A copper elbow is frequently used in pressurized applications and is available in various shapes and sizes for use in different applications. The copper elbow is a fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually in the 90° or 45° direction.
Copper elbows are usually constructed at a bend of 45 degree or 90 degree. There are some manufacturers who can also manufacture pipe elbows with a selectable angle. So there are options in a 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 bend or any bend in between. This becomes an easy-to-use two-piece copper elbow that can be cut and assembled to virtually any angle. This unique kind of copper elbow is very flexible and convenient to handle. Such elbows come complete with a two-piece selectable angle elbow, angle measuring templates and installation instructions. This type pipe elbow can also be called custom made copper elbow.
