WATTS ANKA REINFORCED NYLON MALE ELBOW - 3/4"Turn 90 degrees from a male NPT threaded port into 3/4" ID polyethylene pipe, braided vinyl tubing, garden hose, or washdown line - no extra fittings needed. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon body with a 3/4" male NPT one end and an ANKA captive blue compression nut on the other is the signature of the Watts ANKA agricultural fittings line: approved for potable water, non-corrosive in fertilizer and chlorinated lines, and rated 230 PSI at 140 deg F.
- Barb x 3/4" male NPT 90-degree elbow for ID-sized PE pipe, tube, or hose
- Fiberglass-reinforced nylon - non-corrosive in fertilizer, chlorine, and saltwater
- Captive blue compression nut hand-tightens on the barb end; no clamps or tools needed
- UV stabilized for above-ground service; approved for potable water
- Max 230 PSI at 140 deg F; reusable after disassembly
- Double-barbed insert accommodates a range of PE wall thicknesses
The 3/4" male elbow is the workhorse residential size: turns the corner out of a standard hose-bib into a 3/4" PE run, transitions a sprinkler-manifold port to a 3/4" lateral, makes the bend off a pump discharge to a contractor washdown hose, and routes a 3/4" PE feeder out of a backflow preventer or pressure regulator into the start of a yard irrigation main.
Tip: Apply 2-3 wraps of PTFE thread tape to the male NPT threads - no pipe dope, which can soften the nylon over time. Push the PE pipe fully past both barb shoulders before snugging the blue nut; a partial insertion will weep at 230 PSI even if the nut feels tight.
