tapered male pipe threads, making it compatible with conventional black iron, steel, copper, and brass pipe assemblies in low-to-medium pressure service.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for gradual directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 3/4-inch nominal FNPT connections on both ends
• 125 lb pressure-class brass construction
• Rough finish suitable for concealed or utilitarian installations
• Standard NPT threading for broad compatibility with common pipe materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch nominal threaded pipe systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
