Elkhart Products ST45ELL-34 45 Deg Street Elbow 3/4 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS ST45ELL-34 is a 3/4 inch wrot copper 45 degree street elbow designed for sweat solder connections in copper piping systems. Configured FTG x C, one end accepts a copper tube outside diameter while the other accepts a standard fitting, allowing back-to-back fitting connections without an intervening pipe stub. At 0.076 pounds, it is a lightweight, precision-formed fitting suited for tight-space installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component in both residential and light commercial water supply and hydronic piping systems where a 45 degree directional change is required.

This fitting is appropriate for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and general copper plumbing rough-in work. The FTG x C configuration is commonly used when connecting directly to another fitting socket, eliminating the need for a short nipple between fittings. It is sized for 3/4 inch nominal copper tube, which carries a 7/8 inch outside diameter. The wrot designation indicates the fitting is wrought copper, machined from drawn copper stock for consistent wall thickness and reliable solder joints.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before cutting or soldering. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply lead-free flux before applying heat. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise the solder joint.
