I am building a steam room. Need to connect copper pipe to a steam generator to deliver steam to a steam room.
The length of copper pipe as 10 ft with three elbows.
Would sweat joint hold?

How hot is the steam and at what pressure?

Yes, you can use copper for steam delivery. Use "rolled" copper to eliminate sharp turns and sweat joints.

Just to add to confirmation... yes, copper tubing will work. Soft copper (type L) as suggested by Milo is probably best, but I've seen 20 or so steam generator installations and installed 6 or 7 of them and used regular copper 90s and have never had or seen any problems as a result. Proceed as planned!
