  • 90-degree elbow routes copper tubing around obstacles
  • FTG x C connection joins tube to fitting directly

1-1/2" Copper 90 Degree Elbow

The NIBCO 6072 fitting connects 1-1/2 inch copper tubing in a 90-degree direction change using a wrot copper body. It suits plumbers and HVAC technicians who need a reliable FTG x C joint for water or hydronic systems. The ASME/ANSI B 16.22 listing confirms compliance with recognised piping standards.

Sustained pressure performance

Rated for 408 psi at 100 degrees F, the elbow maintains its seal during continuous system pressure rather than only brief test spikes. The copper construction resists internal corrosion, so flow capacity remains stable over long service periods. No degradation is expected within the published temperature envelope.

Thermal range and power draw

Operating from -20 to 400 degrees F, the fitting handles freezing conditions and high-temperature hydronic loops without softening or cracking. Copper’s thermal conductivity distributes heat evenly across the joint, preventing local hot spots. As a passive component it draws no power and adds no noise to the installation.

Questions about this item

How hot can the 6072 elbow get before it exceeds its 400 degrees F limit?

The fitting is rated for continuous service up to 400 degrees F and down to -20 degrees F, so it handles typical hot-water and low-pressure steam lines without softening.

What pipe and tools are required to install the FTG x C connection on this elbow?

You need 1-1/2 inch nominal copper tube, a tubing cutter, emery cloth, lead-free solder and flux; the FTG end inserts into another fitting while the C end slips over the tube.

Will the 1-5/8 inch outside diameter match the 1-1/2 inch copper pipe already in my system?

Yes, 1-1/2 inch nominal copper tube has a 1-5/8 inch OD, so the C end of this elbow slides directly onto your existing pipe for a standard solder joint.
