Description
Midland Copper 90 Degree Long Turn Solder Joint Elbow
Midland Copper 90 Degree Long Turn Solder Joint Elbows provide a gradual 90-degree change in direction for compatible copper tube piping systems. This listing includes sizes from 1/8" through 4", including a 5/16" OD option.
The long-turn design provides a broader radius than a standard short 90-degree elbow, making it useful where a smoother directional transition is preferred. Select the exact nominal or OD size required for the installation.

Long Turn Design
A long-turn elbow uses a broader bend radius than a compact 90-degree elbow. This creates a more gradual directional change through the copper piping system.
- 90-degree directional change
- Longer bend radius
- Equal-size inlet and outlet connections
- Suitable where a gradual piping turn is preferred
- Available across a broad range of copper tube sizes

Long Turn vs. Standard 90 Degree Elbow
Long Turn Elbow
Uses a broader bend radius for a more gradual 90-degree directional change.
Standard 90 Degree Elbow
Uses a more compact bend and is typically selected where installation space is tighter.
Solder Joint Connection
These elbows are intended for solder-joint installation with compatible copper tubing. Proper preparation of the tube and fitting is important for a reliable completed joint.
- Cut copper tube squarely.
- Remove internal and external burrs.
- Clean the tube and fitting socket.
- Use appropriate joining materials.
- Insert tubing completely into the fitting.
- Heat and solder using proper procedures.
- Allow the completed joint to cool naturally.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Copper water piping
- Heating systems
- Cooling systems
- Mechanical rooms
- Equipment connections
- General copper tube installations
Commercial & Industrial
- Facility piping systems
- Process piping
- Industrial equipment connections
- Maintenance and repair
- Copper distribution systems
- Production facilities
How to Select the Correct Long Turn Elbow
- Step 1: Identify the copper tube size.
- Step 2: Confirm that a long-turn 90-degree fitting is required.
- Step 3: Select the exact matching size or OD configuration.
- Step 4: Confirm sufficient installation space for the larger bend radius.
- Step 5: Verify solder-joint installation is appropriate for the application.

Installation Guidance
- Confirm fitting and tube size before installation.
- Allow adequate clearance for the long-turn radius.
- Cut tubing squarely and remove burrs.
- Clean tube ends and fitting sockets before joining.
- Insert tubing fully into each socket.
- Use appropriate soldering materials and procedures.
- Support piping to minimize mechanical stress on the elbow.
- Pressure-test the completed piping system as required.
Our pipe, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your copper tube size, long-turn radius requirements, solder-joint connection, available installation space, fitting configuration, and piping application before you order.
