Press fit female elbows are widely used across domestic, commercial and industrial plumbing installations where reliability, speed and consistent joint quality are essential.

What Is a Press Fit Female Elbow?

A Press Fit Female Elbow is a press-fit pipe fitting with one press-fit end and one internal female threaded end, typically at a 90-degree angle. Using a press tool and compatible jaws, the press side of the elbow is mechanically crimped onto the pipe, forming a permanent, watertight seal without heat, adhesives or solvents. The female threaded end allows connection to male threaded components such as valves, taps, pumps and equipment.

Press fit female 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
• Clean, professional finish
• Long service life and durability
