Elkhart Products 9043500CB Copper 45 Elbow 3 Inches

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9043500CB is a 3-inch copper 45-degree elbow fitting supplied cleaned and bagged for immediate use in potable water and mechanical piping systems. The cleaned and bagged designation means the fitting interior is free of oils, particulates, and contaminants at the time of packaging, making it suitable for medical gas, refrigeration, and other purity-sensitive piping applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this elbow to change flow direction by 45 degrees within copper pipe runs. The 3-inch size is common in commercial plumbing mains, HVAC hydronic distribution, and industrial process piping where larger-diameter copper is specified.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, medical gas distribution, and refrigeration piping where a 45-degree directional change is required in a 3-inch copper line. The cleaned and bagged preparation makes it a go-to choice when project specifications require contamination-controlled fittings straight from packaging. It is compatible with standard 3-inch copper tubing joined by soldering or brazing per applicable codes.

Key Features

• 3-inch copper construction for use in larger-diameter pipe runs
• 45-degree angle provides a gradual directional change that reduces flow turbulence compared to 90-degree elbows
• Cleaned and bagged at the factory to meet purity requirements for medical gas, refrigeration, and potable water systems
• Solder or braze joint connection compatible with standard copper tubing practices
• Suitable for potable water, HVAC hydronic, and process piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for standard 3-inch copper tubing systems using solder or braze-joint connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes, IFGC guidelines where relevant, and ASTM B88 copper tubing standards. Shut off and depressurize the piping system and drain any standing water before cutting into the line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces immediately before soldering or brazing to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not contaminate the cleaned interior of the fitting after opening the bag; install promptly or reseal until ready.
