Press Fit Gas 45Deg Street Elbow - 28Mm

Press Fit Gas 45Deg Street Elbow - 28Mm

The 28mm Press Fit Gas 45° Street Elbow is a professional-grade copper fitting designed for rapid, flame-free installation of gas carcasses and primary gas feeds. This "Street" (or spigot) version features one female press-fit socket and one male spigot end, allowing it to be inserted directly into another press-fit fitting. This is particularly useful for creating precise offsets or tight turns in commercial boiler rooms and large domestic gas runs where space is at a premium.

Specifically engineered for gas applications, this fitting features a high-visibility Yellow HNBR O-ring, distinguishing it from water fittings and ensuring a safe, permanent seal against natural gas and LPG.

Key Features and Specifications
