1/2 inch ID Copper Refrig Long Radius 90 Degree Elbow Copper x Copper

1/2 inch Copper Long Radius 90° Elbow – Built for Precision and Flow Efficiency

The 1/2 inch Copper Long Radius 90° Elbow is engineered to provide a smooth change of direction in copper tubing systems while minimizing pressure drop and turbulence. Its extended radius supports improved hydraulic performance, making it the preferred choice in professional-grade installations where flow integrity matters.

This fitting is manufactured from high-grade, lead-free wrought copper, meeting stringent specifications for use in potable water systems, HVAC systems, and other pressurized applications. Designed for solder (sweat) connections, it ensures secure, permanent joints when properly installed using industry-standard joining techniques.

Key Features

• ✅ Long Radius Profile – Provides a more gradual directional change, reducing erosion and pressure loss in the system.
• ✅ Lead-Free Wrought Copper – Safe for potable water and compliant with U.S. plumbing codes including NSF/ANSI 61 and 372.
• ✅ Uniform Wall Thickness – Supports consistent heat transfer and high-pressure handling across various systems.
• ✅ Compatible with Type L and M Copper Tube – Ensures flexibility across standard piping specifications.
• ✅ Sweat Connection Ends – For use with soldered joints, allowing for leak-proof, permanent installation.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Lead-free wrought copper
• Size: 1/2 inch nominal tube size
• Connection Type: Cup x Cup (C x C)
• Standards: ASME B16.22 / NSF/ANSI 61 & 372
• Temperature & Pressure Rating: Up to 400 psi (depending on system design); suitable for service temperatures up to 400°F

Applications

Commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems, especially where lower flow resistance is desired. Typical applications include hot and cold potable water lines, hydronic heating, and chilled water distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Ensure proper cleaning, fluxing, and soldering procedures are followed according to copper joining best practices. Adequate spacing should be maintained to allow for joint inspection and thermal expansion. Use of a professional-grade torch and ASTM B813 water-soluble flux is recommended for optimal joint integrity.

Code Compliance

This fitting meets applicable national plumbing codes and lead-free mandates in all 50 states, making it a compliant and safe choice for public and private water systems.

The 1/2 inch Copper Long Radius 90° Elbow is a reliable solution when hydraulic efficiency and long-term durability are required. Specify this fitting to ensure your systems meet both performance standards and regulatory expectations.
