The 1/2 in. Polypropylene Compression Elbow is a polypropylene compression 90° elbow fitting that redirects a tubing or hose run without requiring tube bending. Polypropylene construction provides strong chemical resistance for acids, bases, and chlorinated water service where brass would corrode or leach.
