Value Brand 1" FNPT Red Brass 45 Degree Elbow
A 45-degree red brass elbow with 1-inch female NPT threads rated for 200 psi
- 45-degree elbow redirects flow smoothly in tight spaces
- Red brass construction resists corrosion for long service life
- Class 125 rating suits standard residential plumbing systems
- 200 psi maximum operating pressure handles typical supply lines
- Female NPT threads on both ends ensure secure connections
Application Scope
This red brass 45 degree elbow connects two female NPT threads at a fixed angle in water, oil or gas lines. The Class 125 rating and 200 psi maximum operating pressure suit standard residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Installers use it to change direction without stressing pipe runs or fittings.
Suitability Guidance
The fitting serves technicians who need a lead-free copper alloy elbow for potable or non-potable service at moderate pressure. It is not intended for high-pressure steam, cryogenic fluids or systems that require welded or flanged connections instead of threaded joints.
Critical Specification
The 200 psi maximum operating pressure at Class 125 determines whether this elbow matches the design pressure of the piping system. Exceeding this limit risks joint failure and leaks, so verify the system pressure before specifying this part.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1" FNPT 45-degree elbow without cracking the threads?
Clean both 1" female NPT threads, apply PTFE tape clockwise on the male threads only, hand-tighten, then use a wrench for one to two turns maximum — over-tightening red brass fittings is the common error that causes stress fractures.
What maintenance or replacement will the red brass 45-degree elbow need over time?
Inspect the joint annually for green patina or weeping; red brass resists dezincification but mineral build-up can eventually restrict flow, so plan to replace the elbow if corrosion appears or after a major re-pipe.
At what pressure limit should I worry during sustained operation of the Class 125 elbow?
The fitting is rated for 200 psi maximum operating pressure; sustained pressure near that limit combined with water hammer can accelerate fatigue, so keep working pressure comfortably below 200 psi.
