Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the elbow made of?

A.

• The union elbow is made from brass (an alloy of copper and zinc), which offers excellent strength & corrosion resistance from water, heat, acids, minerals & peaty soils. This material is ideal for a potable water piping system.
• It is nickel-plated to provide excellent corrosion inhibition and improve solderability, hardness & wearability. The plating reduces friction and improves paint adhesion. It can also add brightness, lustre and appeal to the object.

Q. What is the purpose of thread sealant in a union elbow?

A. This unit features NBR70 (Nitrile BUNA-N 70 durometer), a type of thread sealant that allows leak-proof sealing at temperatures up to 250 degrees F. This sealant is resistant to water, petroleum-based fuels and lubricants.
