No Lead Cast Brass FNPT Drop Ear Elbow
The use of Legend Valve’s Brass and CPVC Drop Ear Elbow fittings for the installation of Pot-Filler faucets is an
improper use of these fittings. Drop ear elbows are designed to be used when plumbing remains stationary and
fixed, usually at the termination of a water line.
Shower heads are a very typical application. Standard brass and CPVC drop ear elbows were never intended to
support movable objects such as pot filler arms, especially with the additional weight and cantilevered effect. A
typical shower head filled with water weighs less than 1lb and generally extends less than a foot, which imparts
less than 1 ft-lb of static load on the threaded portion of the drop ear. Conversely a pot filler can weigh up to 7 lbs
and extend 2-1/2 to 3 feet, loading the drop ear up to 21 ft-lb or more (20x’s its intended design). In addition the
dynamic nature of a pot filler arm being moved around a stove top imparts additional dynamic loads to the drop ear
that it was never designed for
Ratings:
Not for use in a pot filler application.
