- Maintains the same nominal connection size
- Provides a more gradual turn than a 90-degree elbow
- Can be used individually or in pairs to offset a piping run

45 Degree vs. 90 Degree Elbow
45 Degree Elbow
Provides a more gradual change in direction and can be useful for offsets and less abrupt piping turns.
90 Degree Elbow
Provides a full right-angle turn where the piping route needs to change direction by 90 degrees.
Solder Joint Connection
These copper elbows are intended for solder-joint installation with compatible copper tubing. Proper preparation of both the tube and fitting helps produce a dependable finished connection.
- Cut tubing squarely.
- Remove internal and external burrs.
- Clean tube and fitting surfaces.
- Use appropriate joining materials.
- Insert tubing fully into the fitting.
- Heat and solder using proper procedures.
- Allow the joint to cool naturally.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Copper water piping
- Heating systems
- Cooling systems
- Mechanical rooms
- Equipment connections
- Copper piping offsets
Commercial & Industrial
- Facility piping systems
- Process piping
- Industrial equipment connections
- Maintenance and repair
- Copper distribution systems
- Production facilities
How to Select the Correct Elbow
- Step 1: Identify the nominal copper tube size.
- Step 2: Confirm that the piping layout requires a 45-degree turn.
- Step 3: Select the elbow matching the tube size.
- Step 4: Confirm solder-joint installation is appropriate.
- Step 5: Verify system requirements before installation.
