1/2 inchI ID Copper Refrig Long Radius Street 90 Degree Elbow Copper x Fitting

1/2” Copper Long Radius Street 90° Elbow – Optimized for Professional Installations

The 1/2” Copper Long Radius Street 90-Degree Elbow is engineered for precision where space constraints and directional changes demand smooth transitions. Its long-radius bend reduces flow resistance and minimizes pressure loss, making it ideal for maintaining efficient hydraulic performance in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This elbow features a street connection—one end with a male (street) and the other with a female sweat connection—allowing it to mate directly with another fitting. It is manufactured from lead-free wrought copper to comply with potable water standards and is suitable for use in pressure applications involving hot or cold water distribution.

Performance Highlights

• ✅ Formed from Type L Copper Delivers reliable strength and corrosion resistance in potable water systems.
• ✅ Long-Radius Profile Enables smoother flow with reduced turbulence and wear in high-velocity systems.
• ✅ Street End Configuration Allows direct connection to other fittings without added couplings.
• ✅ Sweat Connection Ends Designed for soldering to copper tubing for a secure, leak-resistant joint.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Lead-free wrought copper
• Nominal Size: 1/2 inch
• Bend Radius: Long radius (per ASME B16.22)
• Connection Type: Female sweat x street (male sweat)
• Certifications: NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 compliant for potable water use

Typical Applications

This elbow is used where directional changes are needed in copper piping systems—commonly in water heater connections, under-sink installations, and wall cavities where tight clearances restrict the use of standard elbows. It is compatible with soft and hard drawn copper tubing.

Code Compliance Note

Federal and local plumbing codes mandate the use of lead-free components in potable water systems. This elbow meets these requirements, making it a code-compliant solution for both new builds and upgrades.

Professionals rely on fittings like the 1/2” Copper Long Radius Street 90° Elbow to achieve long-lasting, efficient results without unnecessary rework. Ensure your next project meets performance and code standards with this precision-crafted component.
