Nibco PRES90L12 Copper Press 90 Degree Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES90L12 is a 1/2 inch copper press-fit 90 degree elbow designed for use in pressurized water and hydronic piping systems. It connects two copper pipe runs at a right angle using a press-fit connection on both ends, eliminating the need for open flame soldering during installation. This fitting is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing work where quick, reliable connections are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting using a compatible press tool and jaw set sized for the pipe diameter.

This elbow is used in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing distribution systems where a 90 degree directional change is needed. The press-fit design makes it a common choice for retrofit and new construction work in areas where torch use is restricted or where faster installation is a priority. Both ends accept 1/2 inch copper pipe in a press-fit configuration.

Key Features

• Press-fit connection on both ends eliminates open flame soldering
• 90 degree elbow configuration for right-angle direction changes in piping runs
• 1/2 inch press x press end connections
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in water service applications
• Compatible with standard press tools and jaw sets for 1/2 inch copper pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for 1/2 inch copper pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber using a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 1/2 inch copper pipe. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before making connections. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the pipe stop before pressing. Follow local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, for approved press-fit fitting use in pressurized water systems.
