Description
Domestic Wrot Copper x Copper 45° Elbow
Domestic wrot copper x copper 45-degree elbows provide a 45-degree change in direction between two equal-size copper-tube runs. The two female copper sweat sockets accept properly sized copper tube for soldered residential, commercial, plumbing, mechanical, heating, cooling, maintenance, and repair installations.
Select the required nominal copper tube size from the product options above. The selected variation determines the Cello item number, online selling price, weight, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How a Copper 45° Elbow Works
Each female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube. After both tube ends and fitting sockets are cleaned and prepared, the joints are assembled with approved flux and soldered or brazed to create a permanent 45-degree directional change.
45° Elbow vs. 90° Elbow
45° Elbow
- Changes direction by 45 degrees
- Creates a more gradual offset
- Useful for angled piping runs
- May reduce the number of fittings needed for offsets
90° Elbow
- Changes direction by 90 degrees
- Creates a right-angle turn
- Common for corners and vertical transitions
- Produces a sharper directional change
Common Applications
Plumbing and Mechanical Systems
- Potable-water piping
- Residential plumbing systems
- Commercial plumbing installations
- Mechanical-room piping
- Heating-system piping
- Copper distribution piping
HVAC and Equipment Connections
- Air-conditioning piping
- Refrigeration systems
- Heat-pump installations
- Equipment connections
- Offset piping arrangements
- Maintenance and retrofit work
Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper tube size before installation.
- Clean and prepare both copper tube ends and fitting sockets properly.
- Use approved flux, solder, brazing alloy, and joining procedures for the application.
- Insert each tube fully into the fitting socket before joining.
- Protect nearby valves, seals, insulation, and equipment from excessive heat.
- Support connected piping to avoid mechanical strain on the elbow.
- Pressure-test and inspect completed joints before placing the system into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a copper 45-degree elbow used for?
It changes the direction of an equal-size copper-tube run by 45 degrees.
Are both connections the same size?
Yes. This product has equal-size female copper sweat sockets on both ends.
Does the elbow fit over copper tube?
Yes. Both female sweat sockets fit over properly sized copper tube.
How is this different from a 90-degree elbow?
A 45-degree elbow creates a more gradual angled turn, while a 90-degree elbow creates a right-angle turn.
How is the elbow installed?
The copper tube ends and fitting sockets are cleaned, prepared with approved flux, assembled, and soldered or brazed according to accepted procedures and applicable codes.
Is this a short-radius elbow?
Yes. Cello identifies the WP6 series as a short-radius copper x copper 45-degree elbow.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. This product is listed as a domestic wrot copper pressure fitting.
Who manufactures this elbow?
This product is manufactured by Cello Products.
Can it be used in potable-water systems?
It may be used in compatible potable-water systems when installed according to applicable codes, standards, manufacturer requirements, and approved joining procedures.
Can it be used for refrigeration or HVAC piping?
It may be used in compatible HVAC and refrigeration systems when the material, size, joining procedure, pressure, temperature, and system requirements are appropriate.
