Sioux Chief 647WG2E3 No-Lead Brass 3-Ear Drop Ear Elbow, 1/2" FIP x 1/2" F1960 PEX

The Sioux Chief 647WG2E3 is a one-piece no lead brass drop ear elbow built for behind-the-wall rough-in work on shower risers and tub spout stub-outs. One end is 1/2" FIP (female iron pipe thread) for connecting the shower arm or spout nipple, and the other end is 1/2" F1960 for PEX expansion connections, letting a plumber transition directly from a PEX supply run to a threaded fixture connection at the wall. The integral 3-ear mounting flange gets screwed or nailed to the framing or blocking so the fitting stays rigid during drywall and tile work, keeping the threaded outlet aligned for the finish fixture. Sioux Chief notes this fitting is intended for shower risers, tub spouts, and other non-pressure fitting applications, not as a general pressure-rated supply fitting.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 1/2" FIP x 1/2" F1960 for shower riser and tub spout stub-outs.
  • Durable Construction: One-piece no lead brass body for a rigid, corrosion-resistant rough-in connection.
  • PEX Connection: F1960 expansion-style end accepts 1/2" PEX tubing for direct transition from supply line to threaded fixture outlet.
  • Threaded Outlet: 1/2" FIP end threads onto a shower arm nipple or tub spout shank.
  • 3-Ear Mounting Flange: Integral ears allow the fitting to be nailed or screwed to framing/blocking so it stays anchored and square through rough-in, insulation, and wall finishing.
  • Application-Specific Design: Manufacturer-noted use on shower risers, tub spouts, and other non-pressure fitting applications.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds this drop ear elbow from one-piece no lead brass, giving installers a solid, securely mountable fitting for the shower and tub rough-in connections that have to hold their position through framing, insulation, and finish work. The 3-ear design and F1960 PEX end make it a practical choice for plumbers transitioning from PEX supply lines to threaded shower and tub fixtures, manufactured and sourced from the United States.

Sioux Chief 647WG2E3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the 647WG2E3 elbow on a pressurized water supply line?
No. Sioux Chief calls out this drop ear elbow for shower risers, tub spouts, and other non-pressure fitting applications. Use it as the stub-out that the shower arm or tub spout nipple threads into, not as a general pressure-rated supply fitting inside the wall.
2) What threads onto the FIP end of this drop ear elbow?
The 1/2 inch FIP (female iron pipe) outlet takes a 1/2 inch male-threaded shower arm or a tub spout nipple/shank. Nothing is included with the elbow, so the arm, nipple, and the fasteners for the mounting ears are separate.
3) How does a 3-ear drop ear elbow mount in the wall compared to a 2-ear?
The 647WG2E3 has an integral three-ear flange that gets nailed or screwed to framing or blocking, giving three fastening points instead of two. Extra point means less chance of the fitting rotating or drifting out of square while drywall and tile go on, which keeps the threaded outlet aligned for the finish trim.
4) Is this Sioux Chief elbow lead free for potable water?
The body is one-piece no-lead brass, which is what a jurisdiction asking for lead-free wetted-surface fittings on potable lines is looking for. It is also made in the United States, which matters on Buy American and government or institutional specs.
5) Is the 647WG2E3 a 90 degree elbow?
Yes, it turns 90 degrees, which is what puts the PEX supply coming up or across the stud bay into a threaded outlet pointing straight out of the wall for the shower arm or tub spout.
6) How is the Sioux Chief 647WG2E3 drop ear elbow packaged for a multi-unit job?
It ships 50 each per case, which is the practical buy for a multi-family or hotel rough-in where every bath needs one at the shower riser and often another at the tub spout.
