Elbows

Elbows – End Feed Fittings are copper fittings designed to change the direction of a pipe run, typically at a 90° or 45° angle, using a soldered connection for a strong and reliable joint.

About Elbows – End Feed Fittings

End feed elbows allow for directional changes within copper pipe installations. Ideal for heating, hot and cold water systems, they are commonly used in tight spaces and when a clean, permanent joint is required. The fittings are secured using soldering, making them dependable and leak-resistant.

Available in a variety of angles and sizes, they are a popular choice for professional installers due to their compact design and long-term durability.

Installation & Technical Info

Clean and deburr the pipe ends before applying flux. Insert the pipe into the elbow fitting and heat evenly. Apply solder once the fitting reaches the correct temperature to ensure a complete and watertight joint.

Ensure adequate ventilation during soldering and avoid overheating to protect the material. After soldering, allow to cool, then wipe clean and pressure-test the system.
