Viega ProPress 2-1/2" - 90° Copper Elbow - Street/Press Connection - Smart Connect Technology

The Viega ProPress 2-1/2" - 90° Copper Elbow with Street/Press Connection and Smart Connect Technology is a precision-engineered plumbing fitting designed for ASTM B88 and B75 copper tubing systems. This 90-degree elbow delivers reliable, leak-free performance in hydronic heating, potable water distribution, and industrial piping applications where press-connection speed and repeatability are critical requirements.

The ProPress fitting features an EPDM sealing element that maintains consistent pressure integrity across temperature cycling and thermal stress cycles common in both residential and commercial installations. The street connection design reduces fitting footprints in tight spaces, while the press connection system eliminates soldering, flux cleanup, and open-flame hazards entirely. Smart Connect Technology ensures proper actuator engagement, providing tactile and audible feedback to confirm successful press operations. Installation requires Viega ProPress XL-C rings and a V2 actuator, both engineered to work seamlessly with this elbow's geometry and sealing architecture.

This fitting is specified by mechanical contractors, plumbing professionals, and facilities managers working on new construction, retrofit, and maintenance projects where installation speed, code compliance, and long-term reliability cannot be compromised. The 2-1/2" size handles flow rates typical of commercial heating loops, chilled water returns, and large-diameter potable water branches. Copper construction provides inherent antimicrobial properties and proven 50+ year service life in both above-slab and in-wall installations.

Press-connection technology has become the standard across the professional trades because it eliminates the variables inherent in soldered joints—no flux residue, no cold-solder risk, no rework delays. The Viega ProPress system delivers consistent quality across every application, from freeze-protected chiller lines to high-temperature heating circuits, making it the choice for specifications that demand zero tolerance for leaks.
