Nibco PCH606112 Press X Press 45-degree Elbow 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH606112 is a 1-1/2 inch copper press fitting configured as a 45-degree elbow with a Press x Press end connection. It joins copper tubing without open flame or soldering, using a mechanical crimping tool to create a permanent, leak-resistant connection. The fitting is suited for residential and commercial installations involving potable water, gas distribution, and compressed air systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using compatible press jaws and crimping tools. When the crimp is complete, a unique N witness mark becomes visible on the fitting sleeve, confirming full engagement.

The PCH606112 is designed for use in copper tubing systems where a 45-degree direction change is required. Approved applications include residential and commercial gas piping, compressed air lines, and water distribution. The fitting can also be installed in underground applications where code and project specifications permit. Its flameless installation method makes it well-suited for occupied buildings, confined spaces, and other job sites where open-flame torch work presents safety or insurance concerns.
