Copper 90° Elbow for Small Lines

The NIBCO U6072 is a wrought-copper 90-degree close rough elbow designed for 3/8-inch nominal tube. It joins a fitting-end connection on one side to a sweat cup on the other for air, gas or potable-water systems. Plumbers and HVAC technicians use it where a tight directional change is required in compact copper piping.

Pressure and Temperature Performance

The elbow is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 779 psi at 100 degrees F and withstands temperatures up to 400 degrees F. These limits apply to sustained service conditions rather than momentary spikes. The wrought-copper construction maintains joint integrity through repeated thermal cycles in heating or cooling circuits.

Thermal Behaviour and Installation

Copper conducts heat rapidly, so the fitting reaches fluid temperature quickly during normal operation. No external power or moving parts are involved, so the component adds no noise to the system. Sweat soldering creates a permanent, leak-free joint without the need for mechanical fasteners or gaskets.

Questions about this item

Does the copper elbow generate any noise, heat or draw power when it is running all day?

The elbow is a passive copper fitting with no moving parts, so it produces no noise, generates no heat and consumes no power during continuous use.

What pipe or tube must I already have on site for the U6072 to connect properly?

You need 3/8 inch nominal copper tubing with a 1/2 inch outer diameter on both the FTG and cup ends to make the sweat joints.

Will the 779 psi rating at 100 Degrees F hold up if I join this elbow to older copper pipe already in the wall?

Yes, the fitting is rated for 779 psi at 100 Degrees F and 400 Degrees F maximum temperature, matching standard copper plumbing specifications.
