GROCO 1-1/4" NPT x 1-1/4" ID Bronze 90 Degree Pipe to Hose Fitting Standard Flow Elbow

The GROCO 1-1/4" NPT x 1-1/4" ID Bronze 90 Degree Pipe to Hose Fitting Standard Flow Elbow is a marine-grade connector engineered for fluid transfer systems in demanding offshore and freshwater environments. This bronze 90-degree elbow joins male NPT pipe threads to hose ID connections, making it an essential component in saltwater cooling systems, fuel transfer lines, and bilge applications where corrosion resistance is non-negotiable. Cast from C83600 bronze—an alloy specifically formulated to withstand prolonged exposure to salt air and seawater—this fitting delivers years of reliable service without the maintenance burden of steel alternatives.

The 1-1/4" port sizing accommodates standard flow rates across larger marine systems, while the 90-degree configuration optimizes space in tight engine compartments and below-deck installations. UL Listed to standard 647B, this fitting meets recognized safety and performance criteria for marine applications. The C83600 bronze composition provides superior corrosion resistance compared to brass alternatives, particularly critical in salt environments where dezincification and galvanic attack shorten component life. This particular size bridges the gap between residential-scale hose fittings and commercial marine hardware, making it suitable for both auxiliary cooling loops and primary through-hull water systems on vessels 25 feet and larger.

Marine mechanics, boat builders, and offshore equipment technicians rely on GROCO bronze fittings when standard plumbing brass won't survive the job. This elbow is ideal for replacing corroded fittings in existing systems or building new custom installations where long-term reliability justifies the investment in premium materials. Important: C83600 bronze is not NSF-61 certified and is not approved for potable water systems; it is engineered exclusively for non-drinking-water applications including cooling systems, fuel transfer, and seawater handling.
