Angled wall elbow Conex 18x1/2" bronze for soldered and threaded connections, model 4472G018004000

Conex angled wall elbow 18x1/2" in bronze (model 4472G018004000) is a compact 90° fitting designed to connect copper or metal pipes to fixtures, valves or appliances. It supports both soldered (lutowane) and threaded connections, allowing a secure transition between pipework and fixtures where a wall-mounted change of direction is needed. The elbow is suitable for installations that require a stable, space-saving turn close to the wall and where mixed joint types are used.

Advantages

The bronze construction delivers corrosion resistance and durability in water distribution systems and heating installations. Dual-connection capability—one end prepared for soldering and the other threaded—gives installation flexibility and reduces the need for additional adapters. Its compact 90° profile keeps the fitting close to the wall, saving space and providing a neat finish around valves and appliances.

Suitable for

• Connecting copper or metal piping to wall-mounted valves and fixtures
• Installations requiring a combination of soldered and threaded joints
• Space-constrained plumbing runs where a compact 90° turn is needed
• Domestic water supply and heating system connections

Key specifications

• Material: bronze
• Connection types: one end for soldering, one threaded end
• Pipe size compatibility: 18 mm to 1/2" connection interface
• Angle: 90°
• Application: water and heating system plumbing

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and cleaning surfaces according to standard plumbing practice. For the soldered joint, flux and solder the copper or compatible metal pipe into the solder-ready end following recommended heating and safety procedures. Thread the mating valve or fitting onto the threaded end using appropriate thread sealant or tape as required for the application. Ensure the elbow is oriented to provide the desired wall clearance and that all joints are tightened and inspected for leaks before putting the system into service.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate flux and solder materials compatible with bronze and the connected pipe material. When making the threaded connection, apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for potable water if used in water supply systems. Verify local plumbing codes for suitability in potable water or heating applications and pressure ratings before installation.
