It is used to change flow direction by 45 degrees in copper piping systems without the need for open-flame soldering. The press-style connection allows a licensed plumber or pipefitter to make a leak-tight joint using a compatible press tool, reducing labor time on both new installations and retrofit work. This elbow is suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and light commercial plumbing systems where copper is the specified pipe material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems that use copper tubing. The FTG end accepts standard copper pipe or tubing for a sweat-compatible fit, while the press end accepts a press-tool connection for a flameless, no-solder joint. It is a common choice in occupied buildings, tight spaces, or jurisdictions where open-flame work requires additional permits or fire watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree elbow geometry changes flow direction without a full 90-degree turn, reducing turbulence and pressure drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress x FTG end configuration supports flameless installation with a standard press tool on one end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch size fits standard 1-inch copper tubing per ASTM specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFTG end is compatible with standard sweat or press fittings for flexible joint options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch copper piping systems using press-style connections.

Shut off and depressurize the water supply and verify the pipe is dry before pressing the connection. A compatible press tool with the correct jaw size must be used on the press end to achieve a proper seal. Do not use the press end with a torch or solder, as this may damage the internal sealing element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Elbow\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: PRES45STLFTGC1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524915102002,"sku":"45STLFTGC1","price":23.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6ea9a6ab1e771585d812dbb8451785aa_4f37fe87-5a44-4cfe-a150-9a01330837cd.jpg?v=1785461516","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-pres45stlftgc1-copper-1-in-ftg-x-press-45-elbow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
