Ndl Industries n-3026 45 Degree Copper Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES n-3026 is a 45-degree copper elbow fitting designed for copper-to-copper sweat connections in plumbing and HVAC refrigerant or hydronic piping systems. Built entirely from copper, this fitting accepts 1/2-inch connections on both ends and has an outside diameter of 5/8 inches. The 45-degree angle allows directional changes in tubing runs where a gentler offset is needed compared to a 90-degree elbow. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel work, and repair service on copper tubing systems.

This elbow fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 1/2-inch copper tubing is routed through walls, mechanical rooms, or equipment connections. Common install scenarios include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and refrigerant line sets where code and system design call for copper sweat fittings. The all-copper construction makes it compatible with standard torch-and-solder installation methods used across the plumbing and HVAC trades.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional changes in copper tubing runs
• 1/2-inch connection size on both ends for consistent sizing throughout the run
• 5/8-inch outside diameter matches standard 1/2-inch copper tube dimensions
• Full copper construction compatible with sweat soldering and standard flux and solder
• Copper-to-copper connection type eliminates mixed-metal compatibility concerns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for copper tubing systems using 1/2-inch sweat connections in plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians using a torch, flux, and lead-free solder in accordance with local plumbing codes and ASTM standards. Shut off and drain the water supply or isolate the refrigerant circuit before cutting into any existing line. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux evenly before applying heat. Do not overheat the fitting, as excessive heat can damage adjacent components or compromise the solder joint.
