Viega 79560 Propress 90 Degree Elbow 1-1/4 in Press X Fnpt

Product Description

The VIEGA 79560 is a 90-degree tube elbow in the ProPress fitting system, designed for making direction changes in pressurized copper tubing installations. Constructed from bronze, this fitting connects a press-style end to a female NPT (FNPT) threaded end, allowing transitions between press-connect copper lines and threaded pipe components. The 1-1/4 inch nominal size suits medium-capacity water distribution, hydronic heating, and similar plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a compatible press tool, eliminating open flame and reducing labor time compared to soldered connections.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 90-degree change of direction is needed alongside a transition to female NPT threading. Typical installations include domestic hot and cold water supply, hydronic radiant systems, and commercial mechanical rooms where copper press systems interface with threaded valve bodies, manifolds, or equipment connections.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in copper press piping systems
• Press x FNPT end configuration enables direct transition from press-connect copper to female threaded components
• 1-1/4 inch nominal size suitable for medium-flow water distribution and hydronic applications
• Bronze construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic service
• No-flame press connection reduces installation time and eliminates hot-work permitting requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ProPress fitting for use with 1-1/4 inch nominal copper tubing in press-connect plumbing systems requiring a 90-degree elbow with a female NPT outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber using a press tool compatible with the VIEGA ProPress fitting series. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before making connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the fitting stop before pressing. Threaded connections on the FNPT end should be made with appropriate thread sealant or tape in accordance with IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
