Mueller Streamline W 02722 90 Elbow Long Radius C X C 1/2 in

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE w 02722 is a long-radius 90-degree elbow fitting designed for copper solder-joint (sweat) connections in supply and pressurized plumbing systems. Configured with a C x C (copper by copper) connection on both ends, this fitting accepts standard 1/2-inch copper tube and is joined using conventional soldering technique. The long-radius bend reduces turbulence and pressure drop compared to a standard 90-degree elbow, making it a preferred choice in water supply lines where flow efficiency matters. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of fitting in residential and light commercial rough-in work.

This fitting is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and other pressurized copper systems where a directional change is required. The C x C configuration means both ends accept copper tube that is cleaned, fluxed, and soldered in place using standard sweat-fitting practice. It is commonly installed during new construction and remodel projects in wall, ceiling, and mechanical-room piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Long-radius 90-degree bend reduces flow resistance compared to short-radius elbows
• C x C ends accept standard 1/2-inch copper tube for sweat soldering
• Wrot copper construction for use in pressurized supply and distribution systems
• Compatible with standard lead-free solder and flux per plumbing code requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2-inch copper tube solder-joint plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before cutting or soldering. Clean tube ends and fitting cups thoroughly with emery cloth, apply appropriate flux, and use lead-free solder where required by code. Avoid overheating the fitting during the sweat process, as excessive heat can damage the fitting or adjacent components.
