Merit Brass XNL102-16 45 Degree Pipe Elbow 1 in Fnpt Brass

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL102-16 is a 45-degree pipe elbow designed for directional changes in threaded piping systems. Rated at 125 lb, this fitting features a female NPT (FNPT) connection on both ends and a nominal size of 1 inch. Constructed from brass with a rough finish, it is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications where a reliable angled transition is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this fitting when routing pipe around obstructions or making gradual directional changes in pressurized systems.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial piping installations where brass threaded fittings are specified. The FNPT end style allows direct thread engagement with standard NPT-threaded pipe and valves. It is a common component in water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydronic systems where a 45-degree change in direction is needed rather than a sharper 90-degree turn.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for gradual directional pipe routing
• 1-inch nominal size with FNPT connections on both ends
• 125 lb pressure-class rating for threaded brass fittings
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in water and air service
• Rough finish suitable for standard threaded piping installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-inch NPT-threaded pipe and fittings in 125 lb class threaded brass piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before engagement, and tighten using pipe wrenches to avoid over-torquing the fitting. Installations must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and standards.
