Copper 90-degree intermediate radius elbow
This wrot copper fitting connects 3/4 inch nominal tube on both ends using a FTG-by-cup sweat joint. It is rated for air, gases and potable water systems up to 582 psi at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The intermediate radius bend changes flow direction smoothly without sharp turns.
Sustained pressure and temperature performance
The fitting withstands continuous operation at 582 psi and temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrot copper construction resists deformation under long-term thermal cycling and pressure stress. No degradation of the sweat joint integrity occurs within these rated limits.
Sweat joint installation constraints
A torch-heated sweat connection requires clean tube ends and compatible flux for a leak-free seal. The 7/8 inch outer diameter on each side matches standard 3/4 inch copper tube. Installation must follow local plumbing codes for potable water and gas applications.

Questions about this item
How does the wrot copper elbow handle heat when hot water runs through it all day?
The fitting is rated for continuous service up to 400 Degrees F, so it will not soften or leak under normal hot-water circulation temperatures.
What tools and materials must I already have to install this 90-degree street elbow?
You need a propane torch, lead-free solder, flux, emery cloth and two lengths of 3/4 in copper tube with 7/8 in outside diameter to sweat the FTG and cup ends.
Will this intermediate-radius elbow mate with the 3/4 in copper pipe already in my walls?
Yes, both ends are sized for 3/4 in nominal copper tube with a 7/8 in outside diameter, matching standard residential plumbing already in place.
