Pps 77042 Propress Copper 90 Deg Press Elbow 2 Inch

Product Description

The PPS 77042 is a 2-inch copper 90-degree press elbow fitting designed for use in pressurized piping systems. Manufactured under the ProPress product line by Viega, this fitting connects copper pipe at a right angle using a press-style end connection that eliminates open-flame soldering during installation. The press end style creates a secure, leak-free joint using a jaw-press tool, making it a reliable choice for service work where torch use is restricted or impractical. At 2 inches nominal size, this elbow is suited for larger-diameter distribution lines in both residential and commercial settings.

This fitting is rated for a wide range of piping applications including potable water, hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating, gas systems, fire protection, and solar thermal systems. The copper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life across these varied service environments. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction or retrofit projects where press-fit technology is specified or preferred over traditional sweat connections.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle directional changes in 2-inch copper piping
• Press-style end connection eliminates open-flame soldering for faster, safer installation
• Copper material provides corrosion resistance for potable and non-potable water service
• Rated for multiple applications including potable water, heating, gas, fire protection, and solar systems
• Limited warranty coverage from the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed for use in potable water systems, hot and cold water systems, hydronic heating systems, gas systems, fire protection systems, and solar systems where 2-inch press-fit copper connections are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line fully before fitting installation. A calibrated press jaw sized for 2-inch copper fittings is required to form a proper press connection. Do not use thread sealants, flux, or open-flame equipment on press-style fittings.
