Nibco Inc BF0240L 1/2 Inch Cxc 90 Degree Drop Elbow

Product Description

The NIBCO INC BF0240L is a 1/2 inch copper sweat drop elbow that changes pipeline direction 90 degrees while providing a flush wall-mount point for the pipe. It features solder cups on both ends for CxC (copper-by-copper) sweat connections and integrated mounting ears that allow the fitting to be secured directly to a wall stud or framing member. This fitting is lead-free, meeting potable water safety requirements. It is installed by licensed plumbers in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, particularly at fixture stub-out locations where a pipe must terminate flush with or through a wall surface.

This fitting is suited for copper water supply lines in new construction and remodel projects. The drop elbow design is most commonly used at shower arm, tub spout, and lavatory faucet stub-out locations where the supply pipe needs to be anchored firmly and positioned perpendicular to the wall surface. The solder cup ends accept standard 1/2 inch copper tubing and are joined using standard sweat soldering methods. This SKU is sold in a package of 25 fittings, making it appropriate for rough-in plumbing work where multiple stub-outs are being installed in one job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Clean and flux all copper surfaces before sweating; ensure the pipe is fully seated in the solder cup before applying heat. Secure the mounting ears to solid framing or blocking to eliminate pipe movement at the fixture connection point.
