Nibco PCH6071 Press X Press 90 Elbow 1 Inch Copper

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH6071 is a 1-inch press-by-press 90-degree elbow fitting designed for joining seamless copper tubing without solder or open flame. It uses a press-connection system that cold-forms a permanent, leak-tight joint when crimped with a compatible pressing tool. A unique N-shaped witness mark becomes visible on the fitting after proper crimping, providing immediate visual confirmation of a completed connection. The PCH6071 is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and compressed air systems, and can be installed in above-ground, in-wall, and underground applications.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial piping systems where soldering is impractical or prohibited. Typical installation scenarios include gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and potable water systems. The press-connection design eliminates the need for open-flame torch work, making it appropriate for retrofit and occupied-space installations where fire risk must be minimized. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in both new construction and service work.
