Copper 45° Elbow Joint Conex series 5000 28 mm

Copper 45° Elbow Joint Conex series 5000 28 mm is a precision-formed copper fitting intended to change the direction of 28 mm copper pipe runs by 45 degrees. Designed for use in plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems, the elbow fits into installations where soldered or brazed joints are required and where a compact directional transition is needed. The fitting is manufactured to allow durable, leak-resistant connections when installed according to applicable standards and best practices.

Advantages

This 45° copper elbow delivers reliable directional change with minimal flow disturbance and preserves the thermal and conductive properties of copper in heating and refrigeration circuits. Its smooth internal profile reduces turbulence and pressure loss compared with improvised bends, and the material provides long-term resistance to corrosion under normal potable water and HVAC conditions. The fitting is compatible with standard soldering and brazing methods, enabling a secure metallurgical joint when prepared and joined correctly.

Suitable for

• Plumbing systems for potable water and distribution lines
• Heating installations including radiators and underfloor heating circuits
• Refrigeration and air conditioning pipework where copper is specified
• Retrofit and new-build projects requiring durable soldered or brazed joints

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Connection type: designed for soldering or brazing
• Nominal pipe size: 28 mm
• Typical applications: potable water, heating, refrigeration

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs, then clean and degrease mating surfaces. Fit the elbow onto the pipe to check alignment, apply appropriate flux if required by the joining method, and perform soldering or brazing with the correct filler material and heat source following manufacturer and local installation standards. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed and inspect visually and with pressure testing as applicable to confirm a leak-free connection.

Usage recommendations

Use qualified installation practices and comply with local plumbing and HVAC regulations. Select solder or braze alloy compatible with the system media and operating temperatures, and ensure proper support and thermal expansion allowances for copper pipe runs to maintain joint integrity over time.
