This lead-free brass fitting features a 3\/8-inch by 1\/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) configuration with integrated mounting ears that secure the fitting to wall framing, preventing movement and stress on the supply line. At 0.26 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suitable for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and journeymen working on fixture rough-in and trim-out rely on this type of fitting for faucet, toilet, and appliance supply connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drop ear elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a stub-out is required at the wall. Typical applications include bathroom sink, lavatory, and fixture supply rough-ins where the fitting must be anchored securely to prevent torque and vibration from loosening downstream connections.
