Description
125# Leaded Brass Reducing 90° Elbow
125# Leaded Brass Reducing 90° Elbows are threaded fittings designed to change piping direction by 90 degrees while transitioning between two different nominal pipe sizes. This configuration combines a right-angle directional change and size reduction in a single brass fitting.
This product is identified as a 125# leaded brass fitting. Manufacturer dimensional, certification, and material safety documentation is provided below for reference.

Reducing 90° Elbow Construction
A reducing 90° elbow redirects a compatible threaded piping run through a right-angle turn while connecting two different nominal pipe sizes.
This fitting can eliminate the need to combine a standard 90° elbow with a separate reducing fitting in applications where both a directional change and size transition are required at the same point.
The compact configuration can help simplify piping layouts and reduce the number of individual threaded joints.
Why Choose a Reducing 90° Elbow?
Direction & Size Change

- Connects two different nominal sizes
- Combines two piping functions in one fitting
- Useful in compact piping layouts
- Reduces the need for additional fittings
Threaded Brass Construction
- Brass fitting body
- Leaded material
- Threaded connection configuration
- Suitable for compatible piping applications
- Manufacturer documentation provided below
Reducing Elbow vs. Standard 90° Elbow
Reducing 90° Elbow
- Connects different nominal pipe sizes
- Provides a 90-degree directional change
- Combines reduction and direction change
- May eliminate a separate reducer
- This product configuration
Standard 90° Elbow
- Typically connects the same nominal size on both ends
- Provides a 90-degree directional change only
- Requires a separate reducing fitting when size transition is needed
- Common in uniform-size piping runs
- Different configuration from a reducing elbow
Common Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical Piping
- Threaded piping systems
- Pipe size transitions
- Directional piping changes
- Equipment connections
- General plumbing assemblies
Industrial & General Service
- Mechanical piping installations
- Maintenance and repair work
- Compatible process piping
- Utility piping transitions
- Applications requiring compact size reduction and direction change
Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm both required nominal connection sizes before ordering.
- Verify which side of the elbow requires the larger and smaller connection.
- Confirm thread compatibility with both mating piping components.
- Verify that the 90-degree reducing configuration matches the intended piping layout.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant for the system media, pressure, and temperature.
- Apply thread sealant according to the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
- Use appropriate wrenching surfaces during installation.
- Avoid over-tightening threaded fittings.
- Confirm pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before use.
- Verify that leaded brass is permitted for the intended application.
- Installation should comply with applicable piping, plumbing, and project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a reducing 90° elbow used for?
A reducing 90° elbow changes piping direction by 90 degrees while connecting two different nominal pipe sizes.
How is a reducing elbow different from a standard elbow?
A reducing elbow has different connection sizes on its two ends. A standard elbow typically uses the same nominal size on both ends.
Can this fitting replace an elbow and reducer?
In compatible layouts, yes. A reducing elbow can combine the directional change and size reduction that might otherwise require two separate fittings.
What material is this fitting?
The supplied product information identifies this fitting as leaded brass.
What pressure class is this fitting?
The product is identified as a 125# fitting.
Is this fitting lead free?
No. The supplied product information identifies this fitting as leaded.
Where can I find fitting dimensions?
