• Routing piping around structural obstacles
• Upgrading or repairing existing 3/4 inch plumbing networks

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is specifically designed for 3/4 inch piping and will not be compatible with systems using different diameters without the use of appropriate adapters. It is intended for water supply applications and should not be used in high-pressure steam systems or for transporting hazardous chemicals unless specifically rated for such use.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4 inch
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Material: Durable plumbing-grade construction
• Application: Water supply systems

How to use

To install the NIBCO 417-007 elbow, ensure that the piping ends are clean, dry, and free of debris. Apply the appropriate joining method, such as solvent welding or mechanical connection depending on the specific piping material, to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. Insert the pipe fully into the elbow to ensure a secure seal. Allow the connection to cure or tighten according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific piping material used before pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping to ensure it matches the 3/4 inch specification.
• Check local building codes to ensure compliance with plumbing standards in your area.
• Ensure you have the correct tools and bonding agents required for your specific pipe material.

Usage recommendations

Always pressure test the system after installation to check for leaks before closing up walls or floors. Ensure that the piping is properly supported to prevent stress on the fittings.
