Sioux Chief 6162 Shower Lock Female Sweat Elbow

The Sioux Chief 6162 Shower Lock elbow is a female sweat (SWT) fitting built for shower arm and riser rough-in, giving plumbers a solder connection point that anchors securely behind the finished wall. The Shower Lock configuration is engineered to hold the fitting in position at rough-in so the shower arm outlet stays fixed through framing, blocking, tile, and trim-out, cutting down on callbacks for a loose or rotating shower arm connection down the road. Manufactured in Thailand and packaged 50 pieces per case, this elbow is sized for crews running multiple shower rough-ins across a single job or a multi-unit project, so the box covers a full day of installs without a supply-house run mid-job.

Key Features

  • Female Sweat Connection: A solder-style (SWT) female inlet accepts the branch or riser line for a standard soldered joint at rough-in.
  • Shower Lock Anchoring: The elbow's locking design holds the fitting to wall blocking so the shower arm outlet stays fixed in position through framing, tile, and finish work, rather than shifting once the wall is closed up.
  • Elbow Configuration: Redirects the supply line to the shower arm outlet in a single fitting, reducing the number of joints and solder connections needed behind the wall.
  • Rough-In Focused Design: Built specifically for the shower arm stub-out stage, so the fitting sits behind the finished wall and is not intended as a visible, finished-surface component.
  • Case-Packed Quantity: Packaged 50 EA per case, giving rough-in crews enough fittings on hand for multi-unit jobs without repeat trips to the supply house.
  • Country of Origin: Manufactured in Thailand.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds rough-in fittings that plumbing contractors rely on to stay put once the wall closes up, and the 6162 Shower Lock elbow carries that same job-site focus with its female sweat connection and locking elbow design. Because the fitting is engineered to hold its position at the shower arm stub-out, it helps crews avoid the repair calls that come with a shifted or wobbly shower arm connection after drywall and tile go in. Packaged 50 to a case, it is sized for crews outfitting multiple bathrooms from one order rather than buying one fitting at a time. Choose Sioux Chief for dependable, behind-the-wall plumbing components on your next shower rough-in.

Sioux Chief 6'16/2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What kind of connection does the Sioux Chief 6162 Shower Lock elbow use?
It's a female sweat (SWT) fitting, so the branch or riser line solders into the inlet. No threaded joint, no press tooling, just a standard soldered connection at rough-in.
2) Will the Sioux Chief 6162 keep the shower arm from rotating after the tile goes on?
That's the point of the Shower Lock design. The elbow locks to the wall blocking so the shower arm outlet holds its position through framing, drywall, tile, and trim-out instead of shifting once the wall is closed. It's the fix for callbacks on loose or rotating shower arm connections.
3) Can I use the 6162 Shower Lock elbow on a PEX or CPVC riser?
Not directly. The inlet is a female sweat socket, which means a soldered copper joint. If your riser is PEX or CPVC you'd need a transition fitting to copper ahead of it, or choose a Shower Lock elbow configured for that piping system instead.
4) Is the 6162 Shower Lock elbow a finished-surface part or does it go behind the wall?
Behind the wall. It's a rough-in fitting for the shower arm stub-out stage and is not meant to be visible once the wall is finished. The escutcheon and arm handle the exposed side.
5) How many Sioux Chief 6162 elbows come in a case?
50 each per case. That's sized for a crew running multiple shower rough-ins on one job or a multi-unit project, so you're not buying them one at a time or sending someone to the supply house mid-day.
6) Does the 6162 elbow replace a separate drop-ear elbow plus backing block in a shower rough-in?
It handles both jobs in one piece. The elbow redirects the supply to the shower arm outlet and anchors itself to blocking, so you cut a joint out of the assembly and get fewer solder connections buried behind the wall.
7) Is the Sioux Chief 6162 suitable for remodel work or only new construction?
Both. It's used on new construction bath and shower rough-ins, renovation and remodel work, and production multi-unit bathroom rough-in. The one requirement in a remodel is access to wall blocking to anchor it to, since that's how the locking feature does its work.
