Description
Lead-Free Brass Male Elbow MIP x MIP 90° (Barstock)
Lead-Free Brass Barstock Male Elbows provide a compact 90-degree threaded connection between two compatible female-threaded components. The MIP x MIP configuration provides male pipe threads on both ends, allowing the fitting to change piping direction without requiring separate threaded nipples.
Lead-free brass barstock construction provides a durable threaded fitting for compatible potable-water, plumbing, agricultural, construction, industrial, water-transfer, and general fluid-handling applications where lead-free components are required.

Construction Details
The fitting features a lead-free brass barstock body configured as a 90-degree male elbow.
External male pipe threads are provided on both ends of the fitting, creating an MIP x MIP connection for joining compatible female-threaded piping components.
The one-piece elbow configuration combines two male threaded connections with a 90° directional change, helping simplify installations where two female-threaded ports or components must be connected at a right angle.
Connection Configuration
Male Pipe Thread - MIP
The first male pipe-thread connection installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, coupling, manifold, or equipment port.
Male Pipe Thread - MIP
The opposite male pipe-thread connection provides a second external threaded end for connection to another compatible female-threaded component.
How a MIP x MIP Male Elbow Works
A MIP x MIP male elbow provides two external threaded connections positioned at a 90-degree angle to one another.
Each MIP end threads into a compatible female-threaded connection, allowing two female-threaded components to be joined while redirecting the piping path by 90 degrees.
An appropriate thread-sealing method should be applied to the male pipe threads according to the fitting material, transferred media, and requirements of the piping system.

Male Elbow Design
Male-to-Male Configuration
Both ends provide external male pipe threads, allowing the elbow to connect directly between two compatible female-threaded components.
90° Direction Change
The elbow body positions the two male threaded connections at a right angle, redirecting the piping system by 90 degrees.
MIP x MIP Male Elbow vs. FIP x MIP Street Elbow
Male Elbow
MIP x MIP
Provides male pipe threads on both ends for connecting two compatible female-threaded components at a 90-degree angle.
Street Elbow
FIP x MIP
Provides one female pipe-thread connection and one male pipe-thread connection for a female-to-male 90-degree threaded transition.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Water Systems
- Compatible potable-water piping
- Residential plumbing systems
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Water distribution piping
- Valve and pump connections
- Female-threaded equipment ports
Industrial & General Service
- Agricultural piping systems
- Construction applications
- Industrial water systems
- Maintenance and repair installations
- Manifold connections
- Compatible general fluid-handling systems
Barstock Lead-Free Brass Design
The barstock brass body provides a compact threaded fitting configuration for compatible plumbing and fluid-handling installations.
Combining two MIP connections with a 90° elbow in one fitting can reduce the need for additional nipples or adapters when connecting compatible female-threaded components.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both MIP connection sizes before ordering.
- Verify that a 90° male-to-male configuration matches the intended piping layout.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for brass fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the fitting or mating threads.
- Verify pressure, temperature, media, and lead-free application requirements before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lead-Free Brass Male Elbow?
It is a threaded elbow with male pipe-thread connections on both ends for connecting compatible female-threaded components while changing piping direction.
What does MIP x MIP mean?
MIP x MIP means the fitting provides a male pipe-thread connection on both ends.
What angle does this fitting provide?
The fitting changes the piping direction by 90 degrees.
What does barstock mean for this fitting?
Barstock identifies the construction style of this lead-free brass male elbow.
What connects to the MIP ends?
Each MIP end installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, coupling, manifold, or equipment connection.
How is a male elbow different from a street elbow?
A male elbow provides male pipe threads on both ends, while a street elbow typically provides one female pipe-thread connection and one male pipe-thread connection.
What material is this fitting made from?
This male elbow features lead-free brass barstock construction.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for brass pipe-thread connections, the transferred media, and the requirements of the piping system.
