Ndl Industries w3026 45 Degree Copper Elbow 5/8in Cxc

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES w3026 is a 45-degree copper elbow designed for sweat-connect copper tubing systems. It accepts 5/8-inch copper tubing on both ends using a copper-to-copper (C x C) connection, making it a standard soldered fitting for directional changes in refrigerant, hydronic, or potable water lines. Plumbers and HVAC technicians use this fitting when a gradual 45-degree offset is required instead of a sharp 90-degree turn, reducing flow resistance and allowing cleaner routing through framing, mechanical rooms, or equipment enclosures.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC piping applications. It is commonly installed in copper supply lines, refrigerant suction and liquid lines, and hydronic heating or cooling distribution systems. The C x C connection type requires standard soldering tools and flux-core solder, making it compatible with conventional sweat-fitting installation practices used across plumbing and refrigeration trades.

Key Features

• 45-degree bend angle for gradual directional changes in copper piping runs
• 5/8-inch C x C connection on both ends for sweat-soldered joints
• Copper construction compatible with standard torch and solder installation
• Available in box quantities of 50, suitable for stocking or multi-unit jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting for 5/8-inch copper tubing systems in plumbing, HVAC, and hydronic applications using standard C x C soldered connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable local codes, including IPC and IMC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line and allow all copper surfaces to cool completely before cutting and fitting. Clean and flux both the tube end and fitting socket before applying heat to ensure a full, leak-free solder joint. Do not apply solder to a wet or pressurized line.
