TDM Brass 701/200 Elbow 1/2" Female-Female Threaded Fitting

The TDM Brass 701/200 Elbow is a professional-grade threaded fitting designed to facilitate a precise 90-degree directional change in plumbing and heating piping systems. Engineered with a 1/2" female-to-female connection, this component is crafted from high-quality brass to provide a robust and reliable solution for fluid transport. Its durable construction ensures that it can withstand the rigors of daily operation in both residential and industrial environments while maintaining a secure, leak-proof seal.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass elbow is its exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, which significantly extends the service life of the piping system. The precision-machined threads ensure a smooth and tight connection, minimizing the risk of leaks and simplifying the installation process for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Its compact design allows for efficient use of space in tight plumbing configurations, while the high-quality material composition guarantees stability under varying pressure and temperature conditions.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• HVAC heating and cooling installations
• Industrial fluid transport networks
• Piping systems requiring a 90-degree directional change

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with piping materials that are incompatible with brass, such as certain specialized plastic or composite systems that require specific transition adapters. It should also be avoided in environments with highly aggressive chemical substances that could cause dezincification or rapid degradation of the brass material.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 1/2" Female-Female
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Number of connections: 2

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 701/200 elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant, to the male threads of the connecting pipes. Screw the pipes into the female ends of the elbow by hand until firm, then use a suitable wrench to tighten the connection to the required torque. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the threads or the fitting body.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the pipe diameter matches the 1/2" specification
• Ensure compatibility with the existing piping material
• Check local plumbing codes for specific installation requirements
• Confirm the need for a 90-degree angle in your layout

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or corrosion, especially in systems subject to frequent temperature fluctuations, to ensure long-term system integrity.
