Value Collection BDNA-15818 Wrot Copper 90 Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15818 is a wrot copper 90-degree elbow fitting designed for sweat-connection plumbing assemblies. It accepts 1/2-inch copper tubing on both ends using a copper-to-copper (C x C) end connection, making it a standard component in residential and light commercial water distribution and hydronic systems. Wrot copper construction provides the pressure integrity and solderability that plumbers rely on for permanent, leak-free joints. This elbow is used wherever a 90-degree directional change is required in a copper pipe run, including supply lines, drain-waste-vent tie-ins, and radiant heating loops.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving 1/2-inch copper pipe. Typical install scenarios include domestic hot and cold water supply rough-ins, baseboard heating supply and return piping, and in-wall or under-slab copper runs where a 90-degree turn is required. The C x C ends are sized for standard 1/2-inch Type K, L, or M copper tubing and are prepared for sweat soldering with standard plumbing flux and lead-free solder per applicable codes.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for high-strength, pressure-rated sweat joints
• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in copper pipe runs
• C x C end connections compatible with standard 1/2-inch copper tubing
• 5/8-inch outside diameter on both ends matches standard 1/2-inch nominal copper tube sizing
• Suitable for lead-free solder applications in potable water systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2-inch nominal copper pipe systems using sweat (solder) end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or sweating any fitting. Clean tubing ends and fitting cups with emery cloth and apply lead-free flux before soldering. Do not overheat the fitting during soldering, as excessive heat can damage the copper or cause flux to carbonize inside the joint.
