Description
Lead-Free Brass Male Elbow MIP x MIP 90° (Forged)
Lead-Free Brass Forged Male Elbows provide a compact 90-degree threaded connection between two compatible female-threaded piping components. The MIP x MIP configuration features male pipe threads on both ends, allowing the fitting to redirect a piping run without requiring separate threaded nipples.
Forged lead-free brass construction provides durability and corrosion resistance 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 durable forged lead-free brass body configured as a 90-degree male elbow.
External male pipe threads are provided on both ends, creating an MIP x MIP connection for joining compatible female-threaded fittings, valves, couplings, manifolds, or equipment ports.
The one-piece elbow configuration combines two male threaded connections with a 90° change in direction, helping simplify installations where two female-threaded 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, adapter, 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.

Forged 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 piping components.
90° Direction Change
The forged elbow body positions the two male threaded connections at a right angle, redirecting the piping system by 90 degrees.
Forged Male Elbow vs. Barstock Male Elbow
Forged Male Elbow
MIP x MIP - Forged
Uses forged lead-free brass construction while providing male pipe-thread connections on both ends and a 90° directional change.
Barstock Male Elbow
MIP x MIP - Barstock
Provides the same basic male-to-male 90° connection configuration using a barstock fitting construction.

Forged Lead-Free Brass Benefits
Forged lead-free brass provides durable metal construction for compatible plumbing and fluid-handling systems where lead-free fitting materials are required.
The MIP x MIP elbow configuration combines two male-threaded connections with a 90° directional change in one fitting, helping simplify installations between 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 Forged Male Elbow?
It is a forged lead-free brass elbow with male pipe-thread connections on both ends for connecting compatible female-threaded components at a 90-degree angle.
What does MIP x MIP mean?
MIP x MIP means the fitting has male pipe-thread connections on both ends.
What angle does this fitting provide?
The fitting changes the piping direction by 90 degrees.
What does forged mean for this fitting?
Forged identifies the construction style of the lead-free brass fitting body.
What connects to the MIP ends?
Each MIP end installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, coupling, valve, manifold, adapter, or equipment connection.
How is this different from the barstock male elbow?
Both provide an MIP x MIP 90° connection, but this version is identified as forged construction rather than barstock construction.
What material is this fitting made from?
This male elbow features forged lead-free brass 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.
Where can I find additional fitting information?
