Nibco B074000 Cast Copper 90 Degree Elbow 1/2 Inch C X C

Product Description

The NIBCO B074000 is a cast copper 90 degree Hy-Set elbow designed for use in copper pressure piping systems. This fitting connects two copper tubes at a right angle using sweat (C x C) end connections, making it a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating installations. Cast from copper, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and a leak-free joint when properly soldered. The 1/2 inch fitting size and solder-cup end connections make it compatible with standard 1/2 inch copper tubing. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of new construction and repair work where directional changes in copper supply lines are required.

This fitting is suited for potable water supply lines, drain and vent roughing, radiant and hydronic heating loops, refrigeration line sets, and general pressure piping applications. The 90 degree angle makes it appropriate for tight directional changes in wall, floor, and ceiling rough-in work. It is sold individually, making it useful for single-fitting repair jobs as well as larger installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pressure fitting for use with standard 1/2 inch copper tubing in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic piping systems using C x C sweat connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and fully depressurize and drain the line before cutting or fitting. Clean and flux both the tube end and fitting socket before applying heat and solder to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overheat the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise joint integrity.
