  • 90-degree drop ear elbow secures copper tubing to wall
  • Press-fit connection installs without soldering or open flame
  • EPDM O-ring seals potable water lines up to 200 psi
  • Bronze body withstands temperatures up to 250°F
  • 1/2 in press and FNPT ends join copper to threaded pipe

ProPress Bronze Drop-Ear Elbow

The Viega ProPress 2925.5 is a bronze crimp elbow designed for potable-water lines. It joins a 1/2 in copper tube on the press-fit side to a 1/2 in FNPT thread on the other. A 90 degree drop-ear profile with an integrated wall plate secures the fitting to framing, making it suitable for supply drops to fixtures or appliances. EPDM O-ring material provides the seal on the press connection.

Sustained pressure and temperature performance

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 250 degrees F. These limits apply to continuous service in hot- or cold-water distribution. The bronze body and EPDM seal maintain integrity under prolonged thermal cycling and static pressure without the degradation seen in short-term burst tests. Installers should verify that system design stays within both ratings simultaneously.

Pre-installation checks

Confirm that the pipe is 1/2 in copper tube sized for press-fit tools and that the mating thread is 1/2 in FNPT. Ensure the wall plate can be fastened to solid blocking or studs at the planned location. Verify that the overall length of 2 1/2 in fits the available cavity and that no local code restricts bronze press fittings for the intended potable-water application.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the bronze body and EPDM seal handle in a continuously running hot-water line?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 250 Degrees F, so the bronze body and EPDM O-ring stay within spec in typical residential hot-water loops.

Which press tool and jaw set must I already own to make a watertight joint on the 1/2 in press-fit end?

You need a Viega ProPress-compatible press tool with the correct 1/2 in jaw or actuator for copper tube size; the press-fit end will not seal with standard crimp or expansion tools.

Will the 1/2 in FNPT thread mate cleanly with existing galvanised or brass pipe nipples I want to keep?

Yes, the 1/2 in FNPT side follows standard NPT threading, so it threads onto matching male pipe nipples of galvanised steel, brass or copper without adapters.
