Nibco B068600 Cast Copper 90 Union Elbow 3/4 in C X F

Product Description

The NIBCO B068600 is a cast copper 90-degree union elbow designed for pressure piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications. The fitting measures 3/4 inches and uses a C x F (copper sweat by female) end connection, allowing it to join copper tubing to a female-threaded fitting or component. Cast from copper conforming to ASTM B584 and ISO standards, this elbow delivers reliable performance in pressure applications where a true 90-degree directional change is required. At 0.48 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for tight installation spaces.

This union elbow is used in 3/4-inch copper pressure piping systems found in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing distribution. The C x F configuration makes it a practical choice when transitioning between a sweat copper run and a threaded component such as a valve, shutoff, or fixture connection. Plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction and retrofit projects alike will find this fitting compatible with standard 3/4-inch Type L and Type M copper tube.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Sweat the copper-end connection using appropriate flux and lead-free solder in compliance with potable water regulations. Inspect the female-threaded connection for damage and use thread sealant appropriate for the service before assembling.
