Rock-solid fixtures. Zero wobble. Secure mount.
Provide the structural backbone your luxury fixtures deserve with this heavy-duty Brass Drop Ear Elbow. Essential for any bathroom renovation, this 90-degree adapter features integrated mounting ears that screw directly into wood blocking, creating a rigid, wobble-free anchor point for shower arms, tub spouts, and washing machine valves. Forged from Lead-Free DZR Brass, it transitions seamlessly from your hidden PEX supply lines to a standard Female Pipe Thread (FPT) outlet, ensuring your finish plumbing is as secure as it is beautiful.
Features
- Secure Wall Mounting: Features three sturdy "mounting ears" with screw holes, allowing you to fasten the fitting securely to a wood brace or stud. This prevents shower heads and tub spouts from rattling or moving.
- Shower & Tub Essential: The industry-standard fitting for transitioning from a flexible PEX supply line inside the wall to a rigid chrome shower arm or tub nipple outside the wall.
- F1807 Crimp Connection: The inlet features a precision-machined ASTM F1807 PEX barb, compatible with copper crimp rings and stainless steel pinch clamps for a permanent seal.
- Universal Threaded Outlet: Equipped with Female Pipe Threads (FPT/FIP) to accept standard threaded nipples, valves, and fixture arms.
- Lead-Free Durability: Forged from Lead-Free DZR Brass, meeting all safety standards for potable water and resisting stress corrosion cracking in concealed spaces.
