Male/Female Brass Elbow

Male/Female Brass Elbow Ezfitt (Reference: 2092) represents the professional solution for all your right-angle connection needs in general plumbing. This forged and precision-machined fitting guarantees perfect sealing and exceptional longevity in all your hydraulic, pneumatic or gas installations.

Applications and use cases for the brass elbow

This Male/Female Brass Elbow is suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers across a wide range of applications. In domestic installations, it allows you to route around obstacles in cold and hot water networks, create branches in bathrooms or kitchens, and adapt central heating circuits.

For industrial applications, this fitting is perfectly suited to workshop compressed air networks, food processing installations, machine tool hydraulic circuits and technical fluid distribution networks. Building professionals also use it for air conditioning installations, automatic irrigation networks and fire safety systems.

Technical specifications and manufacturing quality

The CW617N brass used for this elbow offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical attack. Its forged and machined manufacturing guarantees a homogeneous metal structure, free of porosity, capable of withstanding the most severe mechanical stresses.

The G ISO 228-1 gas thread (BSPP) strictly complies with European standards to ensure perfect compatibility with all standard pipework elements. This standardisation guarantees a safe and durable assembly, with no risk of deformation or stripping under pressure. The nominal pressure of 10 bars allows safe use in most common domestic and industrial applications.

The surface finish of the fitting, obtained by precision turning, provides a professional appearance and facilitates manual or wrench tightening. The 90-degree angle is machined to minimal tolerance to guarantee perfect positioning in constrained installations.

Installation, use and best practices

Installing this Male/Female elbow requires adherence to a few fundamental rules to ensure the sealing and longevity of the assembly. Before tightening, check the condition of the threads and clean them carefully to remove any chips or impurities.

For sealing, several solutions are available depending on the application: PTFE tape for cold water and compressed air connections, NBR elastomer seal for hydraulic applications, fibre gasket for high temperatures, or anaerobic adhesive for permanent assemblies. Apply the sealant evenly over 3 to 4 threads of the male fitting.

Tightening should be progressive and controlled: hand-tighten until contact, then 2 to 3 additional turns with a wrench depending on the diameter. Avoid over-tightening which could damage the threads or deform the fitting. For temporary installations, plan for easy disassembly using a penetrating oil if necessary.

Expert tips and installation optimisation

Experienced professionals recommend always allowing a slight angular play during final positioning to facilitate future interventions. In installations subject to vibration, adding a medium-strength thread-locking compound prevents inadvertent loosening.

To optimise your installation, combine this elbow with the straight fittings, tees and reducers from the Ezfitt range which share the same manufacturing quality and standardisation. Brass ball valves integrate perfectly to create manually operated circuits.

Be aware of common mistakes: never use a flat gasket on a tapered thread, avoid mixing different metals which promotes galvanic corrosion, and always respect the maximum operating temperatures according to the type of sealant chosen. In winter, protect outdoor installations from frost with appropriate insulation.

Product synergies with our range of PEX, multilayer or copper pipes allow the creation of high-performance mixed installations by combining the robustness of brass fittings with the ease of installation of modern pipes.
