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.
