Brass 90 Degree Street Elbow & Hex Nipple Kit

Pipe fittings are essential components utilized in various industries to connect, control flow, terminate, and change the direction of piping. When purchasing pipe fittings, it is crucial to consider the application, as it will impact the material type, size, shape, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, with a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

For example, a 1/4" hex nipple is used to connect two threaded pipes or fittings, while a 1/4" 90-degree street elbow is used to connect a male-ended and a female-ended pipe at an angle. This set includes a 1/4" nipple and a 1/4" street elbow, both made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability.

The operating temperatures for these fittings range from -53 to 121 degrees Celsius (-65 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit). However, it is important to note that these fittings contain lead and are prohibited by federal law for use in potable water systems in the United States and its territories.
