Description
Midland Copper 90 Degree Street Solder Joint Elbow
Midland Copper 90 Degree Street Solder Joint Elbows provide a compact 90-degree change in direction with a fitting end x cup end (FTG x C) configuration. This listing includes sizes from 1/4" through 4" for compatible copper tube piping systems.
The street-elbow design allows the fitting end to insert directly into another compatible copper fitting, which can reduce the number of fittings required in tight piping layouts. Select the nominal size that matches the copper system.

What Is a Street Elbow?
A copper street elbow has two different connection styles on the same fitting. One side is a standard cup connection for copper tube, while the other side is a fitting end designed to insert directly into another compatible fitting.
- FTG end: inserts into a compatible fitting socket
- C end: accepts compatible copper tube
- Provides a 90-degree directional change
- Can help create a more compact piping assembly
- May eliminate the need for a short piece of tube between adjacent fittings

Street Elbow vs. Standard Elbow
Street Elbow - FTG x C
One end inserts directly into another compatible fitting while the other end receives copper tube.
Standard Elbow - C x C
Both ends are cup connections designed to receive copper tube.
Why Use a Street Elbow?
Compact Installation
The fitting end can connect directly into another fitting, helping shorten the overall piping assembly.
Fewer Components
A street elbow can eliminate the short tube nipple sometimes needed between two standard cup-style fittings.
90 Degree Direction Change
The elbow provides a right-angle turn while maintaining the same nominal copper connection size.
Solder Joint Installation
Both ends are intended for compatible solder-joint copper piping systems, although the connection geometry differs between the fitting end and cup end.
- Confirm the fitting and tube size before installation.
- Cut copper tubing squarely.
- Remove internal and external burrs.
- Clean mating copper surfaces thoroughly.
- Insert the tube into the cup end completely.
- Insert the fitting end completely into the mating fitting socket.
- Use soldering materials and procedures appropriate for the application.

How to Select the Correct Street Elbow
- Step 1: Identify the nominal copper tube and fitting size.
- Step 2: Confirm that the application requires an FTG x C street elbow.
- Step 3: Select the corresponding nominal size.
- Step 4: Confirm the fitting end will mate with the intended copper fitting socket.
- Step 5: Verify solder-joint installation is appropriate for the application.

Installation Guidance
- Verify tube, fitting, and street-elbow size before installation.
- Confirm which side is the fitting end and which is the cup end.
- Clean all mating copper surfaces before joining.
- Insert each connection completely before soldering.
- Use appropriate flux, solder, and heating practices for the application.
- Avoid overheating the fitting or nearby components.
- Support the piping to minimize stress on the completed joints.
- 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 requirements, fitting-end orientation, solder-joint installation, available space, mating fitting, and piping application before you order.
