Nibco PRES90STL2 Copper 90 Degree Press Elbow 2 Inches

Product Description

The NIBCO PRES90STL2 is a 2-inch copper 90-degree elbow fitting designed for press-connect plumbing systems. It uses a FTG (fitting-to-groove) inlet and a press-style outlet, allowing fast, solder-free connections in tight spaces or active-work environments where open flame is restricted. The fitting is manufactured from copper, making it suitable for potable water, hydronic heating, and HVAC piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component when joining copper pipe runs at a right angle using press tooling instead of sweat methods.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic applications where 2-inch copper pipe is transitioned or turned at 90 degrees. Press fittings are commonly specified in occupied buildings, remodel work, and mechanical rooms where torch work is prohibited or impractical. The FTG end accepts standard copper pipe or tubing, while the press end is crimped using a compatible press tool with the appropriate 2-inch jaw set.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle pipe routing in copper systems
• FTG x Press end configuration — one sweat-compatible end, one press-connect end
• 2-inch nominal size for standard copper pipe
• Copper construction compatible with potable water and hydronic piping
• No-torch installation on the press end reduces fire risk on the jobsite

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use in standard 2-inch copper pipe systems following ASME B16.18 and ASME B16.22 dimensional standards for copper pressure fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation of the press end requires a compatible press tool with a 2-inch jaw set rated for copper press fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water or hydronic system completely before cutting into any line. The FTG end may be soldered using standard copper sweat procedures per applicable plumbing codes including IPC and local authority requirements. Inspect the press ring seating visually after crimping to confirm full engagement before pressurizing the system.
