Copper press fit obtuse elbows are ideal for installations where a gradual change in pipe direction is required to reduce flow resistance, improve system efficiency and maintain a clean, professional pipe layout. Used across domestic, commercial and industrial plumbing installations, these fittings provide consistent joint quality, reduced installation time and long-term reliability.

What Is a Copper Press Fit Obtuse Elbow?

A Copper Press Fit Obtuse Elbow is a press-fit pipe fitting used to change the direction of copper pipework at a wider angle than standard elbows. Using a press tool and compatible jaws, the fitting is mechanically crimped onto the pipe, forming a permanent, watertight seal without heat, adhesives or solvents.

Copper press fit obtuse elbows are commonly used for:

• Hot and cold water systems
• Central heating installations
• Commercial plumbing services
• Plant room and mechanical services
• Retrofit and refurbishment projects

Key benefits include:

• Rapid installation with minimal tools
• Permanent, leak-free joints
• No soldering or open flames
• Reduced fire and insurance risks
• Smoother directional flow and reduced turbulence
• Long service life and durability

• Domestic plumbing installations
