Meet the QuickFitting 3/4 in. FTG x 3/4 in. Press Copper 90 Degree Street Elbow — a purpose-built connector that seamlessly joins a 3/4" female threaded copper end with a 3/4" pressed copper end, delivering a precise 90° turn in tight spaces. This elbow is designed for practical, real-world piping challenges where space and reliability matter.
-
Dual-ended configuration: End 1 is 3/4" FTG (female threaded); End 2 is 3/4" press, enabling a clean transition from threaded copper piping to a pressed copper line without bulky adaptors.
-
Copper construction: Durable, corrosion-resistant copper suitable for various copper piping applications and long-term service.
-
Underground rated: Built to withstand buried installations, making it a solid choice for concealed runs and outdoor piping projects per QuickFitting guidelines.
-
Efficient 90° street elbow: The compact angle handles tight spaces while maintaining reliable flow and minimizing bending stress on the pipe.
-
Code and certification note: Not NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 listed. Verify local codes and project requirements for systems that rely on NSF-listed components.
Ideal use cases
- Residential remodels or retrofit jobs where you must connect a threaded copper segment to a pressed copper run, reducing the number of fittings and potential leak points.
- Constrained installations behind cabinets, in utility bays, or along basement walls where a standard elbow won’t fit.
- Underground or buried piping sections that require a robust, durable copper elbow with a threaded-to-press transition.
Practical installation tips
- Prepare the FTG end with an appropriate thread sealant compatible with copper and your local plumbing code before threading to the mating component.
- Use a compatible press tool on the 3/4" end to ensure a secure, leak-free connection—follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions for proper jaws and cycle speed.
- When burying conduit or piping, perform a pressure test after installation to confirm joint integrity before backfilling.
- Remember the NSF note: since this product isn’t NSF-listed, ensure compliance with governing codes for any potable or regulated water applications.
Designed for builders, plumbers, and serious DIYers who need a reliable, space-efficient transition between threaded and pressed copper, the QuickFitting 3/4 in. FTG x 3/4 in.
