MADE IN AMERICA. The Water Armor® 1/2″ lead-free* female threaded 90° F1960 expansion PEX drop ears are made from ECO BRASS® alloy and are ideal for your plumbing projects. Water Armor products can be used for both commercial and residential plumbing installations, and our female threaded drop ears are available in bulk and wholesale orders. The F1960 drop ear is best used for plumbing projects that require a transition from PEX tubing to a female thread, like shower heads, tub spouts, and supply stub outs. The drop ear is composed of a F1960 expansion PEX end, FNPT threads, and three mounting ears for the fitting to be secured to a wall using screws. Our lead-free* ECO BRASS® and ECO BRONZE® alloys provide outstanding dezincification resistance and are safe to use for potable water applications in all 50 states, including California.
