Product Details
The Merit chrome plated brass pipe fitting is a 3/8 inch 45-degree elbow with NPT female connections, designed for low pressure applications involving water, oil, and gas (W.O.G.). This fitting has pressure ratings of 125 PSI for steam and 200 PSI for W.O.G., conforming to ANSI B 1.20.1 and ANSI B 16.15 standards. It features superior corrosion resistance, while the material's relative softness allows for easy installation and ensures a tight seal. Chrome plated brass fittings are favored for their ease of cleaning, non-attraction of dirt and bacteria, and maintenance of a shiny finish. However, it is important to note that these fittings contain lead and are prohibited by federal law for installation in potable water systems in the U.S.A. and its territories.
