Frequently Asked Questions

What is a NIBCO sweat fitting elbow used for?

The NIBCO U7073-1/2 is a cast copper sweat fitting elbow with a 1/2 in CTS cup end and 1/2 in FNPT threaded end. It features a drop-ear configuration for rigid mounting. The cup x FNPT connection allows transition from solder to threaded pipe.
