Description
Lead-Free Brass Short Street Elbow FIP x MIP 90°
Lead-Free Brass Short Street Elbows provide a compact 90-degree threaded transition between a female pipe-thread connection and a male pipe-thread connection. The short-pattern street-elbow design is useful where installation space is limited and a tighter connection profile is preferred.
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 lead-free brass body formed in a compact 90-degree street-elbow configuration.
One end provides an internal female pipe-thread connection while the opposite end provides an external male pipe-thread connection.
The short-pattern body reduces the overall fitting profile compared with a longer street-elbow configuration, making it useful in compact piping layouts, equipment connections, and installations where available space is limited.
Connection Configuration
Female Pipe Thread - FIP
The female pipe-thread connection accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, valve, adapter, or other piping component.
Male Pipe Thread - MIP
The male pipe-thread connection installs directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, coupling, valve, manifold, or equipment connection.
How a Short Street Elbow Works
A FIP x MIP short street elbow connects compatible threaded piping components while redirecting the piping system by 90 degrees.
The male MIP end threads directly into a compatible female-threaded connection, while the female FIP end accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or adapter.
The short-body design keeps the connection compact while maintaining the female-to-male street-elbow configuration.

Short Street Elbow Design
Female-to-Male Configuration
The fitting combines a female pipe-thread connection with a male pipe-thread connection, allowing direct installation between compatible threaded components.
Compact 90° Body
The short-pattern body provides the required 90-degree directional change while minimizing the amount of space occupied by the fitting.
Short Street Elbow vs. Standard Street Elbow
Short Street Elbow
FIP x MIP - Compact Pattern
Provides a 90-degree female-to-male threaded connection with a shorter overall fitting profile for installations where space is limited.
Standard Street Elbow
FIP x MIP - Standard Pattern
Provides the same basic female-to-male 90-degree threaded transition using a standard fitting profile.

Lead-Free Brass Benefits
Lead-free brass provides durable metal construction and corrosion resistance for compatible plumbing and fluid-handling systems where lead-free fitting materials are required.
The short street-elbow configuration is especially useful when a 90-degree threaded direction change is required in a compact piping or equipment connection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the required FIP and MIP connection sizes before ordering.
- Verify that the short-pattern 90° configuration provides the required installation clearance.
- 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 Short Street Elbow?
It is a compact 90-degree threaded fitting with a female pipe-thread connection on one end and a male pipe-thread connection on the other.
What does FIP x MIP mean?
FIP refers to the female pipe-thread connection, while MIP refers to the male pipe-thread connection.
What makes this a short street elbow?
The short-pattern body provides a more compact fitting profile than a standard street elbow, making it useful where installation space is limited.
What angle does this fitting provide?
The fitting changes the piping direction by 90 degrees.
What connects to the FIP side?
The female pipe-thread connection accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, valve, adapter, or other piping component.
What connects to the MIP side?
The male pipe-thread connection installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, coupling, valve, manifold, or equipment port.
What material is this short street elbow made from?
This fitting features 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.
