Groco PTHC-5062 Bronze 90 Degree Elbow, 1/2 Inch NPT Pipe to 1/2-5/8 Inch ID Hose

The Groco PTHC-5062 is a bronze 90 degree elbow fitting that connects 1/2 inch NPT pipe threads to hose with an inside diameter of 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch. The 90 degree angle allows the fitting to turn a hose run through a tight corner without kinking the hose or adding a separate bend, which is useful in cramped bilge, thru-hull, and plumbing installations where space is limited. The pipe end threads directly into NPT-tapped fittings, valves, seacocks, or strainers, while the barbed hose end accepts hose in the 1/2 to 5/8 inch ID range and is secured with a standard hose clamp.

Bronze construction gives the fitting strong corrosion resistance in both saltwater and freshwater marine environments, making it suitable for below-the-waterline plumbing as well as general onboard hose runs. It ships as a single fitting.
