Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass Compression Pipe Elbow Fitting

Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass Compression Pipe Elbow Fitting

The Midwest Fasteners Solid Brass Compression Pipe Elbow Fitting gives plumbers and maintenance techs a reliable way to change direction on a compression line without soldering or threading new pipe. Machined from solid brass for corrosion resistance and long service life, this elbow uses a compression connection on the tubing end for fast, tool-only assembly, paired with a male or female iron pipe (MIP/FIP) thread on the other end for direct connection into threaded fittings, valves, or fixture supply ports. This family is available across a full size range, from 1/4" OD x 1/8MIP/FIP up through 5/8" OD x 1/2MIP/FIP, so you can match the exact tubing-to-thread combination a repair calls for. Because it is brass rather than plastic or steel, it resists the corrosion that plagues water-line connections over time while still allowing the fitting to be disassembled and reused if a line needs rework. Each elbow is sold individually, dropping straight into a single repair without forcing a bulk box purchase.

Key Features

• Size Range: Spans 1/4" OD x 1/8MIP/FIP up through 5/8" OD x 1/2MIP/FIP, matching standard compression tubing on one end and iron pipe thread on the other.
• Material: Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability in wet, humid plumbing environments.
• Connection Type: Compression fitting on the tubing side allows tool-free, solder-free assembly and easy future disassembly.
• Fitting Style: Elbow configuration changes line direction without cutting in additional pipe sections.
• Thread Options: Offered in both male iron pipe (MIP) and female iron pipe (FIP) thread configurations depending on the size selected.
• Package: Each elbow is sold individually, so it drops straight into a single repair or rework job.

Typical Applications

• Repairing or rerouting compression-connected water supply lines under sinks and at fixture shutoffs.

• Changing direction on a compression line run without soldering or additional pipe sections.
• General maintenance and replacement work on residential or light commercial plumbing systems.

Why Midwest Fasteners?

Midwest Fasteners builds this elbow family from solid brass across a full span of compression and MIP/FIP sizes so it matches common tubing and thread connections without surprises at install. The compression connection design lets a technician make or break the joint with hand tools, keeping repairs fast and repeatable across jobs. Choosing a brass fitting over a plastic alternative gives maintenance teams and plumbers a part built for long-term exposure to water and varying temperatures on the line, whether the work is a single under-sink repair or ongoing maintenance across many fixtures.
