The Plumbright Copper Press-Fit Fitting 22mm 45 Degree Street Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and experienced DIYers looking to streamline pipe installations in domestic, commercial, and industrial settings. This fitting offers the significant advantage of heat-free jointing, which eliminates the need for hot work permits and reduces fire risks on site; however, it requires a compatible M-Profile press tool to ensure a secure, permanent connection.

No, these fittings are specifically designed for use with copper pipe and are not compatible with plastic or PEX piping.
Yes, always deburr the pipe and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any grease or debris before inserting it into the fitting.
Yes, the copper press-fit system is designed as a permanent connection and cannot be disassembled once pressed.
A street elbow has one male end (spigot) that fits directly into another fitting, eliminating the need for an extra coupling and reducing the overall joint count.
No, once the press cycle is performed, the joint is locked in place and should not be rotated or adjusted.
Always check your local building codes and the manufacturer's specific data sheet regarding gas compatibility, as press fittings often have specific requirements for gas applications.
Check if the pipe was fully inserted to the depth mark, ensure the fitting was free of dirt, and verify the press tool jaws were aligned correctly.
Ensure the pipe end has been deburred and is not ovalized; a pipe rounding tool may be required.
Verify the jaw profile is M-profile and ensure the fitting is seated properly in the jaw groove.
To ensure a successful installation, first cut the 22mm copper pipe squarely and remove all burrs from both the inside and outside of the pipe end. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe to confirm it is fully seated inside the fitting. Use only a compatible M-profile press tool and verify that the jaws are free from debris before clamping. Once installed, the joint requires no ongoing maintenance beyond standard periodic visual inspections of the pipe system for leaks or environmental corrosion. Keep the fittings stored in a dry environment to prevent oxidation prior to installation.
