The VIEGA 77053 is a 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch 45-degree street elbow manufactured from copper and built for ProPress press-connect systems. It uses Smart Connect technology, which allows installers and inspectors to identify unpressed connections during pressure testing, reducing the risk of undetected leaks in finished systems. The press x fitting connection type eliminates the need for open flame, making it a faster and cleaner option on job sites where torch use is restricted or undesirable. Licensed plumbers use this fitting in new construction and retrofit plumbing systems wherever a 45-degree direction change is required.
This fitting is intended for plumbing applications using the Viega ProPress system. The street elbow configuration allows it to connect directly to another fitting without a short nipple, saving space in tight installations. Its copper construction suits potable water, hydronic heating, and similar plumbing lines. The 3/4 inch size is common in branch and main supply lines in both residential and light commercial plumbing work.

Installation Notes
Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before fitting installation. Use only Viega-approved ProPress tooling and correctly sized jaws for the 3/4 inch connection to ensure a fully pressed, leak-free joint. Inspect all connections with a pressure test after installation to confirm no unpressed fittings remain in the system.
