Nibco B056350 Cast Copper 90 Elbow 1-1/2 X 1/2 C X C

Product Description

The NIBCO B056350 is a cast copper 90-degree close rough elbow designed for pressure piping systems. This reducing elbow connects a 1-1/2 inch line to a 1/2 inch line using sweat (C x C) end connections on both ends. Cast copper construction provides reliable performance in potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of copper sweat assemblies where a right-angle directional change and a simultaneous reduction in line size are required in a single fitting.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper pressure piping is used. The close rough configuration keeps the fitting compact, making it appropriate for tight spaces within wall cavities, mechanical rooms, or equipment connections. The C x C end connections accept standard copper tubing that is soldered using conventional torch and solder methods in accordance with applicable plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and allow all pipe sections to cool completely before cutting or soldering. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux before heating with a torch and flowing lead-free solder. Never apply heat to a fitting while the system is under pressure or contains water.
