Description
Domestic Cleaned & Bagged Wrot Copper 90° Long-Turn Street Elbow – FTG x C
Domestic cleaned and bagged FTG x C wrot copper 90° long-turn street elbows provide a smooth right-angle directional change using one male copper fitting end and one female copper sweat socket. The longer-radius configuration creates a more gradual turn than a standard street elbow while allowing the fitting end to connect directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket.

How an FTG x C 90° Long-Turn Street Elbow Works
The male copper fitting end inserts directly into a compatible female copper fitting socket. The opposite female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube. The long-turn body provides a more gradual 90-degree change in direction than a standard compact street elbow.
Long-Turn Street Elbow vs. Standard Street Elbow
90° Long-Turn Street Elbow
- Uses a longer-radius bend
- Creates a smoother 90-degree directional change
- Uses one male fitting end and one female socket
- Requires more installation space than a standard street elbow
Standard 90° Street Elbow
- Uses a more compact bend radius
- Creates a tighter right-angle turn
- Uses one male fitting end and one female socket
- Requires less installation space
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.
Common Applications
Clean and Controlled Piping
- Medical-gas piping installations
- Laboratory piping systems

- Process piping requiring protected fittings
- Projects specifying cleaned and bagged copper components
Long-Radius Directional Connections
- Fitting-to-fitting assemblies
- Equipment connections
- Heating and cooling piping
- HVAC and refrigeration systems
- Commercial mechanical piping
- Applications requiring a smoother right-angle turn
Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper size before ordering.
- Allow sufficient installation space for the longer-radius body.
- 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 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 long-turn 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 an FTG x C 90° long-turn street elbow?
It is a long-radius 90-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 long-turn street elbow different from a standard street elbow?
The long-turn version uses a larger bend radius to create a more gradual directional change and requires more installation space.
Does the fitting end fit over copper tube?
No. The male fitting end inserts directly 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 fitting eliminate a short tube nipple?
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 specification, and applicable code.
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.
