Ndl Industries W3005 45 Degree Copper Elbow 1/4in Cxc

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES W3005 is a 45-degree copper sweat elbow designed for use in copper tubing systems where a directional change is required. Sized at 1/4 inch with a C x C (copper-to-copper) connection type, this elbow is joined using standard soldering techniques. It is a fundamental component in residential and light commercial plumbing, refrigeration, and HVAC refrigerant line installations. Plumbers and HVAC technicians reach for fittings like this when routing tubing around obstacles or making controlled direction changes within a system. Sold in a box quantity of 50, the W3005 is suited for contractors and service shops that need a reliable supply of small-diameter copper fittings on hand.

This elbow is used in applications involving 1/4-inch copper tubing, which is common in refrigeration lines, condensate systems, and domestic water supply branches. The 45-degree angle allows for gradual direction changes, reducing flow turbulence compared to sharper 90-degree turns. Typical install scenarios include routing refrigerant or water lines through tight spaces in walls, mechanical rooms, or equipment enclosures. The C x C configuration means both ends accept copper tubing prepared for soldering with standard flux and solder.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional changes in copper tubing runs
• C x C connection type — both ends are sweat-fit for soldered copper tubing joints
• 1/4-inch fitting size suits refrigeration, HVAC, and small-diameter plumbing applications
• Sold in a box of 50 units, practical for contractor stock and service van inventory
• Manufactured by NDL Industries Inc., a recognized fitting supplier

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use with standard 1/4-inch copper tubing in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with copper sweat soldering practices. Shut off and depressurize the system and purge any refrigerant or water before cutting into an existing line. Clean the tubing end and fitting socket thoroughly, apply flux, and solder per applicable codes including IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. Avoid overheating the fitting during the soldering process, as excessive heat can compromise joint integrity.
