Brass chrome elbow fitting FERRO K10C, female/male threaded 3/4" for pipes

FERRO K10C is a brass chrome-plated elbow fitting with female and male 3/4" threads engineered for creating a 90° connection between two pipe runs. The fitting is intended for use in water supply and heating circuits as well as general plumbing repairs where a compact, threaded elbow is required. Its brass body and chrome finish improve resistance to corrosion while maintaining mechanical strength for threaded connections.

Advantages

The brass construction provides strength and good resistance to corrosion in typical domestic and commercial water systems. The chrome plating offers an easy-to-clean surface and additional protection against tarnishing. The combination of female and male 3/4" threads enables direct threaded connection to compatible fittings, valves, and pipe ends without adapters. Its compact 90° shape saves space in tight installations and simplifies directional changes in pipe runs.

Suitable for

• Cold and hot water supply installations
• Domestic heating systems and radiators
• Plumbing repair and retrofit work where threaded connections are used
• Connections to valves, hoses, or other threaded brass fittings with 3/4" threads

When it may not be suitable

This elbow is intended for threaded mechanical connections and not for soldered or compression-only systems; it may not be suitable where welding or permanent brazing is required. It is also not intended for use with aggressive chemical fluids or highly acidic media that can attack brass alloys or the chrome finish.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass with chrome plating
• Connection type: One female thread and one male thread
• Thread size: 3/4" (female/male)
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Typical applications: Water supply, heating, plumbing repairs

How to use

Prepare the mating threads by cleaning any debris and applying an appropriate thread sealant such as PTFE tape or liquid thread sealant compatible with potable water if required. Hand-start the threads to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with suitable wrenches until a firm, leak-free connection is achieved without over-tightening that could damage the fitting or mating threads. Verify connections under working pressure and inspect periodically for leaks or signs of corrosion.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that connected parts use 3/4" BSP or the same 3/4" thread standard as the fitting to ensure compatibility
• Consider water pressure and temperature ranges of your system and confirm material suitability for those conditions
• Decide whether a chrome finish is required for aesthetics or corrosion resistance in the installation environment

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate thread sealants for potable water systems and avoid excessive torque during installation. For installations in aggressive environments, consider alternative materials or protective measures to preserve the chrome finish and brass substrate.
