Viega ProPress 1-1/2" - 45° Copper Elbow - Street/Press Connection - Smart Connect Technology

The Viega ProPress 1-1/2" - 45° Copper Elbow with Street/Press Connection and Smart Connect Technology is a precision plumbing component engineered for reliable water system installations in remote cabins, hunting camps, and off-grid properties. Built for ASTM B88 copper tubing, this 45-degree elbow serves as a critical transition fitting where space constraints demand a compact angle change. Field-proven by professionals who depend on systems that perform under harsh conditions, this fitting eliminates the guesswork from pressure-sealed connections.

The street/press connection design combines a male press end with a female street socket, allowing seamless integration into existing copper tube runs without additional adapters. The press connection method uses Viega's proprietary Smart Connect Technology to create permanent, leak-free seals without soldering, brazing, or threading—eliminating open flames and complex tools that aren't practical in field conditions. The EPDM sealing element ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance in both potable water and radiant heating applications. At just 0.55 lbs with compact 2 x 2 x 4-inch dimensions, the fitting installs easily in tight spaces typical of equipment sheds, utility closets, or remote water systems.

Hunters, property managers, and off-grid operators benefit most from this fitting's speed and reliability—especially when system repairs or expansions are needed during field seasons. The 1-1/2" diameter handles substantial flow rates suitable for whole-property water distribution, while the 45-degree angle accommodates routing challenges in cabins, outbuildings, or mobile camp setups. Compatible exclusively with ASTM B88 copper tubing, this elbow pairs with standard Viega press tools and connects to other ProPress fittings for fully integrated systems. No freezing risk, no solder cleanup, no special licensing required—just press, seal, and move on to what matters.
