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

1" x 1" Carbon Steel Water Press 45° Street Elbow – Press-Fit Elbow for Hydronic and Potable Water Systems

This 1" x 1" Carbon Steel 45° Street Elbow is a press-connect fitting designed to provide a directional change in carbon steel water distribution systems. The fitting features a street (spigot x socket) configuration, allowing direct insertion into another press fitting, minimizing overall fitting count in confined installations.

Fabricated from corrosion-resistant carbon steel and manufactured to meet mechanical performance standards for press systems, this elbow supports hot and cold water applications, including closed-loop hydronic, potable supply, and non-potable fluid transport systems. It is designed to perform in systems requiring tight tolerances, high joint integrity, and compliance with code-regulated environments.

Performance Features

• ✅ Press-Connect Design – Enables secure, flame-free installation with compatible carbon steel press tools.
• ✅ Material Strength – Carbon steel body provides mechanical durability in systems subjected to thermal cycling and pressure variations.
• ✅ Street End Configuration – Reduces fitting count and installation space by inserting directly into another press fitting or valve.
• ✅ Consistent Joint Integrity – Engineered with precise tolerances to ensure consistent sealing and alignment during pressing.
• ✅ Code Compliance – Approved for use in systems governed by IPC, UPC, and ASME mechanical code where applicable.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

Cut carbon steel pipe to length, deburr inside and outside edges, and mark insertion depth. Use a manufacturer-approved pressing tool with appropriate jaws to crimp the fitting onto the pipe. Ensure gaskets are properly seated and that surfaces are clean prior to assembly. Follow all manufacturer and code-specified torque, alignment, and verification procedures.

Application Scope

Suitable for use in commercial and residential hydronic systems, closed-loop HVAC circuits, and approved potable water networks. The 45° configuration is used for directional changes in both horizontal and vertical pipe runs, especially where space or joint count limitations apply.

Material Consideration

Carbon steel press fittings are widely used for their structural strength, installation speed, and ability to meet code in flame-restricted environments. When installed per specification, they offer long service life and minimal maintenance in both new construction and retrofit applications.
