Elkhart Products ST45ELL-12 45 Degree Street Elbow 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS ST45ELL-12 is a 1/2 inch wrot copper 45 degree street elbow designed for sweat-solder plumbing connections. Built with a FTG x C configuration, this fitting accepts a copper tube on one end and a fitting socket on the other, allowing direct inline connections without an additional coupling. Wrot copper construction means the fitting is wrought and formed from solid copper, delivering consistent wall thickness and reliable joint integrity. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing rough-in applications where a 45 degree directional change is required.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The FTG x C end configuration makes it especially useful when connecting directly to another fitting without extra pipe, a common need in tight spaces during rough-in or repair work. At 1/2 inch nominal size, it fits the standard 1/2 inch copper tube used throughout domestic water supply and hydronic distribution systems. Solder-type connections require standard lead-free solder and flux per applicable codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting or sweating any fitting. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply lead-free flux before soldering.
