1/2 in. copper 90° long-radius trap

The Nibco U6072LT is a wrot copper elbow designed for 1/2 in. tube connections in plumbing systems. It provides a 90-degree change of direction with a long-radius bend that promotes smooth flow. The fitting uses an FTG x C connection type and is rated for pressures up to 722 psi at 100°F.

Sweat joint preparation prevents leaks

Installation requires cleaning the tube end and fitting cup, applying flux, and sweating the joint with lead-free solder. The long-radius shape needs slightly more straight run than a short-radius elbow, so measure the layout before cutting. Overheating the copper can burn the flux and create voids that leak under pressure.

Verify tube size and pressure rating

Confirm the existing piping uses 1/2 in. nominal tube with a 5/8 in. outside diameter before ordering. Check that the system operating pressure and temperature stay within the 722 psi at 100°F limit and the -20°F to 400°F range. This fitting is not suited for applications requiring threaded or press connections.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the solder joint on the 1/2 in. copper elbow is sound after assembly?

Apply heat evenly until the solder melts and flows completely around the FTG x C connection; a continuous silver ring visible at both hubs confirms a leak-free joint.

What comes in the box and what must I supply for the 1/2 in. copper long-radius elbow?

The box contains the single wrot-copper U6072LT elbow; you must provide 1/2 in. copper tube, flux, lead-free solder and a propane or MAPP torch.

Which Nibco copper elbow should I choose for a 1/2 in. line needing a long-radius 90° turn?

Select the U6072LT model — it is the 1/2 in. FTG x C long-radius 90° elbow rated to 722 psi at 100 °F per ASME/ANSI B16.22.
