45-degree press-fit elbow
This Viega MegaPress fitting joins a 1/2-inch press connection to a 1/2-inch FTG copper tube at a 45-degree angle. It is built for potable-water systems where a compact directional change is needed without soldering.
Replaces soldered copper elbows
Installers move from torch-based joints to a press tool, eliminating open flame and flux on site. The switch is worthwhile when local codes allow press systems and the project demands faster, repeatable connections on stainless pipe.
200 psi and 250 °F service limits
Grade 316 stainless steel with an EPDM O-ring handles typical hot and cold water pressure and temperature ranges. The fitting is not rated for steam, high-pressure hydronics above 200 psi, or temperatures exceeding 250 °F.

Questions about this item
What pipe size does the 1/2" press-fit side of this 90080 elbow accept?
The press-fit side is sized for 1/2 in copper tube, matching the 1/2 in street end so the fitting joins two 1/2 in lines at a 45 degree angle.
Which tool and jaw set are required to press the 90080 fitting, and what step is often missed?
Use a Viega MegaPress press tool with the correct 1/2 in jaw; the step often missed is fully seating the pipe until the depth mark touches the fitting before pressing.
When should the EPDM O-ring in this 316 stainless elbow be inspected or replaced?
Inspect the EPDM O-ring during any system pressure test or after exposure to temperatures near the 250 F limit; replace it if cracking, hardening or leakage appears.
