1-1/2 inch Carbon Steel Water Press 45 Degree Street Elbow Press x Fitting

1-1/2 Inch Carbon Steel Press 45° Street Elbow – Press x Spigot Connection

The 1-1/2 inch carbon steel press 45-degree street elbow (press x spigot) is designed to facilitate directional changes in press-fit water systems while minimizing component count. Its spigot end allows direct insertion into another fitting, reducing the need for additional couplings and simplifying alignment in space-constrained applications.

Functional Design and Performance Characteristics

Manufactured from carbon steel, this elbow supports high-pressure system requirements and offers structural integrity over extended service life. It is compatible with potable and mechanical water systems that utilize press-joint technology.

• ✅ Street Elbow Configuration Allows direct fitting-to-fitting connections, ideal for compact installations and pre-assembled segments.
• ✅ Press-Fit End Engineered for consistent sealing with calibrated press tools; ensures uniform crimping around the connection zone.
• ✅ Gradual 45-Degree Bend Reduces flow resistance and provides hydraulic efficiency at transitional junctions.

Installation Guidance

Use only approved press tools with compatible jaw sizes for this fitting. All pipe ends must be square-cut, deburred, and cleaned prior to insertion. Proper alignment of the press tool and verification of full engagement are essential to achieving a reliable, leak-resistant seal. No thread sealant is required for press connections.

Technical Specifications
