Product Identity
The Nibco U6072I is a wrot copper 90 degree intermediate radius elbow designed for plumbing drain systems. It connects a 5/8 inch tube fitting to a copper sweat joint in residential or light commercial installations.
Thermals, Noise and Power
The fitting handles temperatures from -20 to 400 degrees F and a maximum pressure of 631 psi at 100 degrees F. As a passive copper component it generates no noise and draws no power during normal operation.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous exposure to the rated temperature and pressure range the elbow maintains structural integrity per ASME/ANSI B 16.22. The intermediate radius geometry supports steady flow without deformation or fatigue at the specified limits.

Questions about this item
How is the 5/8 inch FTG x C wrot copper elbow installed, and which step is most often done incorrectly?
Clean both the tube end and the fitting socket, apply flux, insert the tube fully into the cup, then heat the joint evenly with a torch until solder flows completely around the cup; the step most often done incorrectly is insufficient heating, which leaves voids in the solder joint.
What maintenance or replacement will the 5/8 inch wrot copper elbow need after installation?
No scheduled maintenance is required; inspect joints periodically for corrosion or leaks, and replace the elbow only if physical damage, dezincification, or a failed solder joint is found during inspection.
At what pressure limit does the 5/8 inch elbow reach its maximum rating under sustained 100 degree Fahrenheit operation?
The elbow is rated for a maximum working pressure of 631 psi at 100 degrees Fahrenheit; sustained operation above this pressure exceeds the ASME/ANSI B16.22 rating.
