1/2 inch Copper 90 Degree Street Elbow Copper x Fitting (Pack of 25)

1/2 inch Copper 90° Street Elbow – Copper x Copper Fitting, Lead-Free (Pack of 25)

The 1/2 inch copper 90-degree street elbow is used to create tight directional transitions in copper piping systems, where one end fits over a copper tube and the other fits into a fitting. This configuration is particularly useful in confined or offset installations and reduces the number of required fittings in compact layouts.

Field-Ready Performance

This street elbow is manufactured from wrought copper and designed to meet the demands of both residential and light commercial hydronic and potable water systems. Its precise tolerances and lead-free composition ensure compliance and long-term mechanical stability. Key performance attributes include:

• ✅ Street Elbow Configuration One male and one female sweat (solder) connection allows for direct offset alignment without coupling.
• ✅ Wrought Copper Construction Seamless body manufactured to ASTM B75 or B88 standards, depending on specification.
• ✅ Corrosion and Scale Resistance Copper is naturally resistant to corrosion and internal buildup, ensuring consistent flow rates.
• ✅ Lead-Free Certification Compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for use in potable water systems under current federal and state codes.
• ✅ Factory Pack Quantity Supplied in packs of 25 for efficient stocking and jobsite deployment.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Copper
• Connection Type: Street (Male Sweat x Female Sweat)
• Nominal Size: 1/2 inch
• Quantity per Pack: 25

Installation Guidelines

Prepare copper tubing with appropriate cutting and deburring tools. Use lead-free solder and flux for sweat connections. Maintain proper joint spacing and follow local plumbing code requirements for soldering practices. Ensure a clean, dry surface and allow joints to cool naturally before pressure testing.

Application Use Cases

This fitting is used to redirect pipe runs at 90 degrees in potable water lines, HVAC supply/return piping, and other copper distribution systems. The street elbow design allows for a shorter center-to-end dimension compared to standard elbows, making it ideal for installations in wall cavities, utility chases, or equipment closets.

Regulatory Insight

All copper fittings used in drinking water systems must meet lead-free requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This elbow conforms to those standards and is certified for use in inspected systems nationwide.

The 1/2 inch copper 90° street elbow offers a compact, code-compliant solution for directional changes in soldered copper piping systems. Its design supports efficient layout planning and consistent performance in both new construction and retrofit applications.
