Product Description
The VIEGA 77637 is a 1/2-inch copper 45-degree street elbow engineered for use with the Viega ProPress system. It features Smart Connect technology, which allows installers and inspectors to identify unpressed connections before the system is pressurized, reducing the risk of callbacks and water damage. The fitting connects press-by-fitting, eliminating the need for open flame during installation. Licensed plumbers working on residential and light commercial copper distribution systems will find this fitting straightforward to integrate into standard ProPress workflows.
This street elbow is designed for plumbing applications where a 45-degree directional change is needed without the use of a separate coupling. The street end inserts directly into another fitting, making it useful in tight spaces where fitting-to-fitting connections must be kept compact. It is sized at 1/2 inch and constructed from copper, making it suitable for potable water supply lines and other standard plumbing distribution runs.
Key Features
- Smart Connect technology allows visual identification of unpressed joints before pressurization
- Press connection eliminates open-flame soldering on the job site

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Viega ProPress copper plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before pressing any connections. Use only a Viega-approved pressing tool with the correct jaw profile for 1/2-inch ProPress fittings. Do not press fittings when the pipe or fitting is visibly wet, as this may result in an incomplete press.
