This 1 in. Olet, Boss is made from 90/10 Copper Nickel with a Sil-braze connection with a 400 lb pressure rating.

An Olet describes a family of specialized pipe fittings - they are typically used to create a branch connection from larger to a smaller branch pipe runs. The Olet fitting is shaped to match the curvature of the main pipe run before joining to the smaller. Olets are differentiated from standard joining methods in that the component contains internal reinforcement - making it stronger and better suited for high-stress applications.

Sil-braze connections employ a brazing process using a silver-brasing alloy. Instead of threads, the pipe fits into a socket which has a channel cut into it. A brazing ring is inserted into the channel and the silver alloy is heated and melted into the gap. This creates a permanent bond between the fitting or valve and the pipe. Sil-Braze connections are exceptionally strong, leak-proof, and resistant to vibration.

Commonly abbreviated as 90/10 CuNi, 90/10 Copper-Nickel is a high-performance alloy comprised primarily of 90% Copper and 10% Nickel. This widely-used alloy provides an effective balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost effectiveness. 90/10 Copper-Nickel is a standard material for a variety of fluid systems that handle seawater - making it essential for marine applications.
