3/8 inch OD x 3/8 inch Brass Dishwasher 90 Degree Elbow Fitting x Hose

3/8 Inch OD x 3/8 Inch Brass 90° Elbow – Compression x MIP

The 3/8 inch OD x 3/8 inch brass 90-degree elbow is a compact transition fitting used to change direction in dishwasher water supply connections. It features a 3/8 inch outer-diameter compression inlet and a 3/8 inch male iron pipe (MIP) thread outlet. This configuration supports a secure connection between copper, plastic, or braided supply lines and threaded dishwasher inlets or shutoff valves.

Construction and Material Details

• ✅ Material: Lead-free brass (compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water use)
• ✅ Inlet Connection: 3/8 inch OD compression – accepts soft copper or braided supply tubing
• ✅ Outlet Connection: 3/8 inch MIP – threads into standard female threaded ports
• ✅ Elbow Configuration: 90° bend allows for tight turns without kinking supply lines or stressing threads

Installation Requirements

Install compression side by sliding the nut and ferrule over the tubing and securing it to the body with an appropriate torque. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male pipe thread to ensure a watertight joint. Over-tightening compression fittings can deform the ferrule or tubing—follow manufacturer torque specs when available. Designed for use in potable water applications only.

Common Applications

Frequently used in residential dishwasher installations where the supply line must turn 90 degrees to align with the appliance inlet. Also applicable in other confined locations requiring compact directional change between compression tubing and NPT threads.
