Value Collection 450-043NL Brass 90 Elbow 3/4x1/2 Mpt 125psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 450-043NL is a red brass 90 degree pipe elbow designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications. It features male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends and carries a Class 125 pressure rating of 125 psi. The red brass construction resists corrosion and dezincification, making it suitable for water service, low-pressure steam, and general fluid handling. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems where a 90 degree directional change is needed in a threaded line.

The 450-043NL is suited for 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch reducing configurations in threaded pipe assemblies. It is commonly found in domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating circuits, and mechanical room piping where a right-angle turn with a thread-to-thread connection is required. The reducing geometry allows a transition from a 3/4 inch supply leg down to a 1/2 inch branch or outlet without the need for a separate reducer fitting.

Key Features

• Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and fluid service
• Class 125 pressure rating at 125 psi for standard plumbing and low-pressure applications
• MPT on both ends for direct threaded assembly into standard NPT pipe systems
• Reducing 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch geometry eliminates need for a separate coupling
• Compact profile at 1.75 x 1.75 x 2.75 inches fits tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for standard NPT piping systems rated at Class 125 or below in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-snug plus wrench-tight using a strap wrench or pipe wrench — do not over-torque brass fittings. Inspect threads for damage before installation to prevent leaks at the joint.
