It was on a hot water line, as in hot water, not cold. House was huge, so the hot lines ran a circulation pump back to the tank to keep hot water in them at all times. No waiting for hot water that way. Only had to travel from the already warm line up the wall to the fixture.
Gotcha. I read it as the elbow blew off because the pipe wasn't reamed out.. couldn't figure out why that would happen. Caused a pinhole leak from not reaming it out, yup.
