Boshart FBR103-2 No-Lead Brass 90° Street Elbow, 1/8" Threaded
The Boshart FBR103-2 is a 1/8" no-lead brass 90° street elbow built for rough-in plumbing and small-bore threaded pipe connections where a compact directional change is required. Its street configuration – one male threaded end and one female threaded end – lets it thread directly into a fitting or valve without the need for an additional nipple, saving space in tight installations. Manufactured from brass, the FBR103-2 offers strong corrosion resistance and long service life in potable water and general plumbing applications. As a no-lead fitting, it is formulated for use in systems where low-lead brass alloy compliance is required for water-contact components.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1/8" nominal pipe size, suited for small-diameter threaded plumbing runs.
- Durable Construction: Solid brass body for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in rough-in plumbing systems.
- 90° Street Configuration: One male and one female threaded end allows the elbow to connect directly to another fitting or valve without an extra nipple, reducing joint count and simplifying tight-space installations.
- No-Lead Formulation: Manufactured as a no-lead brass fitting for use where low-lead alloy components are specified.
- Threaded Connection: Standard pipe threads allow the elbow to mate directly with compatible threaded brass, iron, or plastic fittings common in rough-in plumbing work.
- Compact Design: Small 1/8" street elbow footprint fits into confined spaces behind walls, under fixtures, or within manifold and gauge assemblies.

Boshart FBR103-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does "street" mean on the Boshart FBR103-2 elbow, and how is it different from a regular 90 degree elbow?
A street elbow has one male threaded end and one female threaded end, where a standard elbow has two female ends. On the Boshart FBR103-2, that lets the male end thread straight into a valve port or another fitting without a short nipple in between, so you lose a joint and save length. If you need to join two lengths of male-threaded pipe instead, you want a female x female 90, not a street.
2) Will a 1/8 inch brass street elbow thread onto a pressure gauge port?
Yes, provided the port is 1/8 inch pipe thread. The FBR103-2 is a 1/8 inch nominal threaded fitting, and its male end threads into a gauge, manifold, or valve tapping while the female end takes the incoming pipe or a gauge stem. That male-into-port arrangement is exactly what gauge and manifold assemblies use it for.
3) Is the Boshart FBR103-2 safe for potable water lines?
It is a no-lead brass fitting, formulated for water-contact components in systems where low-lead alloy is specified, and Boshart lists it for potable water and general plumbing. For a municipal or institutional job that requires documented alloy compliance, order by the no-lead designation so you do not end up with older yellow brass stock.
4) Can I thread a 1/8 inch brass street elbow into galvanized iron or plastic threaded fittings?
Yes. The FBR103-2 uses standard pipe threads and mates with compatible threaded brass, iron, or plastic fittings used in rough-in work. Use the right sealant for the pairing and do not overtighten the brass into a plastic female thread, since the plastic is the weaker part of that joint.
5) Is a 1/8 inch street elbow the right choice for tight space behind a wall or under a fixture?
That is what it is meant for. Combining the male and female ends in one body drops the nipple out of the assembly, so the turn takes up less depth behind a wall, under a fixture, or inside a manifold. Fewer joints also means fewer places to leak on a concealed connection.
6) Do I need brass rather than steel for a small 90 degree turn on a water line?
Brass is the usual pick on water-contact fittings for corrosion resistance and service life, which is why the FBR103-2 is a solid brass body. Steel and galvanized fittings corrode faster in wet service, and on a 1/8 inch line internal corrosion closes the bore off quickly.
