Elkhart Products 9080950 Copper Street Sweep Ell 3 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9080950 is a 3-inch cast copper street long sweep elbow designed for use in pressure and drain piping systems. This fitting accepts a copper pipe on one end and a sweat socket on the other, eliminating the need for a separate coupling in tight transitions. The long sweep radius reduces flow restriction compared to standard short-turn elbows, making it a preferred choice where smooth directional change and consistent flow are priorities. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This cast copper street long sweep ell is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 90-degree or long-radius directional change is required in a copper piping run. The street configuration allows it to connect directly into another fitting socket without a coupling, saving time and reducing joint count in close-quarters work. Typical applications include supply lines, drain transitions, and in-wall or under-slab copper rough-in where long sweep geometry is specified or code-preferred.

Key Features

• 3-inch nominal size suits larger-diameter copper pipe runs
• Street fitting design — one male sweat end, one female sweat socket — reduces total joint count
• Long sweep radius minimizes flow turbulence and pressure drop through the bend
• Cast copper construction provides consistent wall thickness and reliable sweat-solder joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3-inch copper tube and copper pressure fittings per ASME B16.22 sweat-joint conventions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux both the male street end and the receiving socket before sweating to ensure a leak-free joint. Avoid overheating cast copper fittings, as excessive torch heat can affect fitting integrity.
