2 inch Copper 45 Degree Street Elbow Copper x Fitting

2 inch Copper 45° Street Elbow – For Code-Compliant Transitions

The 2 inch Copper 45-Degree Street Elbow is manufactured for use in copper pressure systems requiring a directional offset with a compact footprint. With one male and one female solder end, this fitting allows for a direct solder-to-cup connection without the need for an additional coupling, making it a go-to solution where space or alignment constraints exist.

Constructed from lead-free wrought copper, this elbow meets applicable ASTM and ANSI standards for potable water distribution. It is ideal for use in both residential and commercial applications involving hot and cold water, hydronic heating, and other compatible systems.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 2 inch nominal
• Type: Street Elbow – 45° bend
• Connection: Male sweat x Female sweat (cup)
• Material: Lead-free copper alloy, ASTM B75 or equivalent
• Standards: ASME B16.22, NSF/ANSI 61, NSF 372 compliant
• Operating Pressure: Rated up to 200 psi (soldered connections; actual pressure depends on installation)
• Temperature Rating: Suitable for continuous service up to 400°F

Key Performance Attributes

• Compact Turn Radius: Ideal for systems requiring directional changes with minimal added length.
• Solder Joint Design: Smooth, machined ends enable uniform capillary action for reliable soldered connections.
• Thermal Conductivity: Excellent heat transfer properties make it suitable for hot water and hydronic applications.
• Lead-Free Compliance: Certified for use in potable water systems in accordance with federal and state regulations.

Installation Considerations

Install using standard soft solder techniques with approved lead-free solder and flux. Pipe ends should be reamed and cleaned before joining. Heat should be applied evenly, and proper spacing maintained to accommodate thermal expansion. Allow sufficient cooling time before pressurizing the system. Follow all local code requirements.

Typical Use Cases

Common applications include water distribution networks, branch offsets, hot water return loops, and compact manifold configurations. Frequently specified in both new construction and retrofit work due to its dual-function connection ends.

Note:

Do not use in systems conveying gas or steam unless permitted by code and verified for temperature and pressure ratings. Always confirm compatibility of jointing materials and piping type before installation.
