3/4 inch ID Copper Refrig Long Radius 90 Degree Elbow Copper x Copper

3/4 inch Copper Long Radius 90° Elbow – Built for Efficient, Code-Compliant Flow Transitions

The 3/4 inch Copper Long Radius 90° Elbow is specifically designed for hydronic and potable water systems requiring a gradual directional change without compromising flow characteristics. The extended radius helps minimize pressure loss and turbulence, making it an ideal component for maintaining hydraulic efficiency in horizontal and vertical runs.

This fitting is manufactured from lead-free wrought copper and meets stringent industry standards for safety and performance, ensuring durability in both new construction and retrofit applications. Its smooth interior and precision-formed bends support clean soldering and long-term integrity in demanding conditions.

Professional Advantages

• ✅ Long Radius Design – Reduces velocity loss and mitigates erosion, especially in systems with high flow rates.
• ✅ Lead-Free Construction – Complies with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements, making it suitable for potable water systems.
• ✅ Consistent Wall Thickness – Allows uniform heat distribution during soldering and minimizes the risk of deformation.
• ✅ NSF/ANSI 61 Certified – Approved for use in systems conveying drinking water.
• ✅ Compatible with Type L and M Copper Tubing – Versatile use across residential and light commercial installations.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 3/4 inch nominal
• Connection Type: Copper Socket x Copper Socket

Application Scope

This long-radius elbow is commonly used in hot and cold water supply lines, HVAC hydronic piping, and low-pressure steam systems. It is well-suited for layouts requiring extended directional changes without flow disruption—such as behind walls, slab penetrations, or along main trunk lines in mechanical rooms.

Did You Know?

Long-radius elbows are often preferred in systems where high efficiency and minimal flow resistance are critical—such as circulating pump loops or high-velocity zones—due to their superior hydraulic performance compared to short-radius elbows.

For applications requiring durability, compliance, and system efficiency, the 3/4 inch Copper Long Radius 90° Elbow delivers a professional-grade solution that meets code and exceeds expectations for long-term performance.
