Viega 77068 45 Degree Street Elbow 1-1/2 Inch Copper

Product Description

The VIEGA 77068 is a 45-degree street elbow designed for use in copper press-fit piping systems. It features a fitting-end inlet and a press-end outlet, allowing it to connect directly to standard copper tubing without soldering or open flame. Sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal, this elbow provides a 45-degree change in direction within a run of copper pipe. It is installed by licensed plumbers in both new construction and retrofit applications where press-fit tooling is available and a flameless connection method is required or preferred.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper press-fit connections are specified. The fitting-by-press end style allows it to be inserted directly into a standard copper fitting socket on one end while the press end is secured using a compatible press tool on the other. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating lines, and other copper-piped mechanical systems where directional changes are needed at 45-degree offsets.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow configuration for compact directional changes in copper piping runs
• 1-1/2 inch nominal size suits common residential and commercial pipe diameters
• Fitting x press end style enables direct insertion into existing fitting sockets without soldering
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water systems
• Flameless press-fit installation reduces labor time and eliminates open-flame hot work requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for use in 1-1/2 inch nominal copper press piping systems compatible with standard press tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before making any connections. A calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 1-1/2 inch press fittings is required to achieve a proper seal. Verify the pipe end is clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the pipe stop before pressing.
