Nibco PRES45STLFTGC114 Copper 45 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES45STLFTGC114 is a copper 45-degree elbow fitting designed for press-connect plumbing systems. It features a 1-1/4 inches FTG (fitting-to-grooved) by press end configuration, allowing it to transition between sweat-style and press connections without soldering. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers working on copper water distribution systems in both residential and light commercial applications. The press-connect design speeds up installation and eliminates open-flame work in spaces where soldering is restricted or impractical.

This elbow is suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and general copper plumbing rough-in work. The 45-degree angle accommodates directional offsets in tight mechanical chases, walls, and ceiling runs. Plumbers use this fitting where a gradual directional change is needed without the turbulence associated with a 90-degree turn. It is appropriate for new construction and retrofit projects that use press-connect tooling.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional changes in copper piping runs
• 1-1/4 inches FTG x Press end configuration supports hybrid sweat-and-press installations
• Press-connect end eliminates open-flame soldering at the press connection
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications
• FTG end accepts standard copper fittings for solder-joint transitions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inches copper press-connect plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a press-connect tool with the appropriate jaw size for 1-1/4 inches copper fittings; consult the tool manufacturer for compatible jaw sets. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before making any connections. The FTG end requires standard copper soldering practices per applicable plumbing codes, including IPC and local amendments. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully seated before pressing or soldering.
