5/8 inch Copper 45 Degree Elbow Copper x Copper

5/8 inch Copper 45° Elbow – Wrought Copper Fitting for Directional Offsets

The 5/8 inch Copper 45° Elbow is a solder-joint fitting designed for applications requiring directional changes in copper tube systems. Manufactured from high-purity, lead-free wrought copper, this elbow provides a smooth 45-degree deflection for use in hydronic, potable water, and HVAC installations where flow efficiency and compact routing are required.

Conforming to ASME and ASTM dimensional standards, this fitting is suitable for use with Type K, L, or M copper tubing. Its short-radius bend minimizes space requirements while supporting capillary action during soldering to ensure joint integrity under varying system pressures and temperatures.

Contractor-Grade Features

• ✅ Wrought Copper Alloy Composed of C12200 copper for high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• ✅ Sweat Connection Cup x Cup design for standard soldered joints in pressurized systems.
• ✅ 45° Offset Angle Allows for redirection of piping runs with reduced turbulence compared to 90° elbows.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance Meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 372 standards for potable water systems.
• ✅ Industry Standard Dimensions Compatible with ASTM B88 tubing for consistent field performance.

Technical Specifications

Installation Notes

Clean and deburr both tubing and fitting ends before applying flux. Use lead-free solder only. Apply uniform heat to ensure full solder penetration for a sound mechanical and hydraulic seal. Follow all local and national code requirements for joining copper fittings in potable or hydronic systems.

Typical Use Cases

Commonly used in hot and cold water supply systems, boiler piping, and refrigeration lines where directional changes are needed in tight quarters. The 45° configuration is preferred when gradual offsets are required to reduce pressure drop and improve system flow dynamics.

Regulatory Compliance Note

All fittings intended for use with drinking water must be third-party certified as lead-free under NSF/ANSI 372. This product meets such requirements and is approved for installation in potable water systems across all jurisdictions in the United States.

The 5/8 inch Copper 45° Elbow delivers professional-grade reliability, solder joint compatibility, and directional flexibility in residential and commercial plumbing applications. Built to code-compliant specifications, it ensures long-term performance in copper piping systems.
