2 inch 45 Degree Street Press Elbow Fitting x Copper

2 Inch 45 Degree Street Press Elbow – Copper Press x Street End

The 2 inch 45 Degree Street Press Elbow is a copper press fitting designed to change direction in copper tubing systems by 45 degrees. Featuring a press connection on one end and a street (spigot) end on the other, this elbow enables direct insertion into another fitting, reducing the need for additional components and streamlining installations in confined spaces.

Product Overview

• Size: 2 inch nominal copper tubing
• Material: Lead-free wrought copper conforming to ASTM B75

Key Performance Features

• Corrosion Resistance: Copper body provides excellent performance in potable and hydronic applications
• Sealing Mechanism: Integrated EPDM sealing element supports reliable press-fit connections without soldering
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for systems rated up to 200 psi (water) and up to 250°F when used with compatible press tools
• Compliance: NSF 61, NSF 372 lead-free certified; meets ASME B16.51 standards

Typical Applications

This 45° press elbow is commonly used in:

• Potable water distribution systems
• Hydronic heating and cooling systems
• Commercial plumbing and mechanical installations
• New construction and retrofit projects where soldering is impractical or restricted

Installation Considerations

Install using a compatible press tool with approved jaws sized for 2-inch copper press fittings. Ensure pipe is properly deburred and cleaned before pressing. Do not solder this fitting. Verify system pressure requirements and EPDM seal compatibility with intended fluids. Use of a depth gauge is recommended to ensure full insertion before press.

Advantages for Professionals

• Reduces labor time with flame-free installation
• Ideal for overhead, tight-space, or occupied-space applications
• Provides a consistent, code-compliant joint without open flame permits

The 2 inch 45 Degree Street Press Elbow offers an efficient solution for directional changes in copper piping systems with a reduced number of joints. Its compact footprint, reliable sealing, and compliance with national standards make it a smart choice for professional-grade installations.
