GROCO 1-1/2" NPT x 1-3/4" ID Bronze Full Flow 90° Elbow Pipe to Hose Fitting

The GROCO 1-1/2" NPT x 1-3/4" ID Bronze Full Flow 90° Elbow Pipe to Hose Fitting (model FFC-1500) is a heavy-duty marine and industrial plumbing component engineered for high-flow applications where pressure loss must be minimized. This bronze elbow fitting connects male NPT threaded pipe to hose barb configurations at a 90-degree angle, making it essential for deck washdown systems, seawater cooling loops, fuel transfer lines, and pressurized fluid distribution on vessels and equipment operating in demanding offshore and coastal environments.

Constructed from C83600 bronze—a marine-grade alloy specifically formulated for corrosion resistance in saltwater exposure—this fitting maintains structural integrity where standard steel would rapidly deteriorate. The full-flow design eliminates internal restrictions that create turbulence and pressure drop, critical for maintaining system efficiency in applications requiring consistent fluid velocity. At 1.55 lbs and rated to UL 647B standards, the fitting delivers the durability required for commercial maritime duty. The 1-1/2" NPT male thread accommodates standard pipe connections, while the 1-3/4" ID hose barb accepts reinforced hose tubing, allowing secure yet removable connections without welding or permanent installation.

This fitting is designed for non-potable water systems and industrial fluid transfer—specifically excluding potable water applications, as C83600 bronze does not comply with NSF-61 standards for drinking water safety. Operators managing commercial vessels, fishing platforms, equipment cooling systems, and industrial machinery rely on this elbow fitting for reliable, leak-free performance under continuous operational stress. Available in sizes from 1/2" through 3" across GROCO's product line, the FFC-1500 represents precision engineering for professionals who cannot afford system failures in remote or offshore settings.
