Ndl Industries W3344 45 Degree Copper Street Elbow

Product Description

The NDL INDUSTRIES W3344 is a 45-degree copper street elbow designed to change flow direction in copper piping systems without requiring an additional coupling. The fitting features a male solder end (FTG) on one side and a female solder end (C) on the other, allowing it to insert directly into a standard copper fitting socket. At 1-1/8 inches, it fits the corresponding nominal copper tube size used in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians rely on this type of street elbow to reduce fitting count and simplify tight-space installations where a standard elbow and coupling combination would not fit.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial copper piping work, including domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating runs, and refrigerant line sets where local code permits copper sweat fittings. The FTG x C connection style makes it especially useful when transitioning directly out of another fitting body, reducing overall assembly length in confined chases or mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle redirects flow at a shallow offset, reducing turbulence compared to a 90-degree elbow
• FTG x C connection allows direct insertion into a standard copper fitting socket, eliminating one fitting from the assembly
• 1-1/8-inch size suits HVAC refrigerant lines and larger domestic plumbing runs
• Copper construction is compatible with standard lead-free solder and brazing alloys
• Sold in a box quantity of 25, suitable for stocking service vehicles or shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use with 1-1/8-inch copper tubing in plumbing and HVAC piping systems where FTG x C street elbows are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system completely before cutting into any line. Clean and flux both the tube end and the fitting socket thoroughly before applying heat to ensure a leak-free solder or braze joint. Do not apply flame directly to the fitting socket for an extended period, as overheating can cause pitting or oxidation that compromises the joint.
