what size and style? If it is butt weld you half the pipe size 3 times and take the 2nd and 4th number and add together. 6 inch example below....
1] 6"
2] 3" add this
3] 1 1/2"
4] 3/4" and this................so 6 inch 45 would be 3 3/4"
you also can use this formula.. pipe size times 0.625 [ 5/8 ]

A pipe wrench works best.
If it is 3 in. Then take off 3 in. and so on for what ever size you are use if it is 2 in. then 2 in.
It is the measurement of fittings for piping. It is the measurement of fittings for piping.
For 90 degree fittings divide the diameter by 2 then add quotion to original diameter for 45 degree fittings multiply .625 X the diameter on 3r 45's multiply .625X diameter then X 2
The take off formula of a 45 degree elbow pipe, will depend on what the pipe is on. Sometimes a 45 degree pipe will need a 90 degree right angle turn to come off.

It's your pipe size multiplied by 1.5
Take either an SOS pad or a wire brush and rough up both the inside of the brass fitting and outside of copper pipe, put the copper pipe into the fitting and solder around it.
There is no one formula for fitting take offs. The general rule used for gal and black malleable fittings is on a center to center measurement to take off the ID of the pipe you are using on each end of the pipe. Example if center to center measurement is 10 feet between a 1 inch tee and a 1 inch 90 ell. The end to end measurement would be minus 2 inches for a total of 9 foot 10 inches. If you are a industrial pipe fitter there is a pipe fitters blue book that covers all this and a lot more,but the formula we use is take the size of the fitting and break it down 4 times add the second and forth dimension together and there's your take off,ex. 10 inch 45 degree carbon steel would be like this,,,,,10-5- 2.5-11/4=6 1/4 take out.......
Measure to the center of the Ell and decuct for the threads ..
