Rehau 317170-001 Everloc+ 1/2 Inches X 1/2 Inches Npt Brass Female Drop Ear Elbow Lead Free Pexa Compression Fitting

Product Description

The REHAU 317170-001 is a lead-free brass female drop ear elbow designed for use with REHAU EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fitting systems and PEXa pipe. This fitting connects 1/2 inches PEXa tubing to a 1/2 inches female National Pipe Taper thread, making it a go-to choice for plumbers and pipefitters who need a secure, wall-mounted transition point. The drop ear design includes mounting ears that allow the fitting to be fastened directly to a wall stud or blocking, providing a stable base for shower arms, tub spouts, and other plumbing fixtures that require a fixed connection point.

EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fittings use a patented sleeve-and-tool compression method engineered specifically for REHAU PEXa pipe. Installation is performed using compatible EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools. The system meets the requirements of ASTM F877 and CSA B137.5 for SDR9 PEX pipe, ensuring performance under rated temperature and pressure conditions. The NPT threads on this fitting conform to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, which govern National Pipe Taper thread geometry used throughout the plumbing industry.

The brass construction delivers long-term corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in both hot and cold water distribution systems. All EVERLOC+ fittings and sleeves, including this drop ear elbow, comply with the lead-free requirements of the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act, making them suitable for potable water applications in residential and commercial projects. Plumbers working on new construction, remodel, or repipe jobs will find this fitting reliable for wall rough-in work where a threaded female outlet is needed at a fixed point.

• Compression x FNPT connection type for secure PEXa pipe to NPT thread transitions
• Lead-free brass construction compliant with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act requirements
• Drop ear mounting design allows direct fastening to wall framing for stable fixture support
