Nibco Inc W01600T 1/2 in Cxc 90 Degree Long Radius Elbow

Product Description

The NIBCO INC W01600T is a 1/2-inch copper-by-copper (CxC) 90-degree long-radius elbow fitting designed for soldered copper piping systems. It features solder cups on both ends for a standard sweat connection and a long-turn radius that reduces turbulence and pressure drop at the directional change. The fitting is manufactured lead-free, making it compliant with potable water installation requirements. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a 90-degree pipeline direction change is needed in a copper water supply or hydronic system. The package contains 50 fittings sold as a single unit of measure.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including domestic hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and similar copper tube systems requiring a 90-degree change in direction. The long-radius design is preferred in installations where maintaining flow velocity and minimizing friction loss at the elbow is a priority. Supplied in a 50-piece pack, it is practical for contractors working on multi-fixture rough-ins or recurring service work.

Key Features

• Long-turn radius reduces flow restriction and pressure drop compared to standard-radius elbows
• Solder cup ends accept standard 1/2-inch copper tubing for a sweat-soldered joint
• Lead-free construction meets potable water code requirements
• CxC connection on both ends for all-copper system compatibility
• Packaged in a 50-piece quantity for job-site efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch copper tube (CxC) plumbing systems using sweat solder connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean tube ends and fitting cups with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering; follow ASTM B828 and local plumbing code requirements for joint preparation and solder material. Use a lead-free solder when installing in potable water systems to maintain code compliance.
