COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
System Integration
This blank elbow fitting is engineered specifically for Clack 5812 control valves used in residential and light commercial water treatment systems. The 1" NPT threading ensures secure, leak-free connections when configuring inlet or outlet plumbing during valve installation, system upgrades, or maintenance procedures. Compatible with backwashing water softeners and multi-media filters operating within the 0.6 to 35.0 GPM flow range, this component provides the flexibility needed for custom plumbing configurations where standard pre-drilled elbows do not meet site-specific requirements.
💧 When installing blank NPT elbows on control valves, use thread sealant tape rated for potable water applications and hand-tighten plus 1.5 turns to prevent over-torquing and ensure proper seal without damaging the valve body.
