Elkhart Products 45ELL-12 Copper 45 Degree Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 45ELL-12 is a 45-degree copper elbow fitting designed for sweat-solder copper-to-copper piping connections. Part of the KLEENFIT product line, this fitting arrives pre-cleaned and bagged to meet cleanliness requirements for potable water and refrigerant-grade copper systems. The 1/2-inch CxC configuration accepts standard 1/2-inch copper tubing on both ends. At 0.034 pounds, the lightweight fitting is suited for tight-space residential and light commercial plumbing runs where a 45-degree directional change is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of standard soldered copper piping systems.

This 45-degree elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a moderate directional offset is needed without the full 90-degree turn. Common applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and similar copper piping assemblies. The KLEENFIT designation indicates the fitting is factory-cleaned and packaged to reduce prep time on the job. It is compatible with standard Type L and Type M copper tubing in 1/2-inch nominal size, following typical sweat-solder assembly practices.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for moderate directional changes in copper piping runs
• Copper construction suitable for potable water, hydronic, and related service
• CxC (copper-by-copper) solder-end connections on both ends
• KLEENFIT factory-cleaned and bagged for ready-to-solder installation
• Compact dimensions reduce interference in tight chase or wall-cavity installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat-solder fitting for standard 1/2-inch nominal copper tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the affected piping before beginning work. Clean mating tube ends and fitting cups with appropriate flux before soldering, and allow the joint to cool completely before restoring pressure. Do not apply flux or heat to fittings that have been damaged, deformed, or contaminated.
