1-1/4 inch Copper 45 Degree Street Press Elbow Fitting x Copper

1-1/4” Copper 45° Street Press Elbow – Built for High-Performance Transitions

The 1-1/4” Copper 45° Street Press Elbow is a precision-engineered fitting designed to create smooth directional changes in press-connect copper systems. Ideal for tight installations where space constraints demand compact solutions, this fitting offers a secure press-to-cup connection and is suitable for use in a wide range of hydronic and potable water applications.

Advantages of the 1-1/4” Copper 45° Street Elbow

• ✅ Compact Street Design – Features a male-end connection that fits directly into another fitting, reducing the number of joints required in limited-space configurations.
• ✅ Reliable Press Technology – Designed for use with press tools and compatible jaws to form consistent, permanent connections without heat or solder.
• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Construction – Fabricated from ASTM B75 or B88 compliant copper, making it safe for potable water systems and compliant with NSF 61 and NSF 372 standards.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Interior – Suitable for domestic water and hydronic heating, including both chilled and hot water distribution lines.
• ✅ Time-Saving Installation – Reduces labor with no drying time, flame permits, or flux residue—ideal for commercial or residential applications with strict deadlines.

Installation Guidelines

Use a properly calibrated press tool compatible with the fitting’s size. Clean and deburr pipe ends before insertion. Insert the copper pipe to the proper insertion depth, and complete the press cycle with the correct jaw profile. No solder, flux, or curing is required, minimizing installation time and ensuring consistent joint integrity.

Application Scope

Commonly used in both residential and commercial copper systems, this press elbow is ideal for potable water, hot and cold water distribution, HVAC hydronic loops, and other low-to-medium pressure fluid systems requiring directional flow at a 45° angle.

Industry Note

Copper press fittings are rapidly replacing traditional soldered joints due to their speed, cleanliness, and compliance with no-lead legislation. They are particularly advantageous in retrofit environments and multi-family housing where fire safety and system uptime are critical.

The 1-1/4” Copper 45° Street Press Elbow is engineered to deliver long-term performance and simplify installations in modern copper press systems. Designed with precision and built to last, it ensures consistent results across demanding applications.
