MacPress Gas Obtuse Street Elbows
The MacPress Gas Obtuse Street Elbows department offers a specialised press fit solution for gas installations requiring a wider angle change while maintaining a compact male to female connection. Designed for flame free installation, these fittings help reduce joint count, improve pipe alignment, and deliver reliable performance in both domestic and commercial gas systems.
The MacPress Gas Obtuse Street Elbows range is designed to provide smooth directional changes in gas pipework where a standard angle elbow is not suitable. Featuring a male threaded style end combined with a female press socket, obtuse street elbows allow installers to achieve precise pipe routing without the need for additional fittings or couplings. This results in cleaner layouts and reduced installation time, particularly in tight or complex pipe runs.
Using press fit technology, MacPress Gas Obtuse Street Elbows eliminate the need for soldering, welding, or brazing, significantly improving safety by removing hot works from the installation process. This makes them ideal for retrofit projects, occupied buildings, and environments where fire risk must be minimised.
Manufactured to meet BS EN 1254 7:2021 standards, these fittings offer excellent mechanical strength, low expansion characteristics, and consistent long term performance. Their design supports a wide operating temperature range, ensuring system stability and durability over time.
When installed with compatible press tools, MacPress Gas Obtuse Street Elbows deliver a secure, leak resistant joint that professionals can rely on. Backed by a 20 year warranty, they form an essential component of the complete MacPress gas press system, supporting compliant, efficient, and professional gas installations.
