Nibco PRES90L212 Copper Press 90 Degree Elbow 2.5 in

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES90L212 is a copper press-fit 90 degree elbow designed for 2.5-inch press x press connections in hydronic, plumbing, and mechanical piping systems. This fitting allows a directional change of 90 degrees without soldering, relying instead on a press-fit connection made with a compatible jaw and press tool. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where open flame is restricted or speed of installation is a priority.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and heating systems where copper press technology is specified. It is appropriate for hot and cold water supply, hydronic heating loops, and similar closed-loop piping applications. The press x press end configuration means both ends accept press-fit connections, making it a straightforward choice when transitioning direction in a copper press run.

Key Features

• 90 degree elbow geometry for in-line direction changes in copper press piping systems
• 2.5-inch press x press end connections on both ends
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet systems
• No-flame installation eliminates torch work in sensitive or confined spaces
• Compatible with standard press tooling and jaws sized for 2.5-inch copper press fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for 2.5-inch copper press piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible hydraulic or battery-powered press tool with the correct 2.5-inch copper press jaw. Shut off and drain the system before cutting into an existing line. Ensure pipe ends are deburred, clean, and fully seated into the fitting socket before pressing. This fitting should be installed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B16.18 or B16.22 standards where required.
