Viega 90005 90 Degree Press Elbow 1/2 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VIEGA 90005 is a 90-degree press elbow designed for use with Viega MegaPress press-fit piping systems. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fitting provides a corrosion-resistant, mechanically pressed connection without the need for soldering, threading, or open flame. The 1/2-inch press-by-press configuration makes it a reliable choice for directional changes in piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using a standard press tool, making it well suited for both new construction and retrofit applications where torch work is restricted or impractical.

This elbow is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 90-degree change of direction is required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications involving potable water, hydronic heating, and other compatible fluid systems. It is sized at 1/2 inch, fitting standard half-inch press-system piping. Its compact form factor suits tight mechanical spaces where a full-size fitting swing would be difficult to accommodate.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and hydronic environments
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional piping changes
• 1/2-inch press connection on both ends — no soldering or threading required
• Compatible with standard MegaPress press tooling and jaw sets
• Flame-free installation reduces fire risk in occupied or finished spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting for use within the Viega MegaPress press-fit piping system at 1/2-inch size. No additional compatible model numbers or replacement part numbers were specified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible press tool and the correct MegaPress jaw or ring set for 1/2-inch stainless steel fittings — consult the tool manufacturer's guide for proper jaw selection. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into existing lines. This fitting must be fully seated on the pipe end before pressing; an unpressed fitting will leak and must be removed and replaced, not re-pressed in place. Work should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).
