Press Fit Water Street Elbow Obtuse - 15Mm

Press Fit Water Street Elbow Obtuse - 15Mm

The 15mm Press Fit Water Street Obtuse Elbow (also known as a 45-degree spigot elbow) is a high-performance copper fitting designed for ultra-compact directional changes in modern plumbing and heating systems. Unlike a standard elbow with two female sockets, the "Street" design features one female press-fit socket and one male spigot end. This allows the fitting to be inserted directly into another press-fit socket, saving space and reducing the number of joints required in tight configurations.

Engineered for flame-free installation, this fitting uses a professional hydraulic press tool to create a permanent mechanical bond, making it ideal for "no-hot-works" sites and rapid system assembly.

Common Applications

Compact Offsets: Creating a "kick" or offset in pipework by inserting the spigot directly into a 90° elbow or tee.

Renovations & Retrofits: Perfect for high-speed installation in occupied buildings where the use of a blowlamp is restricted.
