Brass 90° Male Elbow
The forged male 90° elbow brass fitting is made of brass with a 90° elbow and can be used to connect two pipes. It has two male threads with NPTF threads and can also be used with NPT threads. These 90-degree elbow fittings combine different pipes at an angle of 90 degrees to reverse the direction of flow.
A brass 90 degree elbow is a pipe fitting used to change the direction of a pipe or tube by 90 degrees. It’s a common component in various plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
- Material: Brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant metal, making it suitable for many applications.
- Angle: 90 degrees, providing a sharp turn in the pipe’s direction.
- Connection Types: Typically available with threaded, soldered, or pressed connections, allowing for compatibility with different pipe materials and installation methods.
- Sizes: Available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various pipe diameter
- Applications: Commonly used in:
- Plumbing systems (e.g., water supply, drainage)
- Heating and cooling systems
- Pneumatic and hydraulic systems
- Gas lines
Advantages of brass elbows:
- Durability: Brass is a strong and long-lasting material.
- Corrosion resistance: Brass is resistant to rust and other forms of corrosion.
- Versatility: Brass elbows can be used in various plumbing applications.

Material and Construction
- Brass: The primary material used in these fittings is brass, a copper-zinc alloy known for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Brass is often used in plumbing and hydraulic applications due to its compatibility with various fluids and its ability to withstand pressure.
- Threaded Ends: The male ends of the elbow are typically threaded according to industry standards (e.g., NPT, BSPP) to ensure compatibility with other threaded fittings. The thread pitch and profile are crucial for creating a secure and leak-free connection.

Brass Fittings: A Wide Range of Products
Brass fittings are essential components used in various plumbing, heating, and cooling systems. They connect pipes, valves, and other fixtures, providing a secure and reliable connection. Here are some common types of brass fittings:
Couplings
- Straight couplings: Connect two pipes of the same size and diameter.
- Reducer couplings: Connect two pipes of different sizes.
Elbows
- 90° elbows: Create a right-angle turn in the pipe.
- 45° elbows: Create a 45-degree angle turn in the pipe.
Tees
- Equal tees: Have three outlets of the same size.
- Reducing tees: Have one outlet of a different size than the other two.
Unions
- Straight unions: Provide a removable connection between two pipes.
- Reducer unions: Connect two pipes of different sizes with a removable connection.
Flanges
- Pipe flanges: Used to connect pipes to other components, such as valves or pumps.
- Blind flanges: Used to cap off a pipe end.
Valves
- Gate valves: Used for controlling the flow of fluid.
- Globe valves: Used for regulating the flow of fluid.
- Check valves: Prevent backflow of fluid.
Other Fittings
- Nipples: Short lengths of pipe with threads on both ends.
- Bushings: Used to reduce or increase the diameter of a pipe.
- Caps: Used to seal off the end of a pipe.
Note: These are just a few examples of brass fittings. The specific types and sizes available can vary depending on the manufacturer and application.
