Description
125# Lead Free Brass 90° Street Elbow
125# Lead Free Brass 90° Street Elbows are threaded fittings designed to provide a compact 90-degree change in direction while connecting a female-threaded component directly to a male-threaded component. The street elbow configuration combines male and female threaded ends, reducing the need for an additional pipe nipple in many installations.
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.

Street Elbow Construction
A 90° street elbow provides a right-angle directional change while incorporating male threads on one end and female threads on the other.
Unlike a standard female x female elbow, the male end of a street elbow can thread directly into a compatible female-threaded valve, fitting, or equipment connection. This can eliminate the need for a separate close nipple and create a more compact piping assembly.
Lead free brass construction makes this fitting suitable for applications requiring compliance with applicable lead-content requirements for plumbing products.
