Viega 20653 45 Degree Press Elbow 2-1/2 Inch Copper

Product Description

The VIEGA 20653 is a 45-degree press pipe elbow in the ProPress XL-C product line, designed for 2-1/2 inch nominal copper piping systems. This fitting uses a press end connection style, allowing installation without open flame or soldering equipment. The result is a fast, consistent joint suited for commercial and industrial plumbing, hydronic heating, and mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term durability in both hot and cold water service.

This fitting is intended for use in larger-diameter copper press systems where a 45-degree direction change is required. Typical installations include commercial plumbing risers, mechanical room piping, and hydronic distribution systems. The press end style is compatible with standard press tooling used on ProPress XL-C series fittings. It is well suited for retrofit and new construction work where torch-free installation is required or preferred by code or site conditions.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in copper piping runs
• 2-1/2 inch nominal size serves larger commercial and mechanical system applications
• Press end connection eliminates the need for soldering or open flame on site

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use in 2-1/2 inch nominal copper press piping systems using compatible ProPress XL-C press tooling and jaws.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using approved press tooling sized for 2-1/2 inch ProPress XL-C fittings. Shut off and depressurize the piping system and ensure the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and properly marked to the insertion depth before pressing. Press joints must be made with the correct jaw profile for this fitting series — using the wrong jaw can result in an incomplete or failed joint. Verify local plumbing code acceptance of press-fit copper connections before installation.
