Nibco PRES90LRED3412 Copper Press Reducing Elbow

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES90LRED3412 is a copper press 90 degree reducing elbow designed for use in pressurized plumbing systems. This fitting connects a 3/4 inch press outlet to a 1/2 inch press outlet, making a right-angle direction change while reducing pipe size in a single fitting. It eliminates the need for a separate reducer and elbow, saving time on rough-in work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial water distribution systems where press-style connections are specified.

This reducing elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where copper press technology is used in place of soldered joints. Typical applications include potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, and other closed water systems. Press fittings are commonly selected in retrofit and remodel work where open flame is restricted, and in new construction where installation speed is a priority. The 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch reducing configuration is a standard size combination encountered at branch takeoffs and fixture supply drops.

Key Features

• 90 degree elbow with integral reducing geometry eliminates need for a separate coupling and elbow
• 3/4 inch press inlet by 1/2 inch press outlet for standard branch reduction in copper systems
• Copper construction for compatibility with potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing service
• Press-style connection requires no open flame, flux, or solder for assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting replacement or new installation component for copper press plumbing systems using 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch copper tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber using a press tool rated for copper press fittings and the appropriate jaw size for each end of the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before pressing. Verify that tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards governing copper press fitting installations.
