Midland Industries 38105-1206 90 Deg Reducing Elbow Bronze

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 38105-1206 is a 90-degree reducing elbow fitting designed for directional changes in threaded pipe systems where a simultaneous reduction in line size is required. Cast from bronze, this fitting connects a 3/4-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 3/8-inch FPT outlet. It carries a 125 pressure class rating and conforms to multiple dimensional and performance standards including ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, AWWA C800, WW-P-460C, and MSS-SP-106. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water supply, distribution, and light commercial service lines.

This reducing elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a pipe run must turn 90 degrees and transition from a 3/4-inch line to a 3/8-inch branch or supply stub. Common install scenarios include water supply distribution headers, fixture branch connections, and irrigation system manifolds. The bronze construction makes it appropriate for potable water service where corrosion resistance and long service life are required.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before removing any existing fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making connections. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as this can crack or distort bronze castings.
