TDM Brass 703/212LN Elbow 1/2" Male-Male Threaded Fitting

The TDM Brass 703/212LN is a high-quality threaded elbow fitting engineered for secure and reliable pipe connections within plumbing and heating systems. This component features a 1/2" male-to-male thread configuration, allowing for precise directional changes in piping layouts while maintaining structural integrity. Crafted from durable brass, this fitting is designed to withstand the rigors of daily operation in both residential and industrial water supply networks, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this brass elbow is its robust construction, which offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The precision-machined threads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal when installed correctly, minimizing the risk of water damage or pressure loss. Its compact design allows for installation in tight spaces where standard fittings might be difficult to maneuver, providing versatility for various plumbing configurations.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Heating and cooling circuit installations
• Industrial piping networks
• Connecting two female-threaded components at a 90-degree angle

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with pipes that require a different thread size or diameter, as attempting to force a connection will damage the threads. It is also not suitable for high-pressure steam applications or environments involving highly corrosive chemicals that may degrade brass over time.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 1/2" Male to 1/2" Male
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Application: Plumbing and heating systems

How to use

To install the TDM Brass 703/212LN, 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 to ensure a watertight connection. Thread the fitting into the corresponding female components by hand until firm, then use a suitable wrench to tighten it further, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the fitting body.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your existing pipes matches the 1/2" specification.
• Ensure the installation space allows for the 90-degree turn.
• Check compatibility with the pipe material to prevent galvanic corrosion.

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 joints are completely sealed and leak-free.
