Spears CPVC CTS Drop Ear 90° Elbow with Stainless Steel Thread Insert

Spears CPVC CTS Drop Ear 90° Elbow with Stainless Steel Thread Insert

The Spears CPVC CTS Drop Ear 90° Elbow is a purpose-built plumbing fitting engineered for securely anchoring fixture supply lines to wall framing. Constructed of CPVC in the CTS (Copper Tube Size) dimensional standard, this drop ear elbow features a reinforced stainless steel thread insert at the female pipe thread outlet, giving installers a durable, wear-resistant connection point that resists thread damage from repeated fixture hookups. The socket x stainless steel female pipe thread (SOCxSSFPT) configuration allows a solvent-weld connection on one end and a threaded connection on the other, making it a go-to fitting for showerheads, sillcocks, and other wall-mounted fixture drops in a 1/2" CTS size.
