The B & K 440-030NL drop ear pipe elbow is a forged brass fitting designed to transition from metal male pipe threads to CPVC pipe systems. This elbow features a female iron pipe (FIP) connection on one end and a solvent-weld (slip) connection on the other, making it ideal for bridging between threaded metal and CPVC without requiring additional adapters.
Drop ear elbows are commonly used in plumbing applications where rigid wall mounting is needed, such as shower arm installations and washer hose valve connections. The drop ear design allows the fitting to be mounted to the wall for a rigid installation.
