A.C.R. Copper 90° Elbow – Short Radius, Male × Female (Street)

The A.C.R. copper 90° street elbow has one female end (C), which takes the tube, and one male end (FTG), which has the outside diameter of a tube and fits directly into another fitting. The result: no piece of tube between two fittings, and one less brazed joint.

One less joint when two fittings follow each other

To make a tight offset with two regular elbows, you have to cut a short piece of tube and braze it at both ends. With a street elbow, the male side goes straight into the next elbow, a tee or a coupling. The assembly is more compact, quicker to make and has one less joint to check during the pressure test.

Six diameters, from 3/8 in to 1-1/8 in

This short-radius elbow is available for tubing of 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8 and 1-1/8 in outside diameter. The male side has the same outside diameter as the tube of the selected size.

Short radius or long radius

• Short radius: the tightest turn, for confined spaces.
• Long radius: a wider bend, less pressure drop, available from 1/2 to 1-5/8 in.

Good practices

Clean the inside of the female end and the outside of the male side, push in until fully seated, then braze under a light flow of dry nitrogen. Work on a refrigerant circuit is reserved for a qualified refrigeration technician.
