Merit Brass-C103A-08 Chrome Plated Brass Pipe Fitting, 45 Degree Street Elbow, 1/2" NPT Male x Female

The Merit Brass chrome-plated brass pipe fitting is a 45-degree street elbow with male and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting two pipes to change the direction of flow. Made of brass with a high gloss, chrome-plated finish, this elbow is easier to clean than regular brass and more corrosion resistant than stainless steel. The pressure ratings for this fitting are 125 psi for steam and 200 psi for water, oil, and gas (W.O.G.), and it meets standards ASTM B-584, ANSI B 1.20.1, and ANSI B 16.15 for quality assurance.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Merit Brass manufactures pipe nipples following ISO 9001 standards for quality assurance. Family-owned since 1937, the company is based in Cleveland, OH. Merit Brass distributes pipe fittings to the United States and Canada.
