Everflow Supplies Inc. C69R-1238-NL 1/2 O.D. COMP x 3/8 MIP Reducing 90 Degree Elbow Pipe
A solid lead-free brass 90-degree reducing elbow joins 1/2-inch O.D. compression to 3/8-inch MIP threads without rust or corrosion
- Reducing 90-degree elbow joins 1/2 in. O.D. compression to 3/8 in. MIP for tight piping layouts
- Lead-free brass construction resists rust and corrosion in commercial and residential systems
- Compression-to-male thread design creates a secure bond that prevents water leakage
- Compact 90-degree angle enables efficient routing in confined spaces
- California Proposition 65 warning indicates presence of lead; wash hands after handling
1/2 O.D. COMP x 3/8 MIP Reducing Elbow
This 90 degree elbow connects compression piping to a male iron pipe thread in a reducing configuration. It is designed for air compressor and vacuum pump systems where a secure directional change is required. The solid lead-free brass construction resists rust and corrosion across commercial and residential installations. Handling exposes the user to lead, so washing hands after contact is necessary.
Upgrading from threaded or non-reducing fittings
The reducing 90 degree design replaces separate reducer and elbow components when joining different pipe sizes. It simplifies the piping layout by combining the size transition and direction change into a single joint. This consolidation is worth it when space is limited or when minimising potential leak paths in the compression system is a priority. It does not suit systems that require a straight-through connection or a different thread standard.
Compression and MIP interface limits
The fitting relies on compression sealing for the 1/2 O.D. tube side and tapered threads for the 3/8 MIP side. Proper tightening and compatible tubing are essential to maintain a leak-free bond. The lead-free brass material meets safety standards but carries a Proposition 65 warning for lead exposure during handling. Installers who need push-to-connect, flare, or solvent-weld interfaces must select a different fitting type.

Questions about this item
What pipe sizes does the C69R-1238-NL elbow connect?
This reducing 90-degree elbow joins 1/2 inch O.D. compression tubing to a 3/8 inch male iron pipe thread for a secure, leak-free joint.
How is the compression end of the Everflow elbow installed?
Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the 1/2 inch tubing, insert the tube fully into the fitting body, then tighten the nut until the ferrule seats — do not overtighten.
Does the lead-free brass elbow require any maintenance after installation?
No routine maintenance is needed; the solid lead-free brass resists rust and corrosion, so the fitting lasts through the life of the piping system.
