Construction Details
The SCI Press Copper 90° Street Elbow combines a press connection with a street-style tube end, allowing the fitting to make a right-angle transition while connecting directly into a compatible press fitting.
SCI Press Copper Fittings are designed for compatible ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M copper tubing and provide a mechanical press connection without conventional soldering or brazing.
The street configuration is especially useful where installation space is limited or where reducing the number of fittings in a piping assembly can simplify the layout.
