Nibco PCH60712 Press Copper 90 Elbow 1/2 in Press X Press

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH60712 is a 1/2 inch press-by-press 90-degree elbow fitting manufactured from copper and copper alloy. It is designed to join seamless copper water tube in gas distribution and compressed air piping systems using a press-connection method that eliminates open flame. When properly crimped, a unique N witness mark becomes visible on the fitting, confirming a complete and secure joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both residential and commercial applications. The press-style connection method is significantly faster than traditional soldering and is approved for underground installation.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial gas piping systems as well as compressed air distribution lines. The press-connect design works with standard copper tubing using compatible pressing tools, jaws, and chains. It can be installed in exposed, concealed, and underground configurations, making it a versatile choice for new construction and retrofit work. NIBCO PressG fittings are backed by a 25-year limited warranty.
