Nibco Inc W01430T 90 Degree Elbow 1/4 Inch Cxc

Product Description

The NIBCO INC W01430T is a 1/4 inch copper solder elbow fitting designed to redirect a pipeline 90 degrees. It features solder cups and a close rough radius, making it a standard choice for tight copper tubing runs in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications. The fitting is lead-free, meeting current potable water requirements. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of copper pipe systems where direction changes are required. Sold in a package of 5 units, each fitting weighs approximately 0.05 pounds.

This fitting is used in copper tubing systems requiring a 90-degree directional change in 1/4 inch line sizes. The CxC (copper-by-copper) end connections are designed for sweat soldering, making it suitable for refrigerant lines, potable water lines, and other copper piping systems where a clean, low-profile turn is needed. The close rough radius keeps the fitting compact, which is useful in tight spaces common in equipment rooms and mechanical chases.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow redirects pipeline direction in copper tubing systems
• CxC solder cup connections for sweat-soldered joints
• Close rough radius design for compact installation in tight spaces
• Lead-free construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• Sold in a package of 5 fittings per unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch copper tubing systems using CxC sweat solder connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians using standard sweat soldering tools including a torch, flux, and lead-free solder. Shut off and depressurize the line and ensure the pipe and fitting surfaces are clean and properly fluxed before applying heat. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for copper solder joint assembly. Do not overheat the fitting, as excess heat can damage the cup geometry and compromise joint integrity.
