3/8 O.D. COMP x 1/2 MIP Reducing Elbow
This brass reducing 90-degree elbow connects a 3/8-inch compression line to a 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread. It is designed for compression piping systems in both commercial and residential installations. The fitting creates a secure compression and male bond that prevents water leakage. Lead-free brass construction resists rust and corrosion for long service life.
Lead-Free Brass Material and Prop 65 Notice
The body is produced from solid lead-free brass to withstand varied applications without rusting or corroding. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Handling exposes the user to lead, so washing hands after installation is advised. No additional accessories or software are bundled with this fitting.
Simple Threaded Installation and Leak Prevention
Installation requires threading the male iron pipe end into the mating port and tightening the compression nut onto the 3/8-inch tube. Over-tightening the compression nut can deform the ferrule and cause leaks, while under-tightening leaves a path for water to escape. Applying thread sealant on the male threads helps ensure a watertight seal. The reducing design means the two ends are different sizes, so verify both dimensions before assembly.

Questions about this item
Will the lead-free brass fitting need replacement due to corrosion or mineral buildup?
The solid lead-free brass construction resists rust and corrosion across commercial and residential applications, so the fitting itself does not require scheduled replacement for those reasons.
What is the first limit reached when this elbow is under continuous pressure in a compression system?
The 90-degree bend creates the primary flow restriction; pressure drop across the elbow will be the limiting factor before the brass body or compression seal reaches its mechanical limit.
Does the brass elbow become hot or add noise when the compressor runs all day?
Brass conducts heat from the compressed air but adds no mechanical noise; the fitting remains passive and silent regardless of duty cycle.
