Nibco PRES45L1 Copper Press 45 Degree Elbow 1 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES45L1 is a 1-inch copper press fitting designed to create a 45-degree directional change in press-connect piping systems. It connects using a press x press end configuration, eliminating the need for soldering or open flame during installation. This fitting is suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and cooling distribution systems found in residential and light commercial construction. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, particularly in new construction and retrofit work where flame-free methods are required or preferred.

This elbow is used wherever a 45-degree offset is needed in a 1-inch copper press system. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, radiant and hydronic heating loops, and chilled water distribution. Press fittings are common in occupied buildings, hospitals, and other environments where open-flame brazing or soldering is restricted or impractical.

Key Features

• Press x press end connections for flame-free, tool-actuated installation
• 45-degree angle for directional offsets in tight or complex pipe runs
• 1-inch nominal size fits standard 1-inch copper tubing
• Copper construction offers corrosion resistance in water-based systems
• Compatible with standard press tooling used on copper press systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1-inch copper press piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool with the appropriate jaw or ring for 1-inch copper press fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the tube stop before pressing. Work should conform to applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B16.18 or B16.22 standards where required.
