Description
Leaded Import Chrome Plated Reducing 90° Elbow
Leaded Import Chrome Plated Reducing 90° Elbows provide a 90-degree change in piping direction while connecting two different pipe sizes. The reducing configuration combines a directional change and size transition in a single threaded fitting, helping simplify compact piping installations.
This product is identified as a leaded import chrome plated fitting. Manufacturer dimensional and certification documentation is provided below for reference.

Reducing Elbow Construction
A reducing 90° elbow combines two piping functions into a single fitting: changing the direction of the piping run by 90 degrees and transitioning between different nominal pipe sizes.
This configuration can reduce the number of separate fittings required compared with using a standard elbow and a separate reducing fitting.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible installations where the fitting may remain visible.
