View Full Version : 180 degree copper elbow?

I was wondering if anyone makes a 180 degree copper elbow. I want to run a length of 1/2 inch copper pipe back next to itself (if that makes since.) Using two 90 degree elbows keeps the two pipes too far apart. I want them to run next to each other. I thought of using soft copper pipe but didn't know if I could make a sharp enough bend. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hey Hooper,

Yes, they do make a copper return bend, (see image) if you can't find a return bend you can make your own using a 1/2" copper elbo and a 1/2" copper street ell.
If you want the pipes still closer then that you can take two 1/2" street 45s and offset the direction inward.

Good luck, Tom
