Viega 20648 90 Degree Street Elbow 4 Inch Press End

Product Description

The VIEGA 20648 is a 4-inch nominal 90-degree street elbow designed for use in ProPress XL-C press-fit copper piping systems. It features a fitting-end inlet and a press-end outlet, allowing it to connect directly to a pipe without a separate fitting on one side. This configuration simplifies directional changes in larger-diameter copper runs. Licensed plumbers and commercial mechanical contractors install this fitting where a 90-degree turn is required in 4-inch copper systems. The press-end connection eliminates open-flame soldering at the joint, making it suitable for work in occupied buildings or areas where hot work permits are restricted.

This street elbow is intended for commercial and industrial plumbing applications where 4-inch copper pipe is used. It is well suited for hydronic heating, domestic water distribution, and large mechanical room piping. The fitting-x-press end style allows installation directly off an existing fitting spigot or pipe end, reducing the number of components needed in a directional change. It is part of the ProPress XL-C product line, which is engineered for larger-diameter press connections in demanding mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 4-inch nominal size for large-diameter copper piping systems
• 90-degree street configuration with fitting-end inlet and press-end outlet
• Press-end connection eliminates open-flame soldering at the joint
• Compatible with ProPress XL-C press tooling and jaws

Compatibility

Designed for use in ProPress XL-C press-fit copper piping systems with 4-inch nominal pipe and fittings. Specific tool and jaw compatibility should be verified with the ProPress XL-C tooling requirements prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using an approved ProPress XL-C pressing tool with the correct 4-inch jaw set. Shut off and depressurize the water system and verify the pipe and fitting ends are clean, round, and free of debris before pressing. Do not use this fitting with soldering or other joining methods. Verify local plumbing code acceptance of press-fit connections before installation.
