Copper 45° Elbow Fitting Conex series 5000 22 mm

Copper 45° Elbow Fitting Conex series 5000 22 mm is a plumbing component designed to change the direction of copper pipe runs by 45 degrees. Manufactured from copper, this elbow is intended for use in potable water, central heating and general plumbing systems where a reliable, long-lasting joint is required. The fitting is compatible with standard 22 mm copper pipe and is installed using the appropriate jointing method for the system, such as compression or soldering according to local practice and system requirements.

Advantages

The copper construction provides good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and mechanical strength for plumbing and heating applications. Its 45° angle allows smoother directional changes than a 90° elbow, reducing flow resistance and simplifying routing in confined spaces. The Conex series 5000 design follows common dimensional standards for straightforward integration with existing copper pipework and fittings.

Suitable for

• Potable hot and cold water distribution
• Central heating pipework
• Domestic and commercial plumbing installations
• Repair and retrofit work on copper systems

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Compatibility: Designed for use with standard 22 mm copper pipe
• Application temperature range: suitable for typical potable water and central heating temperatures (follow system specifications)

How to use

Select the appropriate jointing method for your installation and local regulations. For soldered joints, prepare the pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning, then apply flux and heat to achieve a secure capillary solder connection with the elbow. For compression joints, assemble according to the compression fitting manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct placement of olives and nuts and tightening to the recommended torque. Ensure the system is drained or isolated before installation and pressure-tested after completion according to applicable standards.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 22 mm copper pipe and approved jointing materials. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for soldering temperatures, flux selection and compression tightening. Inspect joints after installation and perform pressure tests to verify leak-free performance.
