1” Copper 45° Elbow – For Directional Offsets in Copper Tube Systems

The 1” Copper 45 Degree Elbow is a wrought copper fitting used to change direction in copper piping systems by 45 degrees. Manufactured from lead-free, high-purity copper alloy, this elbow is suitable for potable water distribution, HVAC systems, and hydronic applications where directional offsets are required in limited space.

Compliant with ASME and ASTM standards, this fitting features sweat (cup) ends designed for soldered connections to Type L or Type M copper tubing. It is engineered to maintain internal flow efficiency while minimizing turbulence and joint stress during system operation.

Performance Attributes

• ✅ Precision-Formed Radius Ensures smooth directional change with minimal flow restriction.
• ✅ Lead-Free Alloy Composed of UNS C12200 copper, meeting NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 requirements for potable water systems.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance Suitable for long-term service in domestic water, hot water recirculation, and heating systems.
• ✅ Consistent Wall Thickness Maintains dimensional stability during soldering, preventing distortion or pinholes.
• ✅ Code-Compliant Geometry Manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.22 and ASTM B75 for seamless integration with copper piping networks.
• ✅ Efficient Installation Socket ends provide reliable seating depth for uniform heat transfer and filler alloy flow.

Typical Applications

The 1” copper 45° elbow is commonly used in both residential and commercial piping systems where space limitations or layout requirements prevent use of full-radius bends. Frequently installed in riser offsets, valve assemblies, and pipe runs routed through framing or mechanical rooms.

Regulatory Note

All fittings used in potable water systems must be lead-free per the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. This copper elbow complies with federal and state code requirements and is third-party listed for use in inspected installations.

Professional-Grade Fitting for Copper Installations

The 1” Copper 45 Degree Elbow delivers reliable directional control for soldered copper systems under varying temperature and pressure conditions. Its precision-formed body and dimensional accuracy make it a dependable component in high-integrity piping layouts.
