1-1/4" T-438 IPS Bronze Union Elbow
This bronze union elbow connects 1-1/4 inch IPS piping in heating and plumbing systems. It is intended for installers and maintenance crews who need a reliable joint on radiators, boilers or hydronic loops. The union design allows the joint to be broken and reassembled without cutting pipe. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.
Union joint under pressure and temperature cycles
The bronze body resists corrosion from treated water and glycol mixes common in closed-loop heating. The union nut maintains a seal as the system expands and contracts through heating seasons. Because the fitting can be unthreaded, sections of pipe or radiators can be removed for service without draining the entire loop. No performance figures beyond the standard IPS rating are supplied.
Replaces a soldered or threaded fixed elbow
Use this union elbow when future access to the joint is likely, such as at radiator connections or boiler headers. It eliminates the need to cut pipe or re-solder during component replacement. The jump is worth it on any hydronic circuit where downtime and rework cost more than the fitting premium. Not suited for installations where a permanent, non-separable joint is specified or where union clearance is unavailable.

Questions about this item
Does the bronze union elbow generate heat or noise during continuous operation?
The Legend Valve 110-169 is a passive bronze fitting with no moving parts, so it produces no noise and negligible heat during normal use.
What pipe size and thread standard must my existing system use for this 1-1/4" T-438 IPS union elbow to connect properly?
Your piping must be 1-1/4 inch nominal size with IPS straight threads to match the T-438 specification of this union elbow.
Will the bronze material of this T-438 elbow cause galvanic corrosion when joined to older steel or copper pipework?
Bronze is generally compatible with copper; use a dielectric union if connecting directly to older steel piping to prevent galvanic corrosion.
