Copper 90-degree long-radius elbow with smooth metallic finish

Nibco, Inc.

Nibco, Inc. 60722LT 1 in Copper 90 Degree Long Radius Elbow

SKU CH-E8RP-XFWSM

A 1-inch wrot copper 90-degree long radius elbow rated for 395 psi at 200 degrees F and 400 degrees F maximum temperature

  • Smooth flow changes with 90-degree long-radius design
  • Reliable joints for air, gases and potable water
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in plumbing systems
  • Rated to 395 psi at 200 degrees F for demanding service
  • Withstands temperatures up to 400 degrees F in hot-water lines

Copper Sweat Elbow for 1 in Lines

The NIBCO 60722LT is a wrot copper 90 degree long radius elbow designed for sweat connections on 1 in copper tube. It suits plumbing and mechanical contractors joining air, gas or potable water lines in residential and light commercial systems. Both ends are FTG type with a 1 1/8 in outer diameter for direct tube insertion.

Pressure Rating and Temperature Limits

The fitting carries a maximum operating pressure of 395 psi at 200 degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 400 degrees F. The long radius bend reduces flow restriction and turbulence compared with short radius alternatives, helping maintain system efficiency. Copper construction provides corrosion resistance without requiring external power or moving parts.

Replaces Short Radius or Threaded Elbows

Installers upgrading from short radius elbows gain smoother flow paths and lower pressure drop in the same footprint. The sweat joint eliminates threaded connections that can loosen under vibration or thermal cycling. The jump is worthwhile when system design calls for reduced friction loss and a permanent, leak resistant joint on 1 in copper tube.

Questions about this item

How do I sweat the 1 in long-radius elbow without overheating the joint?

Clean both 1 1/8 in tube ends and the fitting sockets, apply flux, insert tubes fully, then heat evenly with a propane or MAPP torch until solder flows into the cup; the long-radius bend needs extra heat time, so keep the flame moving to avoid burning the flux.

Will the copper elbow need any scheduled replacement or internal maintenance?

No internal maintenance is required; the wrot copper body resists corrosion in potable water, air and gas systems, so the fitting remains in service until the piping system is altered or a leak appears at a solder joint.

At what temperature does the 395 psi pressure rating start to drop off?

The 395 psi rating is specified at 200 °F; above that temperature the allowable pressure decreases until the maximum operating limit of 400 °F is reached.
