Domestic Cleaned & Bagged Wrot Copper 45° Street Elbow – FTG x C
Domestic cleaned and bagged FTG x C wrot copper 45° street elbows provide a 45-degree directional change using one male copper fitting end and one female copper sweat socket. The fitting-end connection inserts directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket, while the opposite copper connection fits over properly sized copper tube.
Select the required nominal copper size from the product options above. The selected variation determines the Cello item number, online selling price, shipping weight, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How an FTG x C 45° Street Elbow Works
The male copper fitting end inserts directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket. The opposite female copper sweat connection fits over properly sized copper tube. Together, the two connections create a compact 45-degree change in piping direction.
45° Street Elbow vs. Standard 45° Elbow
FTG x C 45° Street Elbow
- Uses one male copper fitting end
- Uses one female copper sweat socket
- Can connect directly into another female copper fitting
- Helps reduce overall assembly length
C x C 45° Elbow
- Uses female copper sweat sockets on both ends
- Fits over copper tube at both connections
- Requires copper tube between adjoining female fittings
- Provides a conventional tube-to-tube directional change
Cleaned & Bagged Construction
Each elbow is cleaned and enclosed in protective packaging to help preserve the condition of its joining surfaces during storage, transportation, and handling. Keep the fitting sealed in its original bag until immediately before installation.
Cleaned and bagged copper fittings are commonly specified for piping systems where dirt, oil, grease, moisture, metal particles, and other contaminants must be carefully controlled. Confirm that the fitting, cleaning level, packaging, joining procedure, and installation requirements satisfy the project specifications and applicable codes.

Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper size before ordering.
- Verify that the receiving connection for the male fitting end is a compatible female copper fitting socket.
- Keep the fitting sealed until immediately before installation.
- Handle the fitting using clean gloves and approved tools when required.
- Do not use the fitting if the protective package is damaged or the fitting appears contaminated.
- Inspect the male fitting end, female sweat socket, receiving fitting, and copper tube before assembly.
- Prepare all copper joining surfaces using approved procedures.
- Insert the male fitting end fully into the receiving female copper fitting socket.
- Insert the copper tube fully into the opposite female sweat socket.
- Align the 45-degree direction correctly before joining.
- Use approved solder, brazing alloy, purge gas, flux, and joining procedures.
- Follow applicable medical-gas requirements when installed in medical-gas piping.
- Support connected piping to prevent mechanical strain on completed joints.
- Pressure-test and inspect the completed system before placing it into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FTG x C copper 45° street elbow?
It is a 45-degree copper elbow with a male copper fitting end on one side and a female copper sweat socket on the other.
What does FTG x C mean?
FTG identifies the male copper fitting end that inserts into a female copper fitting socket. C identifies the female copper sweat socket that fits over copper tube.
How is a street elbow different from a standard 45° elbow?
A standard elbow has female copper sockets on both ends. A street elbow has one male fitting end and one female copper socket.
Does the fitting end fit over copper tube?
No. The male fitting end inserts into a compatible female copper fitting socket.
Does the other end fit over copper tube?
Yes. The female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube.
Can this street elbow reduce the need for a tube nipple?
Yes. In many fitting-to-fitting assemblies, the male fitting end can connect directly into a female copper fitting without a short section of copper tube.
Can this elbow be brazed?
Yes, when brazing is appropriate and completed using approved materials, procedures, purge requirements, and applicable codes.
Can this elbow be soldered?
It may be soldered when permitted by the application, project specifications, and applicable codes.
Why is the fitting cleaned and bagged?
The protective packaging helps prevent dirt, oil, grease, moisture, metal particles, and other contaminants from contacting the fitting before installation.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. It is listed as a domestic cleaned and bagged wrot copper fitting manufactured by Cello Products.
Can it be used in medical-gas piping?
It may be used when the fitting, cleaning level, packaging, joining procedure, and installation satisfy the project specifications and applicable medical-gas requirements.
Does the selected size determine the SKU and price?
Yes. Each nominal size has its own Cello SKU, online selling price, estimated shipping weight, and cost.
