Viega 20658 45 Degree Press Copper Elbow 3 Inch

Product Description

The VIEGA 20658 is a 45-degree press-style copper pipe elbow in the ProPress XL-C product line. It is designed to create a directional change in copper piping systems without soldering or open flame. The press end style connection uses a cold-press tool to form a watertight, mechanically secured joint in seconds. This fitting is built for 3-inch nominal pipe and suits the demands of commercial and large-diameter residential plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors specify this type of fitting where flame-free joining is required or preferred, such as in occupied buildings or areas near combustible materials.

The 20658 is used in large-bore copper piping systems handling domestic water, hydronic heating, and similar fluid distribution applications. The 3-inch nominal size places it in commercial-grade plumbing work, mechanical rooms, and high-flow distribution headers. The ProPress XL-C press connection system eliminates flux, solder, and open flame from the joining process, making it a common choice for retrofit and renovation work as well as new construction where speed and safety are priorities.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional pipe routing changes
• Press end style connection — no soldering, flux, or open flame required
• 3-inch nominal size suited for commercial and large-diameter plumbing systems
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in water service applications
• ProPress XL-C design compatible with standard press tooling for this pipe size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use in 3-inch nominal copper piping systems where a ProPress XL-C compatible press tool and jaw set are used for installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using a press tool rated and jawed for 3-inch ProPress XL-C fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water system completely before cutting into existing lines. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and marked to the correct insertion depth before pressing. Verify the connection with a visual inspection indicator or leak test before returning the system to service, per applicable plumbing code requirements.
