Description
Domestic Cleaned & Bagged Wrot Copper 90° Elbow – C x C
Domestic cleaned and bagged C x C wrot copper 90° elbows provide a right-angle directional change in copper piping systems using female copper sweat sockets. Most listed variations have equal-size connections, with a 3/4" x 1/2" reducing elbow also available for applications requiring a size transition through the turn.
Select the required nominal copper tube size or reducing combination 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 a Copper 90° Elbow Works
Each end of the elbow contains a female copper sweat socket designed to fit over properly sized copper tube. The fitting changes the direction of the piping by 90 degrees. Equal-size variations maintain the same nominal tube size through the turn, while the 3/4" x 1/2" variation changes tube size while creating the right-angle connection.
Equal-Size vs. Reducing 90° Elbow
Equal-Size 90° Elbow
- Uses the same nominal size on both connections
- Creates a standard right-angle turn
- Maintains the same tube size through the fitting
- Available in most listed sizes
Reducing 90° Elbow
- Uses two different nominal connection sizes
- Changes tube size while creating a 90-degree turn
- The listed reducing variation is 3/4" x 1/2"
- Can eliminate a separate reducer in some piping layouts
90° Elbow vs. 45° Elbow
90° Elbow
- Changes piping direction by 90 degrees
- Creates a right-angle turn
- Commonly used at corners and vertical-to-horizontal transitions
- Provides a compact directional change
45° Elbow
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Creates a more gradual change in direction
- Commonly used for offsets and angled routing
- Can be used in pairs to create offset piping arrangements
Cleaned & Bagged Construction
Each elbow is cleaned and enclosed in protective packaging to help preserve the condition of its internal and external joining surfaces during storage, transportation, and handling. Keep the fitting sealed in its original bag until immediately before installation.
Cleaned and bagged copper components 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.

- Equipment connections
- Vertical-to-horizontal transitions
- Maintenance and retrofit installations
Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper tube size or reducing combination before ordering.
- For the 3/4" x 1/2" reducing variation, confirm the orientation of the larger and smaller tube connections.
- Verify that cleaned and bagged fittings meet the project specifications.
- 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 both copper sweat sockets and copper tube ends before assembly.
- Cut copper tube square and remove burrs using approved methods.
- Prepare the copper tube and fitting surfaces using procedures approved for the application.
- Insert both copper tubes fully into their corresponding elbow sockets.
- Align the 90-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 a C x C copper 90° elbow?
It is a wrot copper fitting with female copper sweat sockets that changes the direction of copper piping by 90 degrees.
Do both ends fit over copper tube?
Yes. Both connections are female copper sweat sockets designed to fit over properly sized copper tube.
Are all of these elbows equal size?
Most listed variations are equal size. A 3/4" x 1/2" reducing 90-degree elbow is also included in this product family.
What is a reducing 90° elbow?
A reducing elbow connects two different nominal copper tube sizes while also creating a 90-degree change in direction.
When would I use a 90° elbow instead of a 45° elbow?
A 90-degree elbow is commonly used when the piping must make a right-angle turn, such as at corners or vertical-to-horizontal transitions.
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.
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 specification, and applicable code.
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.
Can the fitting be used if the bag is damaged?
Do not assume that a damaged or opened package still satisfies project cleanliness requirements. Follow the applicable contamination-control and rejection procedures.
Does the selected size determine the SKU and price?
Yes. Each nominal size or reducing combination has its own Cello SKU, online selling price, estimated shipping weight, and cost.
