Value Collection 550-005NL 1 Inch Mpt Brass 90 Elbow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 550-005NL is a Class 125 red brass 90 degree pipe elbow designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Constructed from red brass, this fitting connects two sections of pipe at a 90 degree angle using male pipe thread (MPT) ends on both connections. It carries a pressure rating of 125 psi, making it suitable for low-to-medium pressure water, air, and compatible fluid service. The fitting measures 2.75 inches in height with a 1.75 inch by 1.75 inch footprint and weighs approximately 0.57 pounds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in both residential and commercial applications.

This elbow is suited for 1 inch threaded pipe runs where a 90 degree directional change is required. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, compressed air headers, and general industrial fluid systems operating within the Class 125 pressure range. The MPT configuration on both ends threads directly onto female pipe thread (FPT) fittings, valves, or female-threaded equipment ports. The red brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in potable water and mildly aggressive fluid service environments.

Key Features

• 90 degree elbow geometry for right-angle pipe routing in tight or standard configurations
• Male pipe thread (MPT) ends on both connections for direct threaded assembly
• Class 125 rating at 125 psi working pressure
• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid service
• 1 inch fitting size for standard pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for 1 inch MPT threaded pipe systems rated to Class 125 service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before threading or removing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the additional turns specified by the fitting manufacturer or applicable IPC guidelines. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.
