Viega 77038 45 Degree Press Elbow 1-1/2 Inch Copper

Product Description

The VIEGA 77038 is a 45-degree press-style pipe elbow designed for 1-1/2 inch nominal copper piping systems. It uses a press-fit end connection that eliminates open-flame soldering, allowing faster, cleaner joints in tight or fire-restricted spaces. This fitting is suited for hydronic heating, domestic water distribution, and mechanical piping systems where copper press technology is specified. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting using a compatible press tool and jaw set sized for 1-1/2 inch copper press connections.

This elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic applications. The 45-degree angle allows directional changes in copper piping runs where a full 90-degree turn is not required. It is commonly used in supply and return piping, boiler connections, and water distribution headers. Installation does not require solder, flux, or open flame, making it suitable for retrofit and occupied-space work where fire permits are restricted or impractical.

Key Features

• 45-degree press-fit elbow for 1-1/2 inch nominal copper pipe
• Press end connection style eliminates soldering and open-flame work
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in water systems
• Speeds up installation versus traditional solder fittings in high-volume or retrofit jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use with 1-1/2 inch nominal copper pipe in standard press-fit plumbing and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible hydraulic or battery-powered press tool with a jaw or ring set rated for 1-1/2 inch copper press connections. Shut off and depressurize the water system before cutting and fitting pipe. Verify pipe is clean, round, and fully inserted to the fitting stop before pressing. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for press-fit copper fittings.
