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

1-1/4” Carbon Steel Water Press 45° Street Elbow – Press-Fit Directional Fitting for Potable and Hydronic Systems

The 1-1/4” Carbon Steel Water Press 45° Street Elbow is a press-connect fitting used to create a 45-degree directional change in carbon steel piping systems. With one male and one female press end, it is designed for direct insertion into another press fitting, reducing space requirements and joint complexity.

This fitting is constructed from corrosion-resistant carbon steel and designed for use in potable water, closed-loop hydronic heating, and non-potable water systems. It complies with the mechanical performance standards of press-fit systems and is suitable for installations that require flame-free, mechanically-secured pipe connections.

Product Features

• ✅ Press-to-Connect Design – Allows for fast, tool-assisted connection without welding or threading.
• ✅ Street Elbow Configuration – One spigot (male) and one socket (female) end for direct mating with press fittings, minimizing the need for added components.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel – Designed for long-term performance in potable and hydronic systems under standard operating conditions.
• ✅ Angle Transition – Enables 45-degree redirection of flow in horizontal or vertical pipe runs, especially useful in compact or retrofit installations.
• ✅ Code Compliant – Suitable for use in systems meeting IPC, UPC, and mechanical code requirements for water press fittings.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Carbon Steel (per ASTM A420 or equivalent)
• Size: 1-1/4” nominal
• Connection Type: Press x Spigot (Street)
• Angle: 45 Degrees
• Sealing Element: EPDM or HNBR, dependent on system specification

Installation Requirements

Pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and marked for insertion depth prior to pressing. Use only manufacturer-approved press tools and jaws appropriate for carbon steel fittings. Verify gasket seating before assembly and confirm joint alignment prior to crimping. All installations must conform to applicable plumbing and mechanical codes.

Applications

This 45° street elbow is commonly used in commercial and residential water supply lines, hydronic systems, mechanical rooms, and retrofit piping configurations requiring compact directional transitions. Its street-end profile is especially beneficial in areas with limited space or when reducing the number of fittings is a design objective.

Material Performance Note

Carbon steel press fittings are preferred in high-strength water system applications for their durability, compatibility with flame-free installation environments, and consistent performance under thermal expansion and pressure cycling conditions.
