Mueller W03044 1-1/8 x 1-1/8 Copper CxC 45 Elbow

The Mueller W03044 is a professional-grade 1-1/8 x 1-1/8 Copper CxC 45 Elbow designed for high-performance fluid handling in HVACR and potable water systems. Engineered from premium wrot copper (ASTM B75, UNS C12200), this 45-degree solder joint elbow provides a smooth transition to minimize pressure drop and turbulence compared to standard 90-degree bends. This 1-1/8 inch OD copper fitting is specifically built for pressurized aboveground water-supply systems and mechanical piping, ensuring a leak-proof Cup-by-Cup connection when properly sweat-soldered. Rated for a maximum working pressure of up to 700 psi and temperatures reaching 250°F, the Streamline W03044 maintains structural integrity under rigorous mechanical stress. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it the standard for contractors requiring long-term reliability in specialized air conditioning and refrigeration layouts. This fitting meets strict ASME B16.22 and NSF 61-G standards, confirming its suitability for lead-free applications and technical plumbing specifications.

• Optimal Flow Dynamics: The 45-degree angle reduces friction loss and hydraulic turbulence within the line.
• Industrial Durability: Wrot copper construction offers superior strength-to-weight ratio and natural antimicrobial properties.
• Precision Tolerance: Manufactured to ASME B16.22 standards for a consistent, tight fit during the brazing or soldering process.
• Wide Application Range: Fully compatible with various refrigerants and potable water, suitable for both residential and commercial mechanical sets.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the nominal size and the OD for this fitting?
For HVACR applications, this is a 1-1/8" OD fitting. In standard plumbing terms, it is referred to as a 1" nominal fitting. Always verify your tubing's outside diameter before installation.

Can the W03044 be used in high-pressure refrigeration lines?
Yes, this wrot copper elbow is rated for approximately 700 psi at standard operating temperatures, making it compatible with most modern high-pressure refrigerants when installed using industry-standard brazing techniques.

Is this elbow suitable for underground burial?
This specific fitting is optimized for aboveground pressurized systems. For below-ground applications, ensure local codes are followed regarding protection and soil acidity.
