Viega 79570 90 Degree Press X Fnpt Elbow 2 Inch Bronze

Product Description

The VIEGA 79570 is a 90-degree pipe elbow designed for ProPress press-fit piping systems. It features a Press inlet connection on one end and a female NPT (FNPT) threaded outlet on the other, allowing installers to transition between press-fit and threaded piping in a single fitting. Constructed from bronze, this elbow is rated for use in commercial and residential plumbing, hydronic heating, and mechanical piping applications. At 2 inches nominal size, it suits medium-diameter runs where a directional change and a threaded connection point are needed in the same fitting.

This elbow is suited for licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working on copper or press-fit compatible piping systems. The Press x FNPT end configuration makes it a practical choice when transitioning to valves, strainers, gauges, or other threaded components at a 90-degree change of direction. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit work in commercial mechanical rooms and residential installations.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow changes flow direction while connecting press-fit and FNPT threaded piping in one fitting
• Press x FNPT end style simplifies transitions to threaded valves, instruments, or equipment
• Bronze construction provides corrosion resistance suited to potable water and hydronic systems
• 2 inch nominal size fits standard medium-diameter press-fit copper piping runs
• Press end eliminates open flame, reducing fire risk and speeding installation compared to soldered fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit fitting for use with 2 inch nominal press-fit compatible copper piping systems using a standard press tool.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water or hydronic system completely before making any connections. The Press end requires a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for 2 inch fittings — do not use an improperly sized jaw or an uncalibrated tool. The FNPT threaded end should be assembled with an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape per the fitting manufacturer guidelines.
