1 inch ID Copper Refrig Copper Long Radius Street 90 Degree Elbow Copper x Fitting

Professional-Grade 1 inch ID Copper Long Radius Street 90° Elbow for Smoother Piping Transitions

This 1 Inch ID Copper Long Radius Street 90 Degree Elbow is engineered for integration into pressurized copper piping systems where precise directional changes are required. Its long-radius profile minimizes velocity reduction and reduces stress at directional changes, optimizing hydraulic performance.

Manufactured from high-grade copper and designed to industry specifications, this fitting delivers consistent joint integrity and corrosion resistance. Ideal for contractors installing systems that demand longevity, performance, and code compliance.

Contractor Advantages

• ✅ Engineered Radius Geometry: Provides smoother flow characteristics and reduces head loss compared to short-radius configurations.
• ✅ Street End Configuration: One male and one female sweat connection allows for tight spacing and cleaner transitions without additional couplings.
• ✅ High-Grade Copper Alloy: Delivers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, suitable for potable water and HVAC lines.
• ✅ Spec-Driven Versatility: Frequently used in multi-family, institutional, and commercial-grade plumbing systems.

Technical Details

• Nominal Size: 1 inch ID
• Material: Copper (lead-free alloy compliant with potable water codes)
• Connection: Sweat x Street Sweat
• Standard Compliance: Meets applicable ASTM and NSF/ANSI standards

Installation Considerations

Designed for sweat (soldered) installation in copper piping systems. Proper surface preparation and flux application are critical for joint performance. Heating should be done evenly to ensure solder flow throughout the fitting. Always verify system shut-off and test for leaks following pressurization. Use of this fitting should be limited to qualified personnel with copper piping experience.

Common Applications

Utilized in branch lines, risers, and loop systems requiring 90° directional changes with minimal flow disruption. Suitable for hot and cold water distribution, heating loops, and mechanical system layouts in both new construction and retrofit environments.

Regulatory Note

Lead-free copper fittings are mandatory for potable water systems across all U.S. jurisdictions. This component complies with current code requirements and supports health and safety standards in drinking water infrastructure.

The 1 inch ID Copper Long Radius Street Elbow is a durable, code-compliant solution designed for professional-grade copper piping networks. Its long radius design enhances hydraulic performance, and its reliable jointing surfaces make it a preferred choice among mechanical contractors and plumbing professionals.
