Dakota Sourcing 13031 90 Degree Copper Street Elbow

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 13031 is a 90-degree copper street long elbow designed for sweat-connect copper plumbing systems. This fitting features a FTG (fitting, or street) end on one side and a cup-end socket (C) on the other, allowing it to connect directly to another fitting without requiring a separate coupling. The 3/4-inch OD and 5/8-inch ID dimensions make it compatible with standard 3/4-inch copper tube sizing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when a long-radius directional change is needed within a copper run.

This street long elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where copper sweat fittings are the specified connection method. The long-turn geometry reduces flow restriction compared to a standard short-pattern elbow, making it a preferred choice in supply lines, recirculation loops, and tight mechanical-room installations where minimizing pressure drop matters. It is installed using standard copper soldering practices and fits within conventional 3/4-inch copper tube systems.

Key Features

• 90-degree long-pattern street elbow for reduced flow restriction at direction changes
• FTG x C end configuration allows direct fitting-to-fitting connection without an additional coupling
• 3/4-inch OD and 5/8-inch ID dimensions match standard 3/4-inch copper tube sizing
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water systems
• Sweat-connect ends accepted by standard torch-and-solder installation methods

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for standard 3/4-inch copper tube plumbing systems using sweat-connect fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber using a propane or MAPP torch, pipe cutter, flux, and lead-free solder in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before cutting into an existing system. Clean and flux all mating surfaces before applying heat, and allow the joint to cool completely before pressurizing the system. Do not use open flame near combustible materials without appropriate shielding.
