Description
The ANDERSON METALS CORP 738116-12 is a 3/4-inch rough brass 90 degree street elbow designed for use in potable water and general plumbing systems. This fitting changes flow direction by 90 degrees in a compact street configuration, meaning one end accepts a male threaded pipe while the other end is female threaded, eliminating the need for an additional coupling. It is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for use in potable water applications where lead-free materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.
This street elbow is well suited for tight-space installations in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a standard elbow and separate nipple would not fit. The 3/4-inch size is one of the most common sizes in domestic water distribution lines, branch supply lines, and fixture connections. Its rough brass finish is appropriate for concealed installations inside walls, chases, or mechanical rooms where an exposed finish is not required.

Compatibility

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than iron and threads can strip or crack under excessive force.
