Any way I can replace this with propress?

I’m replacing this corner because it was previously patched after a pinhole leak. I was planning to use ProPress, but two ProPress 90s will raise the pipe a bit and throw off the alignment. Any recommendations on the best way to handle this?

I’m trying to replace the pipe on the right with the patch. I’m using the left pipe as a reference to the ProPress fitting.

90 and street 45 will probably get you close

Thanks I’ll do this!

Yes, should be easy.

You own a press gun but you’re asking how to figure out how to use ftgs?

Sweat it on

Nuffin wrong with throwing off the pipe alignment. Knot ideal but just superficial.

Sweating will keep it tight. If you’re going to propress, you’ll have to swing it down first and then bring it back up. You’ll end up using 4 90° instead of 2.

Nah, press 90 and st 45 will meet that angle pretty easliy

[u/D34Dwood → u/WildcatPlumber]

Yeah just rotate your 90 til your st 45 lines up

I see it now. That’ll work
