Description
Midland Copper 90 Degree Long Turn Street Solder Joint Elbow
Midland Copper 90 Degree Long Turn Street Solder Joint Elbows combine a gradual long-radius 90-degree turn with a fitting end x cup end (FTG x C) connection configuration. This listing includes sizes from 1/8" through 3" for compatible copper tube piping systems.
The long-turn street design can help create a smoother directional transition while allowing the fitting end to insert directly into another compatible copper fitting. Select the nominal size required for the piping layout.

What Is a Long Turn Street Elbow?
A long turn street elbow combines two design features in one copper fitting:
- A broader, more gradual 90-degree bend
- A fitting end on one side that inserts into another compatible fitting
- A cup end on the other side that receives copper tube
- A compact fitting-to-fitting connection compared with using a separate tube section

Long Turn Street vs. Standard Street Elbow
Long Turn Street Elbow
Provides the FTG x C street configuration with a broader bend radius for a more gradual 90-degree turn.
Standard Street Elbow
Uses the same general FTG x C connection concept but with a more compact 90-degree bend.
FTG x C Connection
The two ends of the street elbow have different connection geometries:
- FTG End: designed to insert into a compatible copper fitting socket
- C End: designed to receive compatible copper tube
- Both sides are intended for solder-joint installation
- Connection orientation should be confirmed before assembly
Why Use a Long Turn Street Elbow?
Gradual Direction Change
The long-turn radius provides a broader 90-degree transition through the piping layout.
Compact Fitting Connection
The fitting end can connect directly into another compatible fitting without a separate short tube section.
Wide Size Range
Available sizes from 1/8" through 3" cover a broad range of copper piping applications.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Copper water piping
- Heating systems
- Cooling systems
- Mechanical rooms
- Equipment connections
- Compact piping layouts
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 Street Elbow
- Step 1: Identify the nominal copper tube and fitting size.
- Step 2: Confirm that an FTG x C street configuration is required.
- Step 3: Confirm that a long-turn 90-degree radius is appropriate for the layout.
- Step 4: Select the matching nominal size.
- Step 5: Verify sufficient installation clearance for the broader radius.

Installation Guidance
- Verify tube, fitting, and elbow size before installation.
- Confirm which connection is the fitting end and which is the cup end.
- Allow adequate clearance for the long-turn radius.
- Clean all mating copper surfaces thoroughly.
- Insert each connection completely before soldering.
- Use appropriate flux, solder, and heating procedures.
- Support piping to minimize stress on the completed fitting.
- Pressure-test the finished system according to applicable requirements.
Our pipe, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your copper tube size, FTG x C connection orientation, long-turn radius, solder-joint requirements, mating fitting, available installation space, and piping application before you order.

What does FTG x C mean?
FTG x C means the elbow has one fitting end that inserts into a compatible fitting socket and one cup end that receives copper tube.
What makes this a long turn elbow?
The elbow uses a broader bend radius than a compact standard street elbow, creating a more gradual 90-degree directional change.
What sizes are available?
This listing includes sizes from 1/8" through 3".
What size is part number 77158?
77158 is the 1" long turn street elbow.
What size is part number 77193?
77193 is the 3" long turn street elbow.
Are these reducing fittings?
No. Each variant maintains the same nominal connection size.
How are these fittings joined?
They are intended for solder-joint installation with compatible copper tube and fittings.
Important Ordering Notes
- This listing includes twelve Midland copper long-turn street elbows.
- All variants use FTG x C connections.
- All variants use equal nominal connection sizes.
- Long-turn fittings require more clearance than compact standard street elbows.
- Verify connection orientation, nominal size, and installation space before ordering.
