2 inch Copper 90 Degree Street Press Elbow Fitting x Copper

2 Inch Copper 90° Street Press Elbow – Press x Street End

The 2 inch copper 90-degree street press elbow is a flame-free fitting designed to provide a compact directional change in copper piping systems. Featuring a press connection on one end and a spigot (street) end on the other, it enables direct insertion into another fitting without the need for a short segment of pipe. This configuration minimizes the number of joints and simplifies installation in tight assemblies.

Material Composition and Standards

This elbow is manufactured from lead-free wrought copper and is designed for use in press-connect potable water, hydronic heating, and chilled water systems. Key technical attributes include:

• ✅ Lead-Free Copper – Conforms to ASTM B75 Alloy C12200 for plumbing applications requiring low-lead compliance under NSF/ANSI 61 and 372.
• ✅ EPDM Sealing Element – Factory-installed O-ring suitable for water and hydronic systems; rated up to 250°F and 200 psi, depending on system conditions.
• ✅ Press x Street Connection – Reduces space requirements by eliminating additional fittings in directional transitions.
• ✅ Standard Compliance – Complies with ASME B16.51 and is third-party listed by NSF, UPC, and ICC for use in pressure piping systems.

Installation Guidelines

Requires a compatible press tool and jaws approved for copper press fittings. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and marked to the appropriate insertion depth. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on the O-ring. Verify that the press connection has been completed with proper visual indicators where applicable. Use only for systems within rated temperature and pressure limitations.

Applications in the Field

Frequently specified in domestic water distribution, commercial plumbing risers, mechanical rooms, and heating system loops. The street end allows for compact connections where layout flexibility is limited, such as within walls, chase spaces, or manifold tie-ins. Suitable for both new construction and retrofits.
