Product Description

The NIBCO INC BF0120LC is a 3/4 inch copper-to-female NPT 90-degree elbow fitting designed for use in water supply and distribution piping systems. It features a solder cup (sweat) inlet and a female NPT threaded outlet, allowing plumbers and pipefitters to change pipeline direction by 90 degrees while transitioning between copper tube and threaded pipe connections. The fitting is lead-free, meeting regulatory requirements for potable water installations. It is sold in a package of 10 units, making it well suited for service work and new construction projects alike.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed between copper tubing and a female-threaded fitting or valve. Typical applications include connecting copper supply lines to threaded shutoff valves, fixture supply stubs, and water service transitions. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters using standard soldering equipment and threaded pipe tools.

Compatibility

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 drain the line before soldering to ensure a proper, void-free joint. Use appropriate flux and lead-free solder rated for potable water service on the sweat connection, and apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before making up the threaded joint. Do not over-tighten the threaded connection, as this can crack the fitting.
