Merit Brass XNL103-08 Street Elbow 1/2 in Mnpt X Fnpt 125 Lb

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL103-08 is a 1/2 inch nominal brass street elbow rated at 125 lb, designed to change flow direction in threaded pipe assemblies. It features a male NPT inlet on one end and a female NPT outlet on the other, allowing it to thread directly into a fitting without requiring a nipple. The rough brass finish is standard for supply and distribution applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and light commercial systems where compact, reliable directional changes are needed in threaded lines.

This street elbow is suited for use in water supply, low-pressure gas distribution, compressed air, and general fluid service applications. Its 125 lb pressure rating covers the demands of standard residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The MNPT x FNPT configuration makes it a practical choice when space is limited and a standard 90-degree elbow with a connecting nipple is not practical.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal size with MNPT x FNPT end connections
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for standard plumbing and fluid service
• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and air service
• Street elbow design eliminates the need for an additional nipple between fittings
• Rough finish — compatible with standard NPT threaded assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air, and low-pressure fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten — use a pipe wrench with appropriate leverage for the fitting size and verify there are no leaks after restoring pressure.
