1 inch Copper Street 45 Degree Elbow Copper x Fitting

1 inch Copper Street 45° Elbow – Lead-Free, Sweat x Cup, DWV/Pressure Rated

The 1 inch Copper Street 45-Degree Elbow is a precision-formed fitting used to change direction in copper tube piping systems at a 45° offset. Designed with a sweat (male) end and a cup (female) end, this fitting allows for direct transitions without requiring an additional coupling, reducing material use and simplifying installation in compact or confined routing paths.

Manufactured from lead-free wrought copper per ASTM B75 alloy C12200, this elbow is suitable for potable water, hydronic heating, and DWV applications. It complies with ANSI/ASME B16.22 specifications and is certified under NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for use in drinking water systems.

Installation Notes

Install using lead-free solder and approved flux according to local code. Ensure pipe ends and fitting sockets are cleaned and deburred prior to assembly. Proper heat application is critical for achieving full capillary fill and joint strength. For optimal long-term performance, follow ANSI/ASME installation standards for copper soldered fittings.

Common Applications

This elbow is frequently installed in copper supply and return lines for domestic hot and cold water systems, mechanical piping layouts, and drain-waste-vent configurations where a smooth directional offset is required. Its street-end design makes it ideal for reducing joint count in tight manifolds or vertical stack transitions.

Code Compliance

All lead-free copper fittings must comply with the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. This product is third-party certified and code-compliant in all jurisdictions requiring lead-free components for potable systems.

The 1 inch Copper Street 45° Elbow is engineered to meet demanding jobsite conditions, ensuring clean, permanent transitions between piping segments with minimal risk of leakage or failure. Specify for commercial and residential builds where performance and compliance are non-negotiable.
