Copper 45° Elbow Connector Conex series 5000 15 mm

The Copper 45° Elbow Connector Conex series 5000 15 mm is a precision plumbing fitting designed to provide a fixed 45-degree change of direction in 15 mm copper tubing systems. Intended for potable water and heating applications, this elbow offers a durable copper construction that ensures reliable joints in both residential and commercial pipework. The part is compatible with standard 15 mm copper pipe and is suitable for use in new installations as well as repairs and re-routing of existing systems.

Advantages

This Conex series 5000 45° elbow is made from copper to resist corrosion and provide long-term service in water and heating systems. Its fixed 45-degree angle simplifies layout planning and reduces the need for additional fittings. The connector is dimensioned for standard 15 mm copper tubing, ensuring consistent fit and secure joints when properly installed. Its material and design support hygienic potable water applications and compatibility with common soldering or mechanical joining methods where applicable.

Suitable for

• 15 mm copper potable water supply lines
• Domestic and light-commercial heating circuits
• Pipe routing in tight spaces requiring a 45° turn
• Repair or replacement of damaged elbow sections
• New plumbing installations using standard copper tubing

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 45° fixed
• Nominal pipe size: 15 mm
• Application: Potable water and heating systems
• Suitable environments: Indoor plumbing and heating installations

How to use

Prepare the 15 mm copper tubing by cutting square and deburring the pipe ends. Clean the joint surfaces to remove oxidation and contaminants according to the chosen joining method. Position the elbow onto the pipe ends to achieve the required 45° change of direction. Join the connection using the appropriate technique for the system—such as capillary soldering, brazing, or the specified mechanical joining method—following local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for temperature and flux use. Allow the joint to cool and inspect for secure seating and leak-free performance before restoring water flow.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when soldering or brazing and follow applicable building codes. Ensure pipe supports and clamps are installed to prevent undue stress on the elbow and adjacent joints. For potable water systems, verify compatibility with system materials and any local approvals required for installation.
