2-1/2 inch Copper 45 Degree Street Press Elbow Fitting x Copper

2-1/2 Inch Copper 45° Street Press Elbow – Lead-Free, DWV and Potable Water Compliant

The 2-1/2 inch Copper 45° Street Press Elbow is engineered for directional changes in copper press systems requiring a compact footprint. Designed for use in potable water distribution, HVAC, and commercial piping applications, this elbow connects a copper tube to a fitting with a 45-degree offset using reliable press technology.

Performance and Manufacturing Highlights

• ✅ Press Connection System Compatible with standard press tools and jaws; eliminates flame for faster, safer installations.
• ✅ Integral Tube Stop Maintains consistent insertion depth and axial alignment for press-fit connections.
• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Alloy Fabricated from materials meeting NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water systems.
• ✅ High Pressure Rating Suitable for systems operating at up to 200 PSI and 250°F, when properly installed.
• ✅ Industry Certification Complies with ASME B16.51 and ICC plumbing standards for press copper fittings.

Installation Requirements

This fitting is designed for professional use with ASTM B88 hard copper tubing. Installation requires approved copper press tools, cleaned and deburred tubing ends, and adherence to manufacturer-specific press protocols. Not intended for use with soft copper or gas distribution systems.

Typical Applications

Used in hydronic heating loops, potable water systems, and commercial infrastructure where space constraints and directional offsets require angled transitions. The street-end design reduces the number of fittings required in compact layouts.

Note:

All copper press fittings must be installed using calibrated tools in accordance with the fitting manufacturer’s specifications. Proper sealing integrity and joint alignment are critical to long-term system performance.

The 2-1/2 inch Copper 45° Street Press Elbow provides contractors with a code-compliant, corrosion-resistant solution for rerouting copper systems efficiently and securely. It’s a proven component in high-performance water and mechanical systems requiring lead-free compliance and flame-free assembly.
