Nibco Inc 9046200PCU 45 Degree Press Elbow 0.5 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO INC 9046200PCU is a 45-degree elbow fitting designed to redirect copper pipe runs at a 45-degree angle using a FTG (fitting-to-groove) inlet and a press outlet connection. This lead-free fitting eliminates the need for soldering or open flame at the connection point, making it a practical choice for retrofit and new construction applications where torch-free installation is required. It is sized for 0.5-inch pipe and is suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a directional change is needed without the time and fire-risk associated with soldered joints. The press-connect end accepts a standard press tool jaw for a reliable, consistent seal. The FTG end is designed to receive copper pipe directly, functioning as a street fitting. Typical applications include tight-space routing in wall cavities, mechanical rooms, and under-slab installations where torch access is restricted or prohibited.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle change for directional pipe routing without full 90-degree turns
• Lead-free construction compliant with potable water regulations
• Press outlet connection eliminates soldering and open-flame requirements
• FTG (street) inlet accepts copper pipe directly for compact inline use
• Sized for 0.5-inch pipe for compatibility with standard residential supply lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 0.5-inch copper press-connect plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool with the appropriate jaw size for 0.5-inch press fittings. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before fitting installation. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into the press end. Follow local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for permitted applications of press-connect fittings in your jurisdiction.
