1 inch Copper 45 Degree Press Elbow Copper x Copper

1" Copper 45° Press Elbow – Designed for Secure, Efficient Transitions

The 1" Copper 45° Press Elbow provides a durable and code-compliant solution for redirecting piping in tight installations. Built for use in potable water, hydronic heating, and other low-pressure systems, this press fitting ensures smooth directional changes while maintaining system integrity and reducing installation time.

Key Advantages

• ✅ Press Connection System – Eliminates the need for soldering, reducing labor time and eliminating open flames on the job site.
• ✅ Lead-Free Copper – Manufactured from ASTM B75 or B88 copper, fully compliant with NSF 61 and NSF 372 for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Reliable Sealing Mechanism – Features EPDM sealing elements that ensure a watertight, vibration-resistant seal under normal operating conditions.
• ✅ Consistent Fit – Engineered to maintain tight tolerances for uniform flow and structural stability in copper piping networks.

Installation Notes

Designed for use with standard copper tubing (Type K, L, or M), this fitting must be installed using an appropriate press tool with manufacturer-approved jaws. Always verify alignment and cleanliness of the pipe and fitting ends before pressing. The fitting should be used in systems operating at a maximum pressure of 200 PSI and up to 250°F when using compatible EPDM seals.

Application Uses

Common in both residential and commercial systems, this elbow is ideal for plumbing layouts that require angled transitions, such as around framing obstructions or when maintaining slope in horizontal runs. Suitable for hot and cold potable water, chilled water, and low-pressure hydronic systems.
