Legend Valve 110-165 1/2" S-438 Sweat Union Elbow accessory
A 1/2" bronze sweat union elbow for joining copper pipe at a right angle
- 1/2 in sweat connection enables direct copper-to-copper joint
- Bronze body resists corrosion in hot-water systems
- Union design allows quick disassembly for service
- Prop 65 notice confirms regulated chemical disclosure
- Model 110-165 S-438 identifies exact fitting specification
Copper Sweat Union Elbow
This 1/2 inch bronze fitting joins two copper pipes at a ninety-degree angle using sweat solder connections. The union design allows the joint to be disassembled for service or replacement without cutting the pipe. It suits residential and light-commercial hydronic heating installations.
Union Nut and Tailpiece Included
The fitting ships with the union nut and matching tailpiece so the installer can make the separable connection immediately. No additional coupling or adapter is required to complete the sweat joint. This reduces the number of separate components that must be sourced on site.
Half-Inch Nominal Size
The 1/2 inch nominal diameter determines compatibility with the pipe run and the system flow requirements. Verify that the piping specification calls for this exact size before purchase. Installers needing a different diameter or a threaded connection must select another fitting.

Questions about this item
How often should the bronze union elbow be inspected or replaced in a hydronic system?
Bronze sweat fittings typically last the life of the installation; inspect joints during annual boiler service and replace only if leakage or corrosion appears.
What pressure or temperature limit is reached first during continuous circulation?
The fitting is rated for standard hydronic pressures and temperatures; system relief valves and aquastats will trip before the elbow reaches its design limit.
Does the elbow generate noticeable heat or noise when the pump runs all day?
As a passive bronze fitting it adds no mechanical noise and only conducts the water temperature already present in the loop.
