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

3/4 inch Copper Street Elbow – Long Radius, 90° Fitting for Water Supply Systems

The 3/4 inch Copper Long Radius Street Elbow is designed to provide a smooth 90-degree directional change in copper piping systems. Featuring a street (spigot) end and a hub (socket) end, this fitting allows for direct insertion into another fitting, eliminating the need for a short pipe section and reducing total fitting count in compact installations.

Manufactured from wrought copper, this elbow meets applicable standards for use in potable water systems, hydronic heating, and general fluid conveyance applications. The long radius configuration minimizes flow restriction and pressure loss, supporting efficient system performance and reduced wear over time.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Wrought Copper (Type L or M)
• Nominal Size: 3/4 inch
• Connection Type: Street (Spigot) x Hub (Socket)
• Bend Angle: 90 degrees, long radius
• Applicable Standards: ASME B16.22, ASTM B75/B88
• Application: Potable water, hydronic heating, and general copper piping systems

Key Features

• ✅ Long Sweep Radius – Reduces turbulence and pressure drop compared to short-turn elbows.
• ✅ Street Elbow Configuration – One spigot end fits directly into a copper fitting hub, simplifying layout and reducing joint count.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Material – Copper construction resists scaling, pitting, and mineral buildup over time.
• ✅ Code-Compliant Design – Conforms to industry specifications for soldered copper piping systems.

Installation Guidelines

This elbow is intended for soldered connections. All joining surfaces should be cleaned and properly fluxed prior to assembly. Apply heat evenly and use lead-free solder in accordance with local code. Avoid excessive torch heating, which may distort fitting tolerances or compromise joint integrity.

Typical Applications

Commonly used in domestic water supply and closed-loop hydronic systems. Ideal for use behind walls, in ceiling spaces, or near equipment where space constraints require tight directional changes. Also suited for retrofits where replacing existing fittings with longer-radius options can improve flow efficiency.

Material Performance

Copper is non-combustible, antimicrobial, and resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage under normal system pressures. It is widely accepted in residential, commercial, and institutional construction for both hot and cold water distribution.

The 3/4 inch Copper Long Radius Street 90° Elbow provides a clean, code-approved solution for transitioning copper lines in tight or angled spaces. When properly installed, it delivers a durable and efficient joint that supports long-term system performance and serviceability.
