Viega 20628 90 Degree Press Elbow 3 Inch Copper

Product Description

The VIEGA 20628 is a 90-degree press-style pipe elbow designed for use in copper piping systems. It features a ProPress XL-C end style, allowing licensed plumbers and pipefitters to make secure, flame-free connections using a compatible press tool. The 3-inch nominal size makes it well suited for larger-diameter distribution lines in commercial and residential applications. Press fittings eliminate open-flame soldering, reducing fire risk and installation time on the job.

This elbow is used in copper pipe systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. Typical installations include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating systems, and commercial plumbing rough-in work. The ProPress XL-C end style is engineered for larger-diameter press connections and is compatible with press tooling rated for XL-C jaws in the 3-inch range. It is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working on mid- to large-scale projects.
