Merit Brass XNL102-24 45 Degree Pipe Elbow 1-1/2 in Fnpt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL102-24 is a 45-degree pipe elbow designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Machined from brass with a rough finish, this fitting accepts 1-1/2 inch female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends and carries a 125 lb pressure rating. The 45-degree angle allows for directional changes in pipe runs where a gradual offset is required rather than a sharp 90-degree turn. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water, steam, or gas distribution systems.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where brass fittings are specified for corrosion resistance and thread integrity. Common applications include water supply lines, low-pressure steam systems, compressed air distribution, and hydronic heating loops. The FNPT end style threads directly onto male NPT pipe ends, making it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings found throughout trade plumbing and mechanical work.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for gradual directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 1-1/2 inch nominal size with FNPT connections on both ends
• 125 lb pressure-rated construction suitable for water, air, and low-pressure steam
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement
• Rough finish for standard trade installation without aesthetic finishing requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1-1/2 inch nominal NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the affected system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before make-up; do not apply sealant to the female threads. Avoid overtightening, which can crack brass fittings or damage threads.
