Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 750069-0808 is a brass 90 degree elbow fitting designed to transition a 1/2 inch compression connection to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection. It is used to change flow direction in water supply and distribution lines while joining compression tubing to a threaded pipe or valve body. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a right-angle directional change is required at a compression-to-thread junction.

This elbow is suited for potable water supply lines, fixture connections, and similar plumbing applications where compression tubing must connect to a male-threaded port at a 90 degree angle. The compression end accepts standard 1/2 inch OD tubing, and the male pipe thread end connects to a female-threaded fitting, valve, or outlet. Its lead free brass construction makes it appropriate for drinking water systems subject to lead content regulations. It is sold in bulk pack quantities of 5 units per package.
