The Forespar 901006 is a 90-degree female elbow fitting designed to connect threaded pipe to flexible hose in marine plumbing systems.

Key Features:

• Molded from high-strength glass-reinforced Marelon polymer for superior durability
• Zero corrosion and zero electrolysis—eliminates common metal fitting failures
• NPSM parallel (straight) thread form requires thread sealant tape or compound
• UV stabilized and freeze-resistant for reliable performance in harsh marine environments
• Suitable for above-waterline and below-waterline installations
• UL and ABYC approved for dependable marine performance
• Lightweight yet high-strength construction
• Compatible with metal marine valves and fittings with NP parallel threads

Marelon fittings can be installed using the same techniques and materials as bronze fittings, including Teflon tape or marine-grade sealant. The proprietary Marelon composite material delivers the strength you need without the weight, corrosion, or electrolysis issues associated with traditional metal fittings. All elbows sold in the U.S.A. feature straight pipe threads for consistent compatibility.
