Brass elbow fitting Perfexim 1/2" female-male (GW - GZ) 90°

Perfexim brass elbow fitting 1/2" female-male (GW - GZ) 90° is a plumbing adapter designed to change the direction of threaded pipe runs by 90 degrees. Made from corrosion-resistant brass, this fitting connects a 1/2" female thread to a 1/2" male thread and is suitable for use in potable water, heating and general service installations where threaded copper, brass or steel connections are used.

Advantages

The brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in typical domestic and light-commercial systems. The 90° elbow profile allows compact directional changes without additional adapters, and the female-to-male threaded arrangement simplifies connection to existing threaded fittings and valves. The fitting’s smooth machined threads ensure a tight connection when used with appropriate sealing materials.

Suitable for

• Changing pipe direction in potable water supply systems
• Plumbing connections in heating circuits and radiators
• Connecting threaded copper, brass or steel pipe components
• Retrofit or repair work where a compact 90° threaded joint is required

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant)
• Connection types: 1/2" female thread to 1/2" male thread
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Application: potable water, heating, general service lines
• Compatibility: threaded copper, brass and steel pipes

How to use

Prepare mating threads by cleaning and applying an appropriate sealant such as PTFE tape or thread sealant paste according to local plumbing standards. Hand-start the male thread into the female thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the required torque using suitable wrenches. Ensure the elbow orientation achieves the desired directional change and that connected components are adequately supported to avoid undue stress on the joint. Inspect for leaks after pressure testing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable thread sealant for potable water applications and follow local plumbing codes. Avoid excessive tightening to prevent thread damage, and select compatible materials to minimize galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
