Nibco E044200 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does Ftg x C mean on the Nibco 806-2 DWV 45-degree elbow?
Ftg x C means one end is a male fitting end (street end) sized to slip into a solder cup, and the other end is a female solder cup that accepts copper DWV tube. So the 806-2 goes straight into another fitting's socket on one side and over the tube on the other, which saves you a coupling when you need a 45 right off a hub.
2) Can I use this Nibco 45-degree elbow on a pressure water line?
No. The 806-2 is a DWV fitting, made for drain, waste and vent copper systems only. DWV fittings have thinner walls and are not rated for pressurized supply. For a hot or cold water line you need a pressure-rated wrought or cast copper solder elbow, not a DWV one.
3) What size pipe does the Nibco 806-2 DWV elbow fit?
It is made for 4 inch copper DWV tube. The cup end takes 4 inch tube and the fitting end drops into a 4 inch socket, so it suits main stacks and 4 inch building drains.
4) Is the Nibco 806-2 elbow a 1/8 bend?
Yes. The 806-2 is a 45 degree bend, which the trade calls a 1/8 bend on DWV drawings. It is a straight size elbow, so both ends are the same nominal size, with no reduction through the turn.
5) What is the Nibco 806-2 elbow made of and will it hold up in aggressive water?
The body is cast bronze, ASTM B584 alloy C84400, and it is dezincification resistant, which is what matters where water chemistry attacks the zinc in brass fittings. Material and workmanship follow ASME B16.23.
6) Do I need to solder this Nibco DWV elbow, or is there a press option?
Solder only. Both ends of the 806-2 are solder connections, so the joint gets cleaned, fluxed and soldered in the usual way. There is no press or threaded end on this fitting.
7) Is the Nibco 806-2 acceptable for commercial work or is it residential only?
Both. The 806-2 is used in commercial and residential plumbing DWV systems, and the fitting is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility. Confirm your local code accepts copper DWV for the run you are piping.
8) What is the Nibco part number for the 4 inch 806-2 elbow?
The 4 inch Nibco 806-2 DWV 45 degree Ftg x C elbow is MPN E044200. That is the number to quote if you are matching an existing submittal or reordering to match what is already in the stack.
