Description
SCI® Press - Copper 90° Extended Street Elbow
SCI® Press - Copper 90° Extended Street Elbow provides a 90-degree directional change with a press connection on one end and an extended male street connection on the other for compatible copper piping systems.
Identified by SCI as Fig. SP699L, this fitting uses a Press x Male Street Extended configuration. The SCI Press Copper system is manufactured from copper alloy conforming to UNS C12200 and uses a peroxide-cured Grade “E” EPDM sealing element to create a mechanical copper piping connection without conventional soldering or brazing.

Construction Details
The SCI® Press Copper 90° Extended Street Elbow is manufactured from copper alloy conforming to UNS C12200. The fitting combines an SCI Press connection with an extended male street end in a 90-degree elbow configuration.
The press connection incorporates a Grade “E” peroxide-cured EPDM sealing element with silicone grease. SCI specifies an operating temperature range of -20°F to 248°F for the EPDM sealing material.
SCI recommends the EPDM material for water service, diluted acids, alkaline solutions, oil-free air, and many other compatible chemical services.
Important: SCI states that fluids containing hydrocarbon-based oils are not compatible with the EPDM seal and that the fitting is not for use in petroleum applications.
90° Extended Street Configuration
90-Degree Direction Change
The SP699L redirects the copper piping run by 90 degrees while combining two different connection styles in a single fitting.
Extended Male Street End
The fitting combines an SCI Press connection with an extended male street end. The extended configuration distinguishes the SP699L from SCI's standard SP699 Copper 90° Street Elbow.
Extended Street Elbow Design
The SP699L is specifically identified by SCI as a CU P x MS EXTND STREET 90 ELL. This configuration provides a press connection on one side and an extended male street connection on the opposite side.
The extended street end provides additional reach compared with a standard street-elbow configuration, making the fitting useful when the piping arrangement requires additional connection length at the 90-degree transition.
This integrated configuration can help simplify copper piping layouts by providing the required directional change and extended street connection in one fitting.
SP699L vs. Standard SP699 Street Elbow
SP699L Extended Street Elbow
The SP699L uses a press x extended male street configuration. Select this design when the installation requires the additional reach provided by the extended street end.
SP699 Standard Street Elbow
The SP699 is SCI's standard Press Copper 90° Street Elbow. Both fittings provide a 90-degree turn, but the SP699L is specifically manufactured with the extended street-end configuration.
SCI® Press Copper Connection
SCI Press Technology provides a mechanical copper piping connection that eliminates the need for conventional soldering or brazing. SCI states that the system is compatible with common pressing tools and jaws.
SCI Press Copper Fittings are intended for use with ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M hard copper tubing from 1/2" through 4" and soft copper tubing from 1/2" through 1-1/4".
SCI states that its Press Copper fittings are approved for installations above and below ground where permitted by applicable local building codes.
ASTM B88 Copper Tubing Compatibility
Hard Copper Tubing
The SCI Press Copper fitting system is intended for use with ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M hard copper tubing in compatible system sizes.
Soft Copper Tubing
SCI also specifies system compatibility with ASTM B88 soft copper tubing in applicable system sizes. Confirm tubing and fitting compatibility before installation.
EPDM Sealing Element
The SCI Press Copper system uses a peroxide-cured Grade “E” EPDM O-ring. SCI lists an operating temperature range of -20°F to 248°F for this sealing material.
The EPDM seal is recommended by SCI for water service, diluted acids, alkaline solutions, oil-free air, and many other compatible chemical services.
Fluids containing hydrocarbon-based oils are not compatible with the EPDM seal. Do not use these fittings in petroleum applications.
