Drop Ear Elbow 1/2 Inch

The Nibco 70735LF-12 is a 90 degree drop ear elbow made from low-lead bronze. It connects 1/2 inch tube in plumbing and drainage systems. The fitting suits installers who need a secure, code-compliant directional change at a mounting surface.

Fits 1/2 Inch Copper Tube

This elbow joins 1/2 inch copper tube with a 90 degree turn and integrated mounting ears. It frees the installer from adding separate brackets or straps to secure the pipe run. The low-lead bronze body meets drinking water safety standards for potable systems.

Replaces Standard Elbows Without Ears

Use this fitting when a standard 90 elbow cannot be anchored to a stud or wall. The drop ear design removes the need for extra support hardware on vertical drops. The jump is worth it whenever a clean, rigid connection point is required at the termination.
