Copper 60-degree DWV elbow, sweat fitting, 1-1/2 inch tube size

Nibco, Inc.

Nibco, Inc. 960 1-1/2" Copper 60 Degree DWV Elbow

SKU CH-WWC1-G4F3V

Connects 1-1/2 inch copper waste lines at a 60-degree angle with sweat cup ends, rated to 400 °F and 5 psi, meeting ASME B16.29 and ASTM B75 standards

  • 60-degree sweep guides waste flow smoothly
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in DWV systems
  • ASME B16.29 and ASTM B75 compliance ensures code acceptance
  • Sweat cup connections fit 1-1/2 in copper tube directly
  • Rated for 400 °F and 5 psi maximum operating conditions

Sweat Fitting Elbow for Waste Lines

The Nibco 960 copper elbow connects two 1 1/2 inch copper tubes at a 60 degree angle for DWV applications. It uses sweat cup connections on both ends and is made from wrot copper. The fitting meets ASME B16.29 and ASTM B75 standards.

Sustained Pressure and Temperature Behaviour

Rated for a maximum operating pressure of 5 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 400 degrees F, the elbow maintains its seal under continuous low-pressure drainage flow. The wrot copper construction resists corrosion from waste line contents over long service periods.

Installation and Common Issues

Sweat soldering requires clean tube ends, flux, and even heat to form a leak-free joint. Insufficient cleaning or overheating can cause voids or copper degradation. The 60 degree bend offers less directional change than a 90 degree elbow, so verify the piping layout matches this angle.

Questions about this item

Does the 60-degree DWV elbow transmit vibration or heat from a 400-degree waste line?

The wrot copper body conducts heat from fluid up to 400 degrees F, so insulation is recommended for long runs; vibration is minimal because the swept 60-degree bend reduces turbulence compared with sharper elbows.

What tube size and joint preparation are required to sweat this fitting?

Both ends accept 1-1/2 inch nominal copper tube with a 1-5/8 inch outside diameter; clean the tube and fitting cups, apply flux, then solder with a standard propane or MAPP torch.

Will the ASME B16.29 elbow mate with older copper DWV pipe measured in imperial sizes?

Yes, the fitting follows ASME B16.29 and ASTM B75, which cover the same 1-1/2 inch nominal dimensions used on legacy copper waste systems.
