Viega 77072 90 Degree Street Elbow 2 Inch Press Copper

Product Description

The VIEGA 77072 is a 90-degree street elbow designed for use in copper press piping systems. It features a fitting-end inlet and a press-end outlet, allowing it to connect directly to standard copper pipe without soldering. The 2-inch nominal size suits medium- to large-diameter domestic water, hydronic heating, and commercial plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of a press-tool-based assembly, eliminating open flame at the joint and reducing installation time in occupied or sensitive environments.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper press technology is specified. It is particularly useful in retrofit and new-construction hydronic and potable-water applications where a 90-degree directional change is needed within a copper press system. The fitting-by-press end configuration allows direct insertion into an existing fitting socket on one side while the press end accepts standard copper pipe on the other.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow geometry provides a compact directional change within copper press runs
• Fitting x press end style connects directly to existing fitting sockets without additional couplings
• 2-inch nominal size accommodates medium- to large-diameter piping systems
• Copper construction offers corrosion resistance and long service life in water systems
• No-solder press connection reduces open-flame risk and speeds up installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 2-inch nominal copper press piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated press tool with the appropriate 2-inch jaw set. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and verify the pipe is dry before pressing the joint. Work follows applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for copper press fittings. Do not substitute a standard crimping tool — only manufacturer-approved press jaws rated for this fitting size should be used.
