Elkhart Products CP74-16 90 Degree Brass Elbow 1 Inch Cxm

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS CP74-16 is a lead-free cast brass 90-degree elbow fitting designed for copper tubing systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications. This CxM (copper-by-male) configuration accepts a soldered copper connection on one end and transitions to a male threaded connection on the other, making it a reliable transition fitting for directional changes in supply lines and branch runs. At 1 inch, it suits common domestic water distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work where a 90-degree directional change and a threaded connection are needed at the same joint.

This fitting is suited for potable water systems, hydronic heating lines, and general copper plumbing where a lead-free material is required by code. The CxM end connection allows the fitting to solder directly onto standard copper tube while the male-threaded end connects to a female-threaded valve, fixture, or fitting. It is commonly installed in both residential supply rough-in and light commercial plumbing where 1-inch copper distribution piping is present.

Key Features

• Lead-free cast brass construction meets current potable water compliance requirements
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in copper piping runs
• CxM end connections: solder cup inlet transitions to male-threaded outlet
• 1-inch size fits standard 1-inch copper tube and male-threaded fittings
• International Cast Brass product line for consistent dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch copper tube plumbing systems requiring a soldered cup-to-male-thread transition at a 90-degree angle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux the copper tube end thoroughly before soldering, and ensure the male-threaded end is wrapped with PTFE tape or pipe-joint compound before assembly to the mating female fitting. Do not overheat the fitting during soldering, as excessive heat can damage the brass and compromise the joint.
