TDM Brass 200R Reduced Elbow 3/4" x 1/2" Female-Female Threaded Fitting

The TDM Brass 200R reduced elbow is a precision-engineered threaded fitting designed for reliable performance in plumbing and heating infrastructure. This component features a 3/4" to 1/2" female-to-female connection, enabling a secure 90-degree change in pipe direction while simultaneously transitioning between two different pipe diameters. Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting provides excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long service life in demanding water supply and heating network environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this reduced elbow is its dual functionality, which combines a directional change with a size reduction in a single, compact unit. This design reduces the number of necessary connections, thereby minimizing potential leak points and simplifying the installation process. The robust brass construction ensures high mechanical strength and thermal stability, making it suitable for both hot and cold water systems. Its precise threading allows for easy assembly and a tight, reliable seal when used with appropriate sealing materials.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial water supply systems
• Heating and cooling network installations
• Transitioning between different pipe sizes in plumbing layouts
• Creating 90-degree pipe bends in confined spaces

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with aggressive chemical substances or high-pressure steam systems that exceed the material's thermal and pressure ratings. It should not be used in applications where the pipe material is incompatible with brass, as this may lead to galvanic corrosion.

Key specifications

• Material: High-quality brass
• Connection type: Female-to-female threaded
• Size: 3/4" to 1/2" reduction
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Compatibility: Standard plumbing and heating pipe systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 200R reduced elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris. Apply a suitable thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant, to the male threads of the connecting pipes. Screw the fitting onto the pipes by hand until firm, then use an appropriate wrench to tighten it further, ensuring a secure and leak-proof connection. Avoid overtightening, as this may damage the threads or the fitting body.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread sizes of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility with the 3/4" and 1/2" specifications.
• Check the pressure and temperature requirements of your specific system.
• Ensure you have the necessary tools, such as pipe wrenches and sealing materials, for installation.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the fitting for any signs of damage before installation and perform a pressure test on the system after assembly to confirm that all connections are completely sealed.
