Constructed from one-piece DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, it is rated for 200 degrees F and 200 psi. The drop ear design provides a threaded mounting flange that anchors a shower arm, wall-mount faucet, or similar fixture to a stud or backing plate. Licensed plumbers and experienced trade professionals install this fitting when a permanent, pressure-rated 90-degree turn and a fixed wall attachment point are needed in the same fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is suitable for use with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe, making it a versatile choice across new construction and retrofit plumbing work. The push-to-connect mechanism allows the pipe to be inserted and locked without soldering, crimping, or gluing, which reduces labor time at rough-in. The fitting is removable and reusable with a standard SharkBite disconnect clip or disconnect tongs, supporting inspection, rework, or reconfiguration after initial installation. It is safe for in-wall and underground burial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-piece DZR brass construction resists dezincification in aggressive water conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 200 degrees F and 200 psi for demanding residential plumbing service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe — no solder, crimp, or glue required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop ear mounting flange allows secure attachment to wall framing or backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable and reusable with standard disconnect tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for in-wall and buried installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free compliant — no more than 0.25% weighted average lead content on wetted surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with 3\/4-inch copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe.
