Nibco Inc W06285T 5/8 in Cxc Long Radius 90 Copper Elbow 50pk

Product Description

The NIBCO INC W06285T is a 5/8-inch copper-to-copper (CxC) long-radius 90-degree elbow fitting designed for sweat-solder plumbing connections. The long-turn radius reduces turbulence and flow restriction at direction changes compared to standard short-radius elbows. Both ends feature solder cups for standard torch-and-solder installation. The fitting is lead-free, meeting current potable water requirements under NSF and applicable plumbing codes. This package contains 50 individual fittings, making it suitable for larger jobs or shop stocking. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of copper sweat fitting.

This elbow is used wherever a 90-degree pipeline direction change is required in a 5/8-inch copper tubing system. Common applications include residential and light commercial domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and refrigeration or cooling coil line sets. The long-radius design is preferred in systems where minimizing pressure drop or accommodating higher flow velocity is important. Sold in a package of 50 units, the fitting is well suited for mechanical contractors, plumbing wholesalers, and service companies that need consistent stock on hand.

Key Features

• Long-radius 90-degree turn reduces turbulence and pressure loss at direction changes
• Solder cup ends on both sides for standard CxC sweat connections
• Lead-free construction meets potable water and low-lead compliance requirements
• 5/8-inch nominal size fits standard 5/8-inch copper tubing
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for job-lot purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat-solder replacement fitting compatible with standard 5/8-inch copper tubing used in residential and commercial water supply and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed or qualified plumber using standard copper sweat-solder tools including a pipe cutter, fitting brush, flux, solder, and a torch. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before cutting into existing piping. Follow local plumbing codes, which typically reference IPC or UPC standards, for approved solder alloys and flux types on potable water systems. Allow joints to cool fully before restoring water pressure or insulating the line.
