Description
Domestic Wrot Fitting x Copper 45° Street Elbow
Domestic wrot fitting x copper 45-degree street elbows provide a 45-degree change in direction with one male copper fitting end and one female copper sweat socket. The fitting end inserts directly into a compatible copper fitting socket, while the copper end accepts properly sized copper tube.
Select the required nominal connection size from the product options above. Both ends correspond to the same nominal copper-tube system size, but the connection styles are different: male fitting end x female copper sweat socket. The selected variation determines the Cello item number, online selling price, weight, cost, and other size-specific product information.

How a Fitting x Copper 45° Street Elbow Works
The male copper fitting end inserts into a compatible female copper fitting socket. The opposite female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube. After the mating surfaces are cleaned and prepared, both joints are soldered or brazed using approved procedures to create a permanent 45-degree directional change.
Understanding the Two Connections
Male Fitting End
- Inserts into a female copper fitting socket
- Has the outside diameter of copper tube
- Does not fit over copper tube
- May connect directly to another elbow, tee, coupling, or fitting
Female Copper Sweat End
- Fits over properly sized copper tube
- Accepts the matching nominal copper-tube size
- Joined using approved flux and solder or brazing alloy
- Provides the tube connection side of the elbow
Street 45° Elbow vs. Copper x Copper 45° Elbow
Fitting x Copper Street Elbow
- One male fitting end
- One female copper sweat socket
- Can insert directly into another copper fitting
- Creates a compact fitting-to-tube transition
Copper x Copper Elbow
- Female copper sweat sockets on both ends
- Accepts copper tube on both sides
- Does not insert directly into another fitting
- Used for tube-to-tube directional changes
Common Applications
Plumbing and Mechanical Systems
- Potable-water piping
- Residential plumbing systems
- Commercial plumbing installations
- Mechanical-room piping
- Heating-system piping
- Copper distribution piping
Compact Directional Changes
- Direct connection to copper fittings
- Offset piping arrangements
- Valve and equipment connections

Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal copper-system size before installation.
- Identify the male fitting end and female copper socket before assembly.
- Insert the fitting end into a compatible female copper fitting socket.
- Insert properly sized copper tube into the female sweat socket.
- Clean and prepare all mating surfaces before joining.
- Use approved flux, solder, brazing alloy, and joining procedures for the application.
- Protect nearby valves, seals, insulation, and equipment from excessive heat.
- Support connected piping to prevent strain on the street elbow.
- Pressure-test and inspect completed joints before placing the system into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fitting x copper 45-degree street elbow?
It is a 45-degree copper elbow with one male fitting end that inserts into another copper fitting and one female sweat socket that accepts copper tube.
Are both ends female copper sockets?
No. One end is a male copper fitting end, and the other is a female copper sweat socket.
Which end fits over copper tube?
The female copper sweat socket fits over properly sized copper tube.
What does the fitting end connect to?
The male fitting end inserts into a compatible female copper fitting socket, such as another elbow, tee, coupling, or adapter.
Are the two ends the same nominal size?
Yes. Each variation corresponds to one nominal copper-system size, but the two ends have different connection styles.
How is this different from a copper x copper 45-degree elbow?
A copper x copper elbow has female sweat sockets on both ends. This street elbow has one male fitting end and one female copper sweat socket.
Why would I use a street elbow?
A street elbow can connect directly into another copper fitting, which may create a more compact installation and eliminate the need for an additional coupling or short tube section.
How is the elbow installed?
The fitting end is inserted into a properly prepared copper fitting socket, and the female copper end receives properly sized copper tube. Both joints are soldered or brazed according to approved procedures.
Does this elbow change direction by 45 degrees?
Yes. It provides a 45-degree directional change.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. This product is listed as a domestic wrot copper pressure fitting.
Who manufactures this street 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 in HVAC or refrigeration systems?
