Value Collection BDNA-15849 Copper 90 Elbow 1/2 Inch Cxc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15849 is a wrot copper 90 degree elbow fitting designed for sweat-connect copper pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. With a 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch cup-by-cup (C x C) end connection, this elbow transitions flow direction at a right angle while maintaining a leak-tight solder joint. Wrot copper construction provides superior grain structure compared to cast fittings, resulting in stronger joints and consistent wall thickness throughout the fitting body. Licensed plumbers and HVAC mechanics install this type of fitting in both new construction and repair applications.

This 90 degree elbow is suited for residential and light commercial water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, refrigerant line assemblies, and general mechanical piping where a soldered copper joint is required. The C x C configuration accepts standard 1/2 inch copper tubing on both ends and is compatible with Type K, L, and M copper pipe. Typical applications include rerouting supply lines around obstacles, connecting fixtures, and assembling coil or loop piping segments.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for dense grain structure and strong soldered joints
• 90 degree elbow geometry for right-angle direction changes in copper piping runs
• Cup-by-cup (C x C) end connection on both ports accepts standard 1/2 inch copper tubing
• 5/8 inch outside diameter on each port end consistent with 1/2 inch nominal copper fitting standards
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for tight spaces and overhead runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting compatible with standard 1/2 inch nominal copper tubing including Type K, L, and M wall designations per ASTM standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC mechanic following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the affected pipe section before cutting or fitting. Clean tubing ends and fitting cups with emery cloth, apply flux evenly, and solder with a lead-free solder alloy in compliance with local potable water codes. Do not apply heat to the fitting without flux present, and never solder near pressurized or wet lines.
