Elkhart Products STELL-12 Copper Street 90 Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS STELL-12 is a copper street 90-degree elbow fitting designed for close-rough solder connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Part of the KLEENFIT product line, this fitting arrives cleaned and bagged for immediate use, reducing prep time on the job. It features a FTG x C (fitting-to-copper) connection type, allowing it to slip directly into a standard sweat fitting without a coupling. At 0.042 pounds and compact overall dimensions, it is well suited for tight spaces where direction changes are needed in 1/2-inch copper supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard soldering tools and flux.

This street elbow is used in 1/2-inch copper tubing systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating branch lines, and fixture supply rough-in work. The close-rough configuration makes it a practical choice in wall cavities, under sinks, and in mechanical rooms where minimal run length between fittings is preferred. The KLEENFIT cleaning and bagging process means the fitting is ready to solder without additional degreasing steps.

Key Features

• FTG x C connection eliminates the need for an additional coupling when changing direction
• KLEENFIT process: copper surfaces are pre-cleaned and bagged for job-ready use
• 90-degree street elbow configuration for compact directional changes
• Solder-type joint compatible with standard lead-free solder and flux per plumbing code
• Lightweight at 0.042 pounds for easy handling in confined rough-in spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 1/2-inch copper sweat plumbing systems using FTG x C street elbow connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter using standard copper soldering tools including a torch, lead-free solder, and flux. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before cutting or fitting to ensure a dry joint. Follow local plumbing codes and ASTM or IPC standards for solder joint preparation and flux application. Do not apply heat to a wet line, as residual moisture will prevent proper solder flow and joint integrity.
