Dakota Sourcing 13040 45 Degree Copper Elbow 3/4 in Od

Product Description

The DAKOTA SOURCING 13040 is a 45-degree copper elbow fitting used to change flow direction in copper tubing systems at a shallow angle. With a 3/4-inch outer diameter and 5/8-inch inner diameter, it connects using a copper-to-copper (C x C) sweat configuration. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and hydronic systems where a gentle directional change is needed without the abrupt turn of a 90-degree elbow. The sweat-end design allows for standard soldering with lead-free solder per current plumbing codes.

This elbow is suited for copper tubing runs in domestic water supply, HVAC refrigerant line sets, and radiant or hydronic heating systems. The 45-degree offset is commonly used when routing lines around framing, mechanical obstacles, or when transitioning between wall cavities and floor assemblies. It is installed wherever a full 90-degree turn is not practical or where reduced flow restriction is preferred.

Key Features

• 45-degree sweep angle for moderate directional changes in copper tubing runs
• C x C (copper-to-copper) sweat ends for standard soldered connections
• 3/4-inch OD and 5/8-inch ID dimensions for precise tubing fitment
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in wet environments
• Compatible with lead-free solder per IPC and IFGC plumbing code requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for copper tubing systems requiring a 45-degree directional change with C x C sweat connections at 3/4-inch OD.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply or isolate the refrigerant circuit and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces before soldering, and use only lead-free solder where required by local code. Allow joints to cool fully before restoring system pressure and inspecting for leaks.
