Copper 45° elbow for 3/8" tube

The NIBCO C606 is a wrot-copper 45-degree elbow designed for C x C solder joints on 3/8-inch nominal tube with a 1/2-inch outside diameter. It is rated for 779 psi at 100 °F and operates from -20 °F to 400 °F, meeting ASME/ANSI B16.22. Plumbers and HVAC technicians use it to change direction in water, gas or refrigerant lines.

Suits copper systems needing a 45° turn

This fitting suits installers joining 3/8-inch copper tube in residential or light-commercial plumbing, heating or cooling circuits where a 45-degree offset is required. It does not suit systems using larger tube sizes, different fitting angles, press or push-to-connect connections, or materials other than copper.

Pressure rating 779 psi at 100 °F

The maximum working pressure of 779 psi at 100 °F is the key figure for deciding whether this elbow matches the design pressure of the piping system. Verify that the operating pressure and temperature stay within the -20 °F to 400 °F range before specifying the part.

Questions about this item

Does the wrot copper elbow handle continuous hot-water flow without softening or leaking at the rated 779 psi and 400 °F limit?

The fitting is rated for 779 psi at 100 °F and a temperature range up to 400 °F, so it will not soften or leak within those continuous-service limits.

What pipe size and solder alloy do I need to join this C x C elbow to my existing copper lines?

It accepts 3/8 in nominal tube with a 1/2 in outside diameter, so standard 3/8 in copper tube and lead-free plumbing solder make the joint.

Will this ASME B16.22 elbow mate cleanly with 20-year-old 3/8 in copper tubing already in the wall?

Yes — the C606 follows ASME/ANSI B16.22 dimensions, matching the OD and socket depth of legacy 3/8 in copper tube for a direct solder connection.
