Nibco E055550 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Nibco 807 elbow solder onto copper pipe, or does it thread?
It solders. Both ends are C x C, meaning female solder cups that slip over the outside of copper tube and are sweated with solder. There are no threads on this fitting, so if your line terminates in threaded pipe you need a separate adapter.
2) Can I use the Nibco 807 elbow on a pressure water line?
No. The 807 is a DWV fitting, built for drain, waste and vent service only. DWV fittings have thinner walls than pressure copper fittings and are not rated for supply piping. For domestic water use a pressure-rated copper fitting instead.
3) What pipe sizes does the Nibco 807 DWV elbow come in, and are there reducing versions?
Four configurations: 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 inch, 2 x 1-1/2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch. The first two are reducing elbows, so they change direction and step the line down in one fitting. The 3 inch and 4 inch are straight size on both ends.
4) Is the Nibco 807 DWV elbow a full 90-degree bend or a sweep?
The Nibco 807 is a 90 degree elbow, also called a 1/4 bend in drainage terms. It changes the direction of a DWV line by a quarter turn and has solder cups on both ends.
5) Which Nibco part number do I order for a 3 inch DWV 90 elbow?
For a 3 inch straight 90, the part number is E055550. The 4 inch is E055650, the 2 x 1-1/2 inch reducing elbow is E055450, and the 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 inch is E055350.
6) Is this Nibco DWV elbow acceptable for a commercial building, or is it residential only?
Both. The 807 is listed for commercial and residential plumbing, and workmanship and materials conform to ASME B16.23, the standard for cast copper alloy DWV fittings. That is the spec inspectors and engineers typically call out on drainage drawings.
7) Do I need a separate reducer if I'm going from 2 inch to 1-1/2 inch at a turn?
Not with the 2 x 1-1/2 inch version of the 807. That elbow takes 2 inch copper tube on one cup and 1-1/2 inch on the other, so the turn and the size change happen in a single soldered fitting. Same idea with the 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 inch.
8) What is the Nibco 807 elbow actually made of? Is it copper or brass?
It is a cast bronze fitting, ASTM B584 alloy C84400, and it is dezincification resistant. That is normal for cast DWV fittings in the larger sizes, and it solders to copper tube the same way a wrought copper fitting does.
