Description
The Copper Long Radius Street Elbow, offering a 90-degree bend, 3/8-inch Copper to Copper (C x C) connections, and available in sets of 5, is a versatile and essential plumbing component designed to facilitate precise directional changes and connections within copper piping systems.
Long Radius Street Elbows are vital for efficiently navigating and redirecting the flow of fluids within plumbing configurations. The 90-degree bend is a standard angle that allows for right-angle turns, making it suitable for a variety of plumbing applications, from water supply lines to hydronic heating systems.
The 3/8-inch sizing of this Street Elbow is a common dimension in plumbing, compatible with standard copper pipes and fittings. Copper, renowned for its corrosion resistance, durability, and heat-conducting properties, is a preferred material for plumbing components. This ensures that the Elbow is not only reliable but also contributes to the longevity and efficiency of plumbing systems.
The Street Elbow design is particularly useful when making connections or directional changes in tight or confined spaces. The "C x C" designation signifies that both ends of the Elbow feature Copper to Copper connections, which can be easily soldered or brazed for secure, leak-free joints. This construction simplifies installation while ensuring the integrity of the plumbing system.
When purchasing a package of 5 Copper Long Radius Street Elbows, you not only ensure you have the necessary components for your current project but also have extras available for future needs. This bulk packaging reduces the need for frequent trips to the hardware store and provides cost savings for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts.
Installation of these Street Elbows is straightforward. Proper techniques, such as the use of flux and a propane torch, are typically employed to ensure that the Copper to Copper connections are securely joined, creating durable and watertight joints.
