ProPress 45° Street Elbow 1-1/2

The Viega 77068 ProPress fitting connects 1-1/2 inch copper tubing in potable-water systems using a press-fit joint on one end and a street connection on the other. It is designed for plumbers who need a fast, flame-free installation method. The copper body with an EPDM O-ring meets ASTM B75 and ASTM B88 standards for reliable service.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

This passive fitting adds no heat, noise or electrical load to a plumbing system. Its copper construction handles continuous water temperatures up to 250 degrees F and pressures up to 200 psi without degradation. Performance depends entirely on the pump and piping layout chosen by the installer.

Bundled Accessories and Software

The elbow ships as a single fitting with the EPDM O-ring already seated in the press end. No additional adapters, sealants, tools or software are included in the package. Installers must supply a compatible ProPress tool and jaws to complete the crimp connection.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 77068 ProPress elbow and what step is often missed?

Clean the 1-1/2 in copper tube ends, confirm the EPDM O-ring is seated, insert fully into the press-fit and FTG ends, then press with a calibrated ProPress tool; skipping the depth-mark check is the common error.

What maintenance or replacement will the 77068 elbow need over time?

The EPDM O-ring can harden after repeated thermal cycles up to 250 Degrees F; inspect for weeping during routine system checks and replace the fitting if the seal no longer holds at 200 psi.

What limit appears first on the 77068 elbow during sustained high-temperature use?

The 250 Degrees F maximum operating temperature is reached before the 200 psi pressure rating becomes critical, so prolonged exposure near that temperature dictates the service limit.
