The 90-degree elbow features solder cups and a close rough radius. The fitting provides a means of changing the pipeline direction 90 degrees. It is used when velocity is not a problem. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. In addition to its inherent qualities of beauty, durability and low maintenance, copper's reusability makes it an ideal application in sustainable projects. NIBCO® copper fittings are manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility, and backed by a 50-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco NBC-607 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Nibco 607 elbow work on a medical gas or med-vac line?
Yes. The Nibco 607 wrot copper 90-degree elbow is listed for med-gas service and the fitting line conforms to NFPA 99 Health Care Facilities Gas and Vacuum Systems and Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet G4.1. For that work order the Cleaned and Bagged version, which comes degreased and sealed for oxygen and medical gas systems. Cleaned and Bagged is offered in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 1/2 x 3/8, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 4 and 5 inch. The plain Wrot version is not cleaned for med-gas use.
2) Is the Nibco 607 elbow lead free and approved for potable water?
Yes. The 607 wrot copper elbow is lead-free and certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372, which is the drinking water certification, and it is dezincification resistant. It is listed for both residential and commercial potable plumbing.
3) Do I solder this elbow or can I press it?
Solder only. Both ends of the Nibco 607 are solder cups (C x C), so the pipe slips inside the fitting and gets sweated with solder or brazed. There is no press ring or O-ring, and no threads. If your job calls for press, you need a press-style copper elbow instead, not this one.
4) What is the difference between the Wrot and Cleaned and Bagged versions of the Nibco 607 elbow?
Same wrot copper fitting, different packaging and preparation. The standard Wrot elbow is the everyday plumbing and HVAC fitting. The Cleaned and Bagged version is cleaned and individually sealed so it stays contaminant free until it goes in the line, which is what medical gas, oxygen and compressed air work calls for. Wrot alone covers 1/8 through 8 inch including the 3/4 x 1/2, 1 x 3/4, 1 x 1/2 and 2 x 1-1/2 reducing sizes; Cleaned and Bagged tops out at 5 inch.
5) What copper alloy is the Nibco 607 elbow, and does it meet ASME B16.22?
Wrot copper, ASTM B75 alloy C12200, with material and workmanship per ASME B16.22 and material, workmanship and dimensions per MSS SP-104. The 5 through 8 inch sizes also conform to MSS SP-109. That is the standard spec engineers call out for wrot copper solder pressure fittings on a commercial drawing.
6) Is a close rough 90-degree elbow the right choice, or should I use a long radius elbow?
Close rough is the short radius elbow, and it is the right pick when you just need to turn the line 90 degrees in a tight space and flow velocity is not a concern. It is a 1/4 bend. Where velocity is high enough that turbulence, noise or erosion matters, a long radius (long turn) elbow is the better fitting because the sweep is gentler. Most branch and riser work in residential and commercial plumbing uses the close rough.
7) Can I use a Nibco 607 copper elbow on a fire protection or compressed air line?
Yes on both. Listed systems for the 607 elbow include fire protection, compressed air, HVAC, heating, industrial and irrigation, alongside residential and commercial plumbing. Select diameters are UL 207 Recognized to 700 PSI. For compressed air and any oxygen-clean service, order the Cleaned and Bagged version.
8) How do I order the right Nibco 607 elbow by part number?
Two things to specify: pipe size and whether you want plain Wrot or Cleaned and Bagged. The Cleaned and Bagged part numbers are the Wrot number with CB on the end, so 1/2 inch Wrot is 9055450 and 1/2 inch Cleaned and Bagged is 9055450CB. Common sizes run 9055450 (1/2), 9055600 (3/4), 9055750 (1), 9055950 (1-1/4), 9056150 (1-1/2) and 9056400 (2). Large sizes are Wrot only above 5 inch: 9057400 for 6 inch, 9057500 for 8 inch.
9) Do these Nibco elbows come in the small tubing sizes for instrument or refrigeration runs?
Yes, the 607 goes down to 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch, which is smaller than most copper elbow lines carry. Those two are Wrot solder cup, part numbers 9055200 for 1/8 inch and 9055250 for 1/4 inch, with a Cleaned and Bagged 1/4 inch (9055250CB) if the line needs to be clean. Sizing is by nominal copper tube size, not OD.
