1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Copper Reducing 90° Elbow – For Directional Transitions in Copper Systems

The 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Copper Reducing 90° Elbow is designed to facilitate changes in direction while simultaneously transitioning between two pipe sizes within copper tube systems. Manufactured to precise tolerances, it supports reliable soldered joints and consistent hydraulic flow in both horizontal and vertical configurations.

Constructed from lead-free copper, this elbow complies with ANSI/NSF 61-G and Safe Drinking Water Act regulations, making it suitable for potable water systems, mechanical piping, and hydronic heating applications. The compact 90-degree design provides an efficient solution for installations in restricted or concealed spaces.

Performance Features

• ✅ Precision-Formed Copper Body – Enables consistent alignment and full socket engagement for secure solder joints.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance – Fabricated from certified copper for use in potable water systems in all jurisdictions.
• ✅ Reducing Configuration – Allows smooth transition from 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch tube sizes in tight layouts.
• ✅ 90° Elbow Geometry – Facilitates directional flow with minimal impact on system pressure and flow rate.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Construction – Suitable for long-term use in varied water chemistry environments.

Installation Notes

This fitting requires standard soldering practices for copper piping. Prepare the mating surfaces by reaming, cleaning, and applying approved flux. Uniform torch heat should be applied to ensure full capillary action. Post-installation, pressure testing is recommended in accordance with local plumbing codes. This elbow is not intended for use with threaded or compression fittings.

Common Applications

Used in potable water distribution lines, mechanical room piping layouts, and branch offsets where space constraints or routing geometry necessitate both a directional and size change. Common in wall cavities, floor chases, and near fixture tie-ins in residential and commercial installations.

Regulatory Compliance

Meets all U.S. requirements for lead-free copper fittings in potable water systems. Approved for use in all 50 states under current federal plumbing codes.

The 1-1/2 inch x 1-1/4 inch Copper Reducing 90° Elbow is a durable, code-compliant solution for directional transitions in copper systems. Its compact profile, consistent performance, and professional-grade construction make it a preferred fitting for contractors working in both new and retrofit applications.
