Nibco PRES45L2 Copper Press 45 Degree Elbow 2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES45L2 is a 2-inch copper press-fit 45-degree elbow designed for use in pressurized plumbing and hydronic piping systems. It connects two lengths of copper tubing at a 45-degree angle using a press-fit connection, eliminating the need for open-flame soldering or solvent cements. The press-fit end design allows a licensed plumber or pipefitter to make a secure, leak-resistant joint with a standard pressing tool in seconds. This fitting is suited for both new installation and retrofit work where flame-free methods are required or preferred.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including domestic water distribution, radiant heating, and hydronic piping. It is a direct-press fitting rated for copper-to-copper connections and is well suited for tight spaces or retrofit applications where a torch is not permitted. The 2-inch press x press configuration makes it compatible with standard Type L and Type K copper tube in the same nominal size.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for moderate directional changes in copper piping runs
• Press-fit ends on both sides for tool-pressed, flame-free installation
• 2-inch nominal size fits standard Type L and Type K copper tube
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in water service applications
• No solder, flux, or open flame required during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for 2-inch copper tubing systems using press-fit connection technology.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water or hydronic system before cutting into any existing piping. Use a calibrated pressing tool with the correct jaw size for 2-inch press fittings, and inspect the O-ring seal in each fitting socket before pressing. Do not use a torch or soldering materials on press-fit fittings.
