Product Details
The Merit chrome plated brass pipe fitting is a 1/2 inch 90 degree elbow with NPT female connections, designed for use in low pressure applications involving water, oil, and gas (W.O.G.). The fittings boast pressure ratings of 125 PSI for steam and 200 PSI for W.O.G., complying with ANSI B 1.20.1 and ANSI B 16.15 standards. They are constructed to provide superior corrosion resistance, and the relative softness of the material facilitates easy installation and a tight seal. Chrome plated brass fittings are preferred for their easy-to-clean surfaces that do not attract dirt and bacteria, while maintaining a shiny finish. However, it is important to note that these fittings contain lead and are prohibited by federal law from being installed for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories.
