Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 10231088 is a 45-degree copper elbow fitting from the KLEENFIT product line, designed for soldered copper-to-copper connections in plumbing and HVAC refrigerant or water distribution systems. Sized at 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch with a C x C (sweat) connection type, this fitting arrives cleaned and bagged to meet cleanliness standards required for certain refrigeration and plumbing applications. At 0.013 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight spaces and small-diameter line sets. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, refrigerant line routing, and other copper tubing installations where a 45-degree directional change is required on a 1/4-inch line. The KLEENFIT designation indicates the fitting has been cleaned and bagged for use in applications where contamination control is important, such as refrigeration or medical gas systems. It is compatible with standard 1/4-inch copper tubing joined by soldering or brazing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or certified HVAC technician using a torch, solder or brazing alloy, flux, and standard tube preparation tools including a pipe cutter and deburring tool. Shut off the water supply or recover refrigerant from the system before cutting into any existing line. Follow applicable local plumbing codes, IPC guidelines, and EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling regulations as appropriate to the system type. Ensure the tube ends are clean, deburred, and properly fluxed before making the soldered connection.
