2" ProPress 90 Degree Elbow (Copper)

The 2" ProPress 90 Degree Elbow, identified by Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) Viega 77042 (Model 2916), is a high-performance copper fitting designed to create precise 90-degree directional changes in copper piping systems. This robust elbow is specifically engineered for 2-inch nominal pipe sizes and is suitable for a wide array of applications in commercial, industrial, and residential settings, including potable water systems, hot and cold water systems, heating systems, gas systems, and fire protection systems.

Constructed from durable copper, this ProPress fitting is designed for longevity and reliable performance. It features an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) sealing element (identifiable by a green dot) that ensures a consistent, strong, reliable, and watertight seal. The high-strength connection, when installed properly, is backed by a 50-year guarantee, highlighting its exceptional durability.

The core advantage of this Viega ProPress elbow lies in its patented ProPress technology, which enables rapid and efficient installations. Connections from 1/2" to 4" can be made in just four to seven seconds with a single squeeze of a press tool's trigger. This revolutionary method requires less equipment than traditional soldering, eliminates the need for flame, solder, or flux, and produces cleaner, safer installations.

A crucial feature for installation integrity is Viega's patented Smart Connect feature, which helps installers quickly and accurately identify unpressed connections during pressure testing, preventing costly callbacks. Furthermore, Viega ProPress minimizes system downtime by allowing for wet connections, making it the fastest solution for maintenance and emergency repair jobs on existing systems.
