3 inch Copper 90° Elbow – Wrot Copper Fitting for Directional Changes in Supply and DWV Systems

The 3 inch Copper 90° Elbow is designed for use in copper tubing systems where a smooth, right-angle directional transition is required. This elbow supports fluid flow in potable water distribution, DWV (drain, waste, and vent), and hydronic heating applications, offering a solder-joint connection compatible with both Type L and Type M copper tubing.

Fabricated from lead-free wrot copper and manufactured to ANSI/ASME standards, this fitting is engineered for uniform wall thickness, precise curvature, and consistent socket dimensions, ensuring reliable alignment and flow performance across system assemblies.

Key Performance Attributes

• ✅ Material: Wrot copper alloy meeting ASTM B75/B88 specifications
• ✅ Connection: Solder (cup x cup) ends for use with standard copper tubing
• ✅ Nominal Size: 3 inches
• ✅ Compliance: Certified lead-free under NSF/ANSI 61 & 372; meets ASME B16.22
• ✅ Bend Radius: Short-radius 90-degree angle optimized for directional changes in tight configurations

Installation Notes

Prepare tubing and fitting surfaces per standard soldering procedures: clean and deburr ends, apply appropriate lead-free flux, and heat uniformly before introducing solder. Ensure full penetration of solder at the joint to avoid voids or leaks. Designed for gravity and pressure systems as permitted by local code.

Application Overview

Suitable for residential, commercial, and institutional plumbing systems. Commonly used in hot and cold water lines, riser transitions, waste stacks, and supply loops requiring 90-degree flow deflection. Approved for both above-ground and in-wall installations when installed per applicable plumbing codes.

Material and Regulatory Considerations

This elbow is fabricated from lead-free copper alloy per the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act. Its resistance to scale buildup, high thermal conductivity, and antimicrobial properties make it a preferred material for potable water systems, hydronics, and DWV applications requiring long-term reliability and regulatory compliance.

The 3 inch Copper 90° Elbow is a high-integrity directional fitting engineered for soldered copper systems in demanding service conditions. Its dimensional accuracy and corrosion-resistant construction support consistent performance in critical water and venting infrastructure.
