It connects two press-fit pipe ends at a 45 degree angle, allowing directional changes in copper pipe runs without soldering or open flame. The press-fit connection system uses a pre-installed EPDM seal that is compressed with a standard press tool, creating a reliable, leak-tight joint. This fitting is suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and similar closed-loop systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRES45L12 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where 1\/2 inch copper pipe is run and a 45 degree change of direction is required. Press-fit fittings are commonly chosen in retrofit and new construction applications where torch-free installation is preferred, such as in occupied buildings, tight spaces, or areas where open flame is restricted. This fitting accepts standard 1\/2 inch copper tubing on both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45 degree elbow geometry for angled directional changes in 1\/2 inch copper pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress x Press ends eliminate the need for soldering or brazing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-installed EPDM seal supports a fast, torch-free connection with a standard press tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for potable water and hydronic heating applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for 1\/2 inch copper pipe systems using press-style connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before fitting installation. A calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 1\/2 inch press fittings is required to form the connection. Do not attempt to press a fitting that already has flow passing through it, as an incomplete press will result in a failed joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRES45L12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524786258226,"sku":"45L12","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4d845e6cdb2ece5cdf32328fd147b139.jpg?v=1785457468","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-pres45l12-copper-press-45-degree-elbow-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
