1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel Water Press 45 Degree Elbow Press x Press

1-1/4” Carbon Steel Press 45° Elbow – Directional Fitting for Mechanical Water Systems

The 1-1/4” Carbon Steel Press 45° Elbow is a precision-engineered fitting used to redirect flow in pressurized water distribution systems by 45 degrees. Fabricated from corrosion-resistant carbon steel, it is suitable for use in both potable and non-potable systems requiring reliable press connections. Its geometry and press-connect profile allow for flame-free installation in tight or inaccessible locations.

This fitting supports installation in new construction and retrofit projects, including hydronic heating loops, domestic water supply lines, and commercial plumbing systems. Manufactured to meet industry tolerances, the elbow ensures consistent sealing and mechanical integrity when installed with compatible press tools and pipe materials.

Product Features

• ✅ Press x Press Configuration – Designed for use with carbon steel press tools and compatible pipe ends.
• ✅ Fabricated from Carbon Steel – Provides high mechanical strength and dimensional stability in piping systems subject to temperature and pressure variations.
• ✅ 45° Sweep Angle – Allows redirection of flow while minimizing turbulence and preserving flow characteristics.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Finish – Typically coated to prevent oxidation in above-ground and concealed installations.
• ✅ Code-Compliant – Suitable for installations governed by IPC, UPC, and ASME B31 mechanical piping standards.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Carbon Steel
• Nominal Size: 1-1/4”
• Angle: 45 Degrees
• Connection Type: Press x Press
• Sealing Element: EPDM or HNBR (dependent on system type and manufacturer specification)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 200 PSI (verify based on press system specifications)

Installation Considerations

Pipe ends must be cleanly cut, deburred, and marked to the appropriate insertion depth. Fittings should only be installed using manufacturer-approved press tools and jaws designed for carbon steel press applications. Ensure the sealing element is properly seated and free of debris. Final assemblies must be visually inspected and tested to meet applicable system pressure and code requirements.

Applications

Used in potable water systems, hydronic heating loops, chilled water lines, and general mechanical piping. Ideal for directional offsets in piping networks where space limitations require compact, angular fittings. Applicable in residential, commercial, and institutional settings.

Material Performance Note

Carbon steel press fittings are widely used for their durability, mechanical strength, and compatibility with non-flame joining methods. They are an efficient alternative to welded or threaded joints, particularly in closed-system applications where pressure and temperature stability are critical.
