Copper Elbow Conex 90° 18 mm model 5002A018000000 for plumbing connections

Conex Copper Elbow 90° 18 mm is a right-angle copper fitting designed to connect 18 mm copper pipe sections in plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems. The compact 90-degree bend enables efficient direction changes in confined spaces while maintaining reliable fluid flow. The fitting is suitable for mechanical and soldered joints and is manufactured to deliver consistent dimensional accuracy for routine installation and maintenance of potable water and heating circuits.

Advantages

The Conex copper elbow offers corrosion-resistant copper construction that ensures long-term durability in water and heating systems. Its precise 90° geometry provides a neat, space-saving turn with minimal flow disturbance. The part is compatible with standard 18 mm copper tubing and supports both soldered and mechanical connection methods, giving installers flexibility depending on site requirements and repair scenarios.

Suitable for

• Changing direction of 18 mm copper pipe runs in domestic potable water systems
• Routing 18 mm copper lines in central heating and radiator installations
• Use in refrigeration and chilled-water circuits where copper tubing is specified
• Tight-space plumbing where compact 90° turns are required

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Nominal tube size: 18 mm
• Connection methods: soldering or mechanical joint
• Typical applications: potable water, heating, refrigeration

How to use

Prepare the 18 mm copper pipes by cutting square and deburring the ends. For soldered joints, clean the pipe and fitting surfaces, apply flux, assemble the joint and heat uniformly until solder flows to form a secure seal. For mechanical connections, follow the specific compression or push-fit manufacturer instructions to ensure correct insertion depth and sealing. Verify alignment and make sure the elbow provides the intended 90° change without stressing adjacent pipe runs.

Usage recommendations

Ensure system pressure and temperature ratings are compatible with copper fittings used. When assembling soldered joints, work in a well-ventilated area and follow local plumbing codes. For mechanical joints, use compatible seals and check for leaks under test pressure before commissioning the system.
