3/4 inch Copper Street 90 Degree Elbow Copper x Fitting

3/4 inch Copper Street 90° Elbow – For Compact Offsets in Copper Tube Systems

The 3/4 inch Copper Street 90° Elbow is a precision-formed fitting used to change direction in copper piping systems with minimal added length. Featuring a street (male) end and a socket (female) end, this fitting is specifically designed to simplify connections in tight or offset locations where space constraints limit the use of standard elbows.

Fabricated from wrought copper, this fitting offers excellent corrosion resistance and pressure-handling capabilities. It is suitable for hot and cold potable water systems, hydronic heating loops, and a wide range of mechanical piping layouts.

Performance Benefits

Professionals rely on copper street elbows to provide clean directional changes while maintaining system integrity. Key functional attributes include:

• ✅ Space-Saving Design – Street end allows for direct insertion into another fitting without requiring additional pipe length.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance – Manufactured to meet federal and local requirements for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Reliable Joint Formation – Suitable for soldered connections using standard flux and lead-free solder.
• ✅ Uniform Wall Thickness – Provides balanced heat distribution during brazing or soldering for a secure seal.
• ✅ High Compatibility – Fits both Type L and Type M copper tubing as defined by ASTM standards.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Wrought Copper (Lead-Free)
• Nominal Size: 3/4 inch
• End Connections: Street (Copper Male) x Socket (Copper Female)
• Angle: 90 Degrees
• Conformance: Complies with ASME B16.22 and NSF/ANSI 61

Installation Requirements

Proper cleaning and preparation of tube ends and fitting sockets is essential. Apply approved flux to both mating surfaces and use lead-free solder to complete the connection. A uniform flame should be applied to ensure full solder penetration. This fitting is intended for use in systems operating at standard pressure and temperature ratings defined by applicable code.

Common Applications

Widely used in supply lines, mechanical chases, and tight-access installations, this elbow supports system layout flexibility while maintaining directional integrity. Frequently installed in risers, fixture branches, and looped hydronic piping.

Code Compliance Note

All copper fittings used in potable water systems must be lead-free as defined by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This product is compliant and certified accordingly.
