A.Y. McDonald 5122-195 3/4" Eighth Bend FFLR Swivel x CTS Elbow, Lead-Free

The A.Y. McDonald 5122-195, also identified by manufacturer part number 74750S-22, is a 3/4" eighth bend (22.5°) fitting engineered with a female flare (FFLR) swivel connection on one end and a CTS (Copper Tube Size) connection on the other. This configuration is designed to simplify water service and distribution line installations where a gentle directional change is required without the need for pipe cutting or reforming. The swivel FFLR end allows for easy alignment and tightening in the field, reducing installation time and stress on the joint during assembly. Marked NL for lead-free compliance, this fitting is manufactured to meet the low-lead requirements used in potable water applications. A.Y. McDonald is a long-established name in waterworks and plumbing fittings, and the 5122-195 eighth bend is built to deliver a dependable, leak-resistant transition point in copper tube size piping systems. Contractors and utility crews rely on fittings like this to make smooth, gradual directional transitions in underground and above-ground copper tube runs while maintaining a secure, code-compliant connection at the swivel joint.
