Construction Details
The SCI Press Copper 90° Reducing Elbow combines a 90-degree directional change with an integrated tubing-size transition, allowing two different compatible copper tubing sizes to be connected with one fitting.
SCI Press Copper Fittings are designed for compatible ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M copper tubing and use mechanical press connections that eliminate conventional soldering or brazing at the fitting joints.
The reducing configuration is useful where a piping run needs to change direction and transition to a smaller tubing size within the same connection point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SCI Press Copper 90° Reducing Elbow used for?
It changes piping direction by 90 degrees while connecting two different compatible copper tubing sizes.
How is a reducing elbow different from a standard 90° elbow?
A standard 90° elbow connects matching tubing sizes, while a reducing elbow incorporates a transition between different tubing sizes.
What connections does the reducing elbow use?
The fitting uses mechanical press connections for joining compatible copper tubing.
What copper tubing is compatible with SCI Press fittings?
SCI Press Copper Fittings are designed for compatible ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M copper tubing within the manufacturer's specified application range.
Does installation require soldering or brazing?
No. SCI Press fittings use mechanical press connections, eliminating conventional soldering or brazing at the press joints.
Can common pressing tools and jaws be used?
Yes. SCI Press Copper technology is designed for use with compatible common pressing tools and jaws.
Should the piping system be pressure tested after installation?
Yes. Inspect the completed press connections and pressure test the system according to SCI instructions and applicable codes.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both tubing sizes, connection configuration, tubing compatibility, press-tool requirements, and the intended piping application.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both tubing sizes.
- Verify the reducing orientation.
- Follow SCI installation instructions.
- Use compatible press tools.
- Pressure test completed connections.
