1-1/4 inch Copper 45° Elbow – Wrought Copper Fitting for Directional Flow Adjustments

The 1-1/4 inch Copper 45° Elbow is designed for use in soldered copper tube systems requiring directional changes with a gradual offset. This elbow facilitates flow direction adjustment while maintaining hydraulic efficiency in potable water, HVAC, and hydronic piping applications.

Manufactured from lead-free wrought copper material, this fitting meets applicable mechanical and sanitary codes for both residential and commercial installations. The 45° bend allows smoother transition angles compared to 90° elbows, minimizing pressure drop and turbulence in system flow.

Contractor-Grade Performance Features

• ✅ Formed from Wrought Copper Provides superior durability and resistance to dezincification and corrosion.
• ✅ Uniform Wall Thickness Promotes even heat transfer during soldering and ensures consistent sealing performance.
• ✅ Lead-Free Certification Meets NSF/ANSI 61 and complies with national lead-free plumbing regulations.
• ✅ Precision Socket Dimensions Allows for proper capillary action of solder, yielding strong and leak-resistant joints.

Installation Guidance

Ensure all tubing is properly cleaned, reamed, and dry-fitted before soldering. Apply an approved flux and heat uniformly to promote full solder penetration. Avoid overheating, which may compromise solder bond or material structure. This fitting is compatible with Type K, L, and M copper tubing.

Typical Applications

Used to alter the direction of flow in water distribution systems, mechanical equipment tie-ins, chilled water loops, and other copper-based pipe networks where a 45-degree deflection is required. Ideal for offsets that improve layout efficiency or avoid structural conflicts during rough-in.

The 1-1/4 inch Copper 45° Elbow supports code-compliant installation in fluid handling systems that demand reliability, efficiency, and dimensional accuracy. Engineered for performance and built to maintain joint integrity under fluctuating temperature and pressure conditions.
