Meet the QuickFitting 1 in. Press in. FTG in. Copper 90 Degree Street Elbow — a purpose-built connector that streamlines copper piping projects where speed and reliability matter. One end accepts a press-to-fit connection for copper, delivering a secure, solder-free joint. The opposite end features a female threaded (FTG) connection that accepts standard male-threaded fittings. This combination lets you convert a copper run into a threaded path with no torch, flux, or soldering required.
Why this matters in real-world setups:
-
Solder-free installation reduces fire risk, speeds up project timelines, and keeps work areas clean and safe.
-
Underground rated design gives you confidence for soil-to-pipe installations and buried sections of a system.
-
NSF-listed ensures suitability for potable water, meeting safety standards for drinking water systems.
-
90-degree street elbow geometry helps you navigate tight spaces, corners, and obstructions with precision.
-
Copper construction provides durable corrosion resistance and compatibility with common copper piping networks.

Practical installation tips
- Prepare and deburr the copper pipe before pressing to ensure a clean, leak-free joint.
- Use a compatible press tool and jaws approved for 1 in. copper connections to activate the press end correctly.
- On the FTG side, thread the appropriate male-threaded adapter onto the elbow's female threads and apply standard thread sealant or PTFE tape as needed for the chosen fitting.
- Verify alignment before tightening; once pressed, the copper end forms a sealed, durable joint designed for long-term service.
