TDM Brass 210R Reduced Elbow 3/4" x 1/2" Female to Male Threaded Fitting

The TDM Brass 210R reduced elbow is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered for seamless transitions between pipes of varying diameters. Designed with a 90-degree angle, this component facilitates efficient routing in water supply and heating systems. Its construction from high-quality brass ensures long-term durability and consistent performance in demanding environments.

Advantages

This reduced elbow offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of plumbing systems over time. The precision-machined threads provide a secure and leak-proof connection, reducing the risk of water damage. Its compact design allows for installation in tight spaces where a change in pipe size and direction is required simultaneously.

Suitable for

• Connecting pipes of different diameters in residential water supply systems
• Adapting heating system pipework at 90-degree angles
• Professional plumbing installations requiring reliable threaded transitions

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with gas supply lines or high-pressure industrial steam systems. It should also be avoided in environments where the chemical composition of the fluid could cause dezincification of the brass material.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 3/4 inch female thread to 1/2 inch male thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 210R reduced elbow, ensure 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 to ensure a watertight seal. Screw the fitting onto the pipes by hand until firm, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it further, taking care not to overtighten and damage the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread sizes of your existing pipes to ensure compatibility with the 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch connections
• Check the local plumbing codes to ensure brass fittings are approved for your specific installation type
• Ensure you have the necessary tools, such as pipe wrenches, for a secure installation

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection for signs of moisture or leaks after the initial installation and during routine maintenance of your plumbing system to ensure continued performance.
