Hello Folks,
Recently, I replaced the water valves for my washing machine supply lines with hose bibs (the type that most people use outside for a garden hose). The thread is a perfect match and the bib’s angle is a good fit for my situation.
Also, instead of a brass “90deg ear cup x F elbow” like the following:
Everbilt 1/2 in. Bronze Silicon Alloy Lead-Free Pressure 90-Degree Drop Ear Cup X F Elbow C70735LFHD12 - The Home Depot
I simply soldered the hose bib directly to a 90deg copper elbow, as shown below:

It is all perfectly functional but was wondering if there is any issue with this setup in terms of code or otherwise. Thanks for any insight.
