Why choose this 90° street elbow
Stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and a long service life in challenging environments. The street elbow design minimizes projection, helping you achieve cleaner, more organized piping runs in constrained spaces. With lead-free construction, this fitting supports safer, code-compliant installations in potable water applications and other fluid systems.
Applications and use cases
- Potable water lines and other plumbing circuits requiring 1/4" MIP to 1/4" FIP connections
- Compact piping runs in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings
- Systems where corrosion resistance and durability are priorities, including cooling, chemical handling, and fluid transfer
Installation tips
- Ensure ends are clean and threads are free of debris before joining.
- Apply an appropriate thread sealant for metal threads (such as PTFE-based tape or pipe dope) compatible with stainless steel and the conveyed fluid.
- Thread ends by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug with a appropriate wrench without over-tightening.
