Viega 20668 45 Degree Street Elbow 2-1/2 Inch Copper

Product Description

The VIEGA 20668 is a 45-degree street elbow designed for copper press fitting systems. It features a fitting-by-press end style, allowing one end to accept a press tool connection while the other end inserts directly into a standard fitting socket. Sized at 2-1/2 inches nominal, this elbow is used to change pipe direction in larger-diameter copper piping runs without the need for soldering or open flame. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of the ProPress XL-C press system, which is engineered for fast, repeatable mechanical connections in commercial and industrial plumbing applications.

This street elbow is suited for 2-1/2 inch copper piping systems in commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and mechanical room installations where flame-free joining is required or preferred. The press-style end connection reduces installation time compared to soldered fittings, making it a practical choice for retrofit work, occupied buildings, or any environment where open flame is restricted. The fitting-by-press configuration allows it to connect directly into an adjacent fitting without a pipe nipple between them.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow geometry for directional changes in tight spaces
• Fitting x press end style eliminates the need for an intermediate pipe nipple
• 2-1/2 inch nominal size suits larger commercial piping systems
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic applications
• Press connection method requires no soldering, brazing, or open flame

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for use within the ProPress XL-C press fitting system on 2-1/2 inch nominal copper piping.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using a press tool approved for the ProPress XL-C system. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid supply before making any connections. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for press-type fittings in the relevant jurisdiction. Do not attempt to press fittings while the pipe is under pressure or contains fluid.
