1-1/2 inch Copper DWV 45° Elbow – Wrot Copper Fitting for Drainage Applications

The 1-1/2 inch Copper DWV 45-Degree Elbow is a drainage fitting used to change direction in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. Manufactured from wrot copper conforming to ASTM B75 and ASTM B88, this fitting features a 45° bend with copper solder ends for joining copper tubing using lead-free soldering methods.

Designed in accordance with ASME B16.29, this elbow offers reliable performance in gravity flow systems and is typically used in non-pressurized applications where long service life and corrosion resistance are essential. Its smooth interior radius minimizes flow disruption and aids in maintaining proper system function.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Wrot copper (ASTM B75 Alloy C12200)
• Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch
• Connection Type: Cup x Cup (solder ends)
• Bend Angle: 45 degrees
• Application: Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) piping systems
• Standard Compliance: ASME B16.29, NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 (lead-free)

Application Areas

This fitting is commonly used in horizontal and vertical DWV piping to change direction between main lines and branch lines. It is suitable for use in:

• ✅ Residential and commercial DWV systems
• ✅ Vent stacks and sanitary drainage runs
• ✅ Areas with spatial constraints such as wall cavities or crawl spaces

Installation Notes

Install using lead-free solder and compatible flux in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Ensure proper surface preparation by cleaning and fluxing both the fitting and pipe before soldering. Heating should be applied evenly to achieve a strong capillary bond between the pipe and fitting. This component is intended for non-pressurized systems only and should not be used in potable water supply lines under pressure.

Performance Features

• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant: Copper composition offers excellent resistance to acidic waste and moisture exposure
• ✅ Code Compliant: Conforms to current U.S. lead-free requirements for DWV applications
• ✅ Low Turbulence: Smooth bore design supports consistent flow characteristics
• ✅ Reliable Jointing: Compatible with lead-free solder alloys approved for copper DWV installations

Regulatory Compliance

This fitting meets national standards for use in non-pressurized DWV systems and complies with the Safe Drinking Water Act (lead-free copper content). Always verify compatibility with applicable plumbing codes and project specifications.

The 1-1/2 inch Copper DWV 45° Elbow is a durable and code-compliant solution for changing direction in gravity drainage and venting systems. Its high-quality construction and dimensional accuracy make it a reliable component for professional-grade installations.
