Copper 90° Elbow Conex 5001A for Soldered Joints 28 mm

The Conex 5001A Copper 90° Elbow for Soldered Joints 28 mm is a right-angle copper fitting designed for use with 28 mm copper tubing. Intended for capillary or soft-solder installation, this elbow provides a dependable 90° turn in copper pipe runs where a rigid, corrosion-resistant joint is required. It is suitable for plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems that use soldered copper connections and requires standard soldering techniques to create a sealed joint.

Advantages

This Conex copper elbow is manufactured from corrosion-resistant copper material that supports long service life in potable water, heating and refrigeration environments. The product is compatible with capillary and soft-soldering methods, enabling secure joints with proven leak-tight performance. Its 28 mm size matches common copper tubing standards, simplifying replacement and retrofit work without the need for adapters.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water supply lines
• Central heating circuits and radiator connections
• Refrigeration and air-conditioning copper piping
• Soldered copper plumbing installations and repairs

Key specifications

• Material: copper suitable for soldered joints
• Connection type: capillary / soft-solder joint
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Tubing size compatibility: 28 mm
• Application environment: potable water, heating, refrigeration

How to use

Prepare the 28 mm copper tube ends by cutting square and deburring the inside and outside. Clean the fitting socket and tube ends to bright copper using a suitable abrasive or chemical cleaner to remove oxides and contaminants. Assemble the joint with appropriate flux applied to the mating surfaces, then heat evenly with a furnace or torch until the solder flows into the capillary gap. Allow the joint to cool naturally and inspect for continuous solder fillets and proper alignment before placing the system back into service.

Usage recommendations

Use approved plumbing flux and solder compatible with potable water systems where required by local codes. Follow safety practices for soldering, including ventilation, heat protection and checking for nearby combustible materials. Pressure-test the system after installation to verify leak-free performance before full operation.
