Midland Industries 706200-08 90 Degree Brass Pipe Elbow 1/2 in Fpt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 706200-08 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for directional changes in threaded pipe systems. Forged from lead-free brass, this fitting connects 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) on both ends, making it suitable for potable water and general plumbing applications where lead-free compliance is required. The forged construction provides consistent wall thickness and greater pressure integrity compared to cast fittings. At 0.235 pounds and compact overall dimensions, it is a standard fit for residential and light commercial piping work performed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This elbow is intended for use with brass or steel pipe in water supply, gas distribution, and general fluid handling systems where a 90-degree directional change is needed. The 1/2-14 thread specification conforms to NPT standards. The fitting measures 1 inch center-to-end on each leg, keeping the installed footprint tight in confined spaces such as utility chases, mechanical rooms, and under-sink plumbing configurations.

Key Features

• Lead-free forged brass construction meets drinking water compliance requirements
• 1/2-inch FPT x 1/2-inch FPT connection on both ends for all-female threaded assembly
• 90-degree angle for perpendicular directional changes in piping runs
• 1/2-14 NPT thread form for compatibility with standard brass or steel pipe
• 1-inch center-to-end dimension supports compact installation layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use with brass or steel pipe. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting in standard 1/2-inch NPT threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local authority having jurisdiction. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before beginning any work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjacent fitting to avoid stressing upstream connections.
