Nibco PCH6061 Press X Press 45 Degree Elbow 1 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH6061 is a 1-inch press x press 45-degree elbow fitting designed for joining seamless copper tubing without soldering or open flame. It uses a press-connect method that permanently crimps the fitting onto the tube, leaving a visible witness mark on the fitting body to confirm a complete connection. This fitting is suited for residential and commercial applications including potable water, hydronic heating, and gas distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting using a compatible press tool with the correct jaw set.

The PCH6061 is rated for use in residential and commercial copper tubing systems. It is approved for gas and compressed air service as well as underground installation. The press-connect design eliminates the need for flame, flux, or solder, making it a practical choice in occupied buildings or areas where open flame is restricted. It accommodates 1-inch copper tube and changes flow direction at a 45-degree angle, useful in tight or angled routing scenarios.

Compatibility

Designed for use with seamless copper water tube in 1-inch size per applicable ASTM standards. Suitable for residential and commercial gas, potable water, compressed air, and hydronic systems. Requires a compatible press tool and jaw set rated for this fitting size and connection type.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor following applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC where gas service applies. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before pressing. Use only a compatible press tool and correctly sized jaw to achieve a complete crimp. Inspect the witness mark on every connection before restoring pressure to the system.
