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

The GROCO 1-1/4" NPT x 1-1/2" ID Bronze Full Flow 90° Elbow Pipe to Hose Fitting (Model FFC-1250) is a precision marine and industrial plumbing component designed for high-volume fluid transfer applications. This male NPT to hose barb elbow fitting delivers unrestricted flow rates without pressure reduction, making it essential for systems requiring consistent delivery across demanding environments.

Constructed from C83600 bronze—a copper-tin alloy selected for superior corrosion resistance in saltwater and chemically aggressive conditions—this fitting maintains structural integrity and dimensional stability across temperature fluctuations. The 1-1/4" NPT (National Pipe Thread) connection threads directly into manifolds, pumps, and engine blocks, while the 1-1/2" ID hose barb accepts standard marine-grade hose with a secure compression fit. Full-flow design eliminates the pressure loss typical of standard 90° elbows, preserving system efficiency in high-demand applications. UL Listed to standard 647B, confirming compliance with electrical safety requirements for marine and stationary engine systems.

This fitting is purpose-built for marine engine cooling systems, offshore equipment plumbing, industrial hydraulic installations, and saltwater pump applications where standard brass or steel fittings corrode rapidly. It accommodates systems ranging from 1/2" to 3" across GROCO's bronze fitting line, enabling builders to standardize on bronze throughout mixed-size manifold designs. The 90° angle configuration solves space constraints in engine compartments and cramped installation zones where straight runs are impractical. Note that C83600 bronze is not NSF-61 certified and therefore unsuitable for potable drinking water systems.
