1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel Water Press 90 Degree Street Elbow Press x Fitting

1-1/4 Inch Carbon Steel Press 90° Street Elbow – Heavy-Duty Directional Fitting

The 1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel Press 90° Street Elbow is a specialized transition fitting designed for press-connection water systems. Its street-end configuration—featuring one male and one female press end—enables compact changes in pipe direction without additional couplings. This is especially useful in high-density layouts where space conservation and joint minimization are priorities.

Performance Attributes for Demanding Installations

• ✅ Carbon Steel Fabrication – Provides superior tensile strength and rigidity, suitable for closed-loop hydronic and potable water applications.
• ✅ Precision Press Ends – Designed for compatibility with approved press tools and sealing elements (typically EPDM or HNBR), ensuring consistent, leak-proof seals.
• ✅ Street Elbow Configuration – Allows for direct insertion into female press fittings or components, reducing fitting count and streamlining system assembly.

Installation Considerations

Installation requires standard press-fit procedures, including proper pipe preparation—cutting, deburring, and cleaning—prior to tool engagement. Use depth marking and manufacturer-specific press profiles to confirm seal integrity. Designed for use with calibrated press tools in accordance with system certifications.

Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch
• Material: Zinc-coated or corrosion-resistant carbon steel
• Connection Type: Press x Street Press
• Bend Angle: 90 degrees
• Application Type: Water distribution, hydronic heating, chilled water, non-potable closed systems

Common Applications

This elbow is commonly used in mechanical system builds, branch piping, manifold assemblies, and vertical-to-horizontal transitions. The 90° configuration supports smooth directional changes, while the press profile allows for flame-free, rapid installations even in enclosed or flammable environments.

Material Note

Carbon steel is selected for press systems due to its dimensional stability, low thermal expansion, and resistance to mechanical deformation under pressure. Combined with press-fit technology, it supports efficient large-scale installations in commercial and residential settings alike.

Choosing the 1-1/4 inch Carbon Steel Press 90° Street Elbow ensures mechanical reliability, structural strength, and streamlined assembly—ideal for contractors who demand efficiency without compromising system performance.
