3/4" C x F Drop Ear Elbow

This Legend Valve 302-224NL fitting connects 3/4-inch sweat copper pipe to a 3/4-inch female NPT thread. The drop ear design provides a secure mounting point for shower arms or tub spouts. It is forged from no-lead brass for potable water safety. Suitable for residential and commercial bathware installations.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The forged brass construction resists deformation under continuous water pressure and thermal cycling. No-lead alloy maintains structural integrity without leaching into the water supply. The sweat connection creates a permanent, leak-free joint when properly soldered. Mounting ears transfer fixture weight to the framing, reducing stress on the piping.

Upgrade Context

This elbow replaces standard brass fittings that contain lead, addressing California Proposition 65 compliance requirements. The jump is worth it when local codes mandate no-lead materials for drinking water systems. It also supersedes thread-only connections where a sweat inlet simplifies copper pipe installation. Not for installers needing a male-threaded inlet or a different pipe diameter.

Questions about this item

Does the 302-224NL elbow generate heat or noise when water runs through it continuously?

The 302-224NL is a passive brass fitting with no moving parts, so it produces no noise and adds no heat to the plumbing system.

What pipe material and tools do I need to install the 302-224NL sweat connection?

You need 3/4" copper tubing, flux, lead-free solder, a torch and a pipe cutter to sweat the inlet side of the 302-224NL elbow.

Will the 302-224NL drop-ear elbow thread onto my existing 3/4" FNPT shower arm?

Yes, the 302-224NL has a 3/4" FNPT outlet that mates directly with standard 3/4" male shower arms or nipples.
