Nibco PRES90L2 Copper Press 90 Degree Elbow 2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES90L2 is a 2-inch copper press-fit 90-degree elbow designed for use in pressurized plumbing and hydronic piping systems. This fitting connects two copper pipe runs at a right angle using a press-fit connection on both ends, eliminating the need for open-flame soldering. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water distribution, heating, and cooling piping where a reliable, flame-free joint is required. The press-fit design speeds installation significantly compared to traditional sweat fittings.

This elbow is suited for new construction and retrofit applications where fire permits are restricted or where working conditions make torch work impractical. Typical installations include potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and chilled water piping. The 2-inch size fits standard Type L and Type K copper tube, making it a common choice for main supply runs and mechanical room piping in residential and light commercial buildings.

Key Features

• Press-fit ends on both connections eliminate open-flame soldering during installation
• 90-degree elbow configuration for right-angle direction changes in copper piping systems
• 2-inch press x press end connections sized for standard copper tube
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in water and hydronic applications
• Compatible with standard press-fit tooling used by plumbing and mechanical contractors

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool with the appropriate 2-inch jaw set; do not attempt to seat press-fit connections by hand or with non-rated tools. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into existing lines. Follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for press-fit copper fittings, including any inspection or pressure-test requirements. Verify the pipe end is clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing.
