Product Description

The Brass Elbow FxF 10mm is a fitting used to connect two pieces of pipe or tubing at a 90-degree angle. It's commonly used in plumbing, gas, and other fluid systems for creating directional changes in the pipe layout.

Key Features of the Brass Elbow FxF 10mm:

Material: Brass:
- Made from brass, this elbow fitting is corrosion-resistant, durable, and able to withstand high-pressure conditions. Brass is ideal for both hot and cold water systems as well as gas lines, offering longevity and excellent resistance to wear and tear.
Design:
- The 90-degree angle allows you to change the direction of the pipe layout easily.
- The FxF designation indicates that both ends of the fitting have female threads (F), meaning you’ll need to connect this fitting to male-threaded pipe or other fittings with male threads.
Size: 10mm:
- The fitting is designed for use with 10mm diameter pipes, which is a common size in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The 10mm size is suitable for both water and gas systems, depending on the application.
Applications:
- Plumbing: Often used in water systems, such as hot and cold water connections, irrigation, and more.
- Gas Systems: Suitable for LPG and natural gas lines in certain applications.
- HVAC: Can be used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems where piping needs to change direction.
Durability:
- Brass is known for its high tensile strength and resistance to rust or corrosion. It makes the fitting long-lasting and reliable under a variety of environmental conditions.

Installation:

Turn Off Water or Gas Supply:
- Before installation, ensure the water supply or gas supply is turned off to avoid any accidents or leaks.
Thread Sealing:
- Use PTFE thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound on the male threads before screwing the elbow fitting into place to prevent leaks. This is especially important in gas systems.
Tightening:
- Hand-tighten the elbow fitting into place, and then use a pipe wrench to tighten it securely. Be cautious not to overtighten, as this could damage the threads or the fitting.
Leak Test:
- After installation, check the connections for leaks. For water systems, you can use a soapy water solution to check for leaks, and for gas systems, a leak detection fluid should be used. If leaks are found, turn off the supply, tighten the connections, and recheck.

Conclusion:

The Brass Elbow FxF 10mm is a versatile and durable fitting used for changing the direction of 10mm pipes in plumbing, gas, and HVAC systems. With its high resistance to corrosion and wear, it's a reliable choice for both residential and commercial installations. Proper installation and regular inspection will ensure long-lasting, leak-free performance.
