3/4 inch Copper 90 Degree Elbow Copper x Male

Professional-Grade 3/4 Inch Copper 90° Elbow – Copper x Male Thread

The 3/4 inch Copper 90 Degree Elbow (Copper x Male Thread) delivers high-integrity directional transitions in copper piping systems. Built for use in pressurized potable water, hydronic heating, and other closed-loop applications, this fitting enables a clean 90-degree change of flow while transitioning to male-threaded terminations.

Specification Highlights

This copper fitting meets rigorous installation standards and is machined to exact tolerances for seamless integration in Type L or Type M copper systems. Key performance attributes include:

• ✅ Precision-Forged Body: Ensures dimensional accuracy and consistent thread engagement.
• ✅ Rated for Pressure and Temperature: Suitable for use in systems operating under elevated pressure and thermal loads.
• ✅ Dezincification-Resistant: Constructed of lead-free copper, in full compliance with federal and state potable water regulations.

Application Use Case

Primarily used in space-constrained areas requiring directional changes and threaded endpoints, this elbow is appropriate for mechanical rooms, riser transitions, and meter assemblies. Its compact radius allows for tighter layouts without compromising system performance.

Fitting Characteristics

• ✅ 90° Elbow Geometry: Facilitates directional rerouting while maintaining consistent flow.
• ✅ Male NPT Thread: Provides a direct connection to threaded valves, tees, or manifolds without need for adapters.
• ✅ Sweat Socket Connection: Designed for torch-soldered attachment to copper tubing.
• ✅ Code-Compliant Composition: Certified lead-free per NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 standards.

Regulatory Compliance

Compliant with national lead-free plumbing mandates and applicable mechanical code sections for potable water distribution systems. Suitable for use in both residential and commercial installations.

Installation Considerations

Install using standard copper sweating techniques. Ensure pipe is properly cleaned and fluxed prior to heating. Apply heat evenly to achieve complete solder flow around the joint. Male-threaded end must be sealed with approved joint compound or PTFE tape per jobsite requirements. Do not overtighten when connecting to brass or bronze components.

For contractors requiring dependable, long-service fittings, the 3/4 Inch Copper x Male 90° Elbow is a proven choice. Its durability, compliance, and ease of integration make it a preferred solution for professional-grade plumbing installations.
