Copper 90 Wing back Elbow - Products
A copper 90 wing back elbow, also called a drop-ear elbow, has mounting ears that screw to a wall stud or backer board, anchoring a threaded stub-out solidly for a shower arm, wall faucet or tub spout. Moonshine Bath stocks copper wing back 90 elbows in common sizes with female threads on the outlet.
The ears keep the stub-out rigid so the fixture stays put. Each fitting ships free across the USA, Canada and Mexico, dispatches within 24 hours on weekday orders before 2 PM EST, and carries our price match plus 10 percent beat guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drop-ear or wing back elbow used for?
It anchors a threaded stub-out to wall framing so a shower arm or wall-mounted faucet has a solid, immovable connection. The mounting ears are screwed to a stud or backer behind the finished wall.
Does a wing back elbow have threads?
Yes. The outlet is female-threaded (FIP) to receive a shower arm or fixture nipple, while the inlet is a solder cup that joins to the copper supply.
