Description
125# Lead Free Brass 45° Elbow
125# Lead Free Brass 45° Elbows are threaded fittings designed to provide a gradual 45-degree change in direction in compatible brass piping systems. The angled elbow configuration is ideal for routing piping around obstacles or changing direction where a full 90-degree turn is not required.
These fittings conform with the lead-content requirements for lead-free plumbing as defined by the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and are certified to contain ≤0.25 weighted average % lead. Manufacturer dimensional, certification, and material safety documentation is provided below.

45° Elbow Construction
A 45° elbow is designed to connect compatible threaded piping components while changing the direction of the piping by 45 degrees.
The angled configuration provides a more gradual directional change than a 90° elbow and can be used to create offsets, route piping around obstructions, or adjust the alignment of a threaded piping system.
Lead free brass construction makes this fitting suitable for applications requiring compliance with applicable lead-content requirements for plumbing products.
