3/4 inch Copper 45 Degree Street Press Elbow Fitting x Copper

3/4” Copper 45° Street Press Elbow – Press x Street End for Directional Transitions

The 3/4" copper 45-degree street press elbow is a compact transition fitting designed for making directional changes in copper piping systems while minimizing fitting count and joint length. One end features a press connection, and the other is a reduced male (street) profile that inserts directly into a press or solder fitting, allowing for tighter installations in confined spaces.

This fitting is manufactured from lead-free wrought copper (Alloy C12200) and complies with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water applications. It is suitable for use in hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating, and general mechanical systems where directional change and space conservation are required.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 3/4 inch
• Connection Type: Press x Street End (male tube end)
• Material: Wrought copper, ASTM B75 (C12200)
• Seal Element: EPDM (for potable water systems)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 200 PSI (temperature-dependent)
• Certifications: NSF/ANSI 61 & 372, UPC listed, conforms to ASME B16.51

Performance Features

• ✅ Street-End Configuration – Allows insertion into another fitting for reduced overall fitting length and space optimization
• ✅ Press Technology – Flame-free joint assembly using approved press tools and compatible jaws
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance – Approved for use in potable water systems per U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance – Copper construction offers long-term resistance to chemical corrosion and thermal cycling

Installation Requirements

Installation requires the use of a manufacturer-approved press tool and jaw set. The tubing must be cut square, deburred, and cleaned before insertion. Press fittings must be installed per manufacturer’s specifications, with adequate insertion depth verified prior to pressing. Not intended for soldering or use in underground applications without additional protection per code.

Typical Applications

This fitting is commonly used in domestic water distribution, radiant heating systems, and commercial mechanical systems where a 45-degree directional change is needed in limited space. The street-end design reduces the number of joints and fitting components, simplifying layout in wall cavities, manifolds, or equipment rooms.

Compliance Note

All copper press fittings for potable water applications must meet NSF/ANSI 372 and relevant plumbing codes. This street press elbow conforms to all current lead-free requirements and is acceptable for use in all 50 states.

The 3/4” copper 45° street press elbow provides a code-compliant, compact solution for directional transitions in professional-grade press-connect copper piping systems.
