ProPress 90° Hi-Ear Elbow Adapter

This Viega ProPress fitting is a 90-degree hi-ear elbow adapter designed for potable water systems. It connects a 1/2-inch copper tube via press-fit on one side to a 1/2-inch FNPT thread on the other. The bronze body includes an EPDM O-ring for a secure seal. It meets ASTM B75 and ASTM B88 standards.

Suited for copper press installations needing

Installers pressing copper tubing who require a female threaded outlet at a right angle will use this adapter. The hi-ear design provides mounting stability for secure anchoring. It is not intended for systems exceeding the rated pressure or temperature limits. Buyers needing a press-to-press elbow or a different thread size must select another fitting.

Bronze body handles 200 psi at 250 °F continuously

Under sustained operating conditions the bronze construction and EPDM seal maintain integrity up to the maximum rated pressure of 200 psi and temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The press connection resists leakage during prolonged thermal cycling. The hi-ear mounting ears resist vibration and mechanical stress over long service periods.
