Nibco PRES45STLFTGC2 Copper 45 Degree Press Elbow 2in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES45STLFTGC2 is a copper 45-degree elbow fitting designed for press-style installation in commercial and residential plumbing and hydronic systems. It features an FTG (fitting-to-groove) by Press end configuration, allowing one end to accept a standard solder cup or press fitting and the other to connect using a press tool. At 2 inches, this elbow handles moderate-to-large diameter lines where directional changes of 45 degrees are required. No open flame is needed on the press end, making it a practical choice in occupied buildings or areas where torch work is restricted.

This fitting is suited for copper tube systems used in potable water distribution, hydronic heating and cooling, and general plumbing rough-in. The 2-inch size is common in commercial plumbing, mechanical rooms, and main distribution lines. The FTG end integrates directly into a standard copper fitting socket, while the press end forms a permanent, leak-tested connection with a compatible press tool and the appropriate jaw set for 2-inch copper.

Key Features

• 45-degree change of direction for copper tube systems
• FTG x Press end configuration for versatile connection options
• Press end eliminates open-flame soldering at that joint
• 2-inch size suited for main distribution and commercial plumbing runs
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 2-inch copper tube press systems following standard ASME B16.22 copper fitting dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water system before cutting into any existing line. The press end requires a compatible hydraulic or battery-powered press tool fitted with the correct 2-inch copper jaw set — do not attempt to solder a press-only end. Inspect the fitting seating and the press indicator window before and after pressing to confirm a complete connection.
