Ndl Industries W3012 45 Degree Copper Elbow 3/8in Cxc

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES W3012 is a 45-degree copper elbow designed for sweat-connect (C x C) copper tubing systems. Sized at 3/8 inch on both ends, this elbow redirects tubing runs at a 45-degree angle, reducing turbulence compared to sharper 90-degree bends. It is a standard fitting used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC refrigerant piping where smooth directional changes in copper lines are required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is suited for applications involving 3/8-inch copper tubing, including domestic water distribution lines, drain and vent configurations that accept sweat fittings, and refrigerant line sets in split-system HVAC installations. The C x C connection type requires soldering on both the inlet and outlet ends, making it appropriate for hard-drawn or annealed copper tubing installations where a permanent, pressure-rated joint is needed.

Key Features

• 45-degree bend angle for gradual directional changes in copper tubing runs
• 3/8-inch C x C connection on both ends — compatible with standard sweat-joint tooling
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with soldering flux and solder
• Sold in a box quantity of 50, suitable for stocking service vehicles or job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use with 3/8-inch copper tubing in standard plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician performing copper sweat-soldering work. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system and allow all pipe sections to cool completely before cutting into existing lines. Clean the pipe ends and fitting cup with emery cloth and apply appropriate flux before soldering in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Do not use open-flame torches near combustible materials without proper shielding.
