- Compact short-elbow configuration
- Maintains the same nominal pipe size through the fitting
- Available specifically for 6" and 8" copper tube
Large-Diameter Copper Applications
Large copper fittings require careful planning before installation because their size, weight, support requirements, and joint preparation differ significantly from smaller copper fittings.
- Verify actual tube and fitting dimensions before installation.
- Plan adequate support for large-diameter piping.
- Allow sufficient working space for proper joint preparation.
- Use joining procedures appropriate for the system and fitting size.
- Confirm all system requirements before installation.
Solder Joint Connection
These fittings are intended for solder-joint installation with compatible copper tubing. Proper preparation of the tube and fitting surfaces is critical to the completed connection.
- Cut the copper tube squarely.
- Remove internal and external burrs.
- Clean tube ends and fitting sockets thoroughly.
- Use joining materials suitable for the application.
- Insert tubing fully into the fitting socket.
- Heat and join the fitting using appropriate procedures.
- Allow the joint to cool naturally before handling.
