Copper street elbows ?

[iaith]

I picked up some copper street elbows by mistake, I can't really see any point in them. Does anyone use them, and what are they used for?
Cheers. Mark.

tight bends, lack of room etc..

If they are Delcop, their street 135°+ street 90°+ Talon clips = instant neat crossover

Thanks for the replies fellas. I like the crossover idea, tho I'll have to go out and get some 135 degree elbows now.

I always use 45° elbows.

love street elbows, nothing better when you very tight neat pipework. also have some 135degree street elbows. not found a good use for them yet but always good to have to hand.

I was taught how to form my own cross overs with a pipe bender.

I use street elbows to go over plain copper and into flaired chrome plated copper when coming up/down in a partition wall and then out for say a towel rail, it's easier than trying to get rid of the chrome plating.

Thanks for all your replies fellas. I now have a new respect for the street elbow.
