Nibco PRES45L114 Copper Press 45 Degree Elbow 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES45L114 is a 1-1/4 inch copper press-fit 45 degree elbow designed for use in pressurized water and hydronic piping systems. It connects two copper press-fit pipes at a 45 degree angle without soldering, making it a fast and reliable choice for tight spaces or situations where open flame is not permitted. The press-fit connection relies on a pre-installed EPDM or silicone sealing element and a compatible jaw tool to create a secure, leak-resistant joint. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications where a 45 degree directional change is needed in a 1-1/4 inch copper press system. It is compatible with standard copper tubing and press-fit tooling following ASTM and ASME B16.22 press-fitting standards. The flameless installation method makes it particularly useful in occupied buildings, near combustible materials, or in jurisdictions with hot-work permit requirements.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inch press x press end connections for tool-only, no-solder installation
• 45 degree elbow geometry for directional changes in tight piping layouts
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic systems
• Flameless connection eliminates open-torch requirements and associated fire risk
• Compatible with standard press-fit jaw tooling used across the trade

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for 1-1/4 inch copper press piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press-fit jaw tool sized for 1-1/4 inch copper press connections. Shut off and depressurize the system before cutting into existing piping. Verify the pipe end is clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. Follow local plumbing code and manufacturer tooling guidelines to ensure a proper press.
