Viega 20638 Propress Xl-c 90 Degree Street Elbow 2.5 Inch

Product Description

The VIEGA 20638 is a ProPress XL-C 90-degree street elbow designed for copper press piping systems in commercial and industrial plumbing applications. It features a fitting-end inlet and a press-end outlet, allowing it to connect directly into an existing fitting socket without an additional coupling. Sized at 2-1/2 inches nominal, this elbow is suited for larger-diameter hydronic, domestic water, and mechanical piping runs where soldered joints are impractical or where faster installation is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on press-fit systems are the primary installers.

This street elbow is used in 2-1/2 inch copper press piping systems found in commercial buildings, multi-family residential mechanical rooms, and industrial facilities. The XL-C designation indicates this fitting is part of the ProPress extended large-diameter copper press series, covering pipe sizes above 2 inches. It is appropriate for both hot and cold domestic water distribution and closed-loop hydronic systems where copper press tooling is available on site.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a VIEGA-compatible press tool with the appropriate XL-C jaw set sized for 2-1/2 inch fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water or hydronic system before making any connections. This fitting is flame-free and requires no soldering, but pipe ends must be cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) where adopted.
