Copper 45° double-socket elbow Conex series 5000 15 mm

The Conex series 5000 45° double-socket elbow in copper with a 15 mm diameter is a compact fitting for changing the direction of copper pipe runs by 45 degrees. It is manufactured from corrosion-resistant copper to ensure reliable fluid conveyance in domestic plumbing and light commercial heating systems. The fitting accepts pipes in both sockets and is suitable for installations using push-fit or cap-style joining methods.

Advantages

This copper 45° elbow provides a space-saving directional change with minimal flow disruption thanks to its angled profile and smooth internal surface. Construction from copper offers inherent corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity for heating applications. The double-socket design accommodates two pipe ends securely and is compatible with standard 15 mm copper tubing, enabling straightforward integration into existing copper pipe networks.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water supply systems
• Residential and light-commercial heating circuits
• Plumbing layouts requiring compact directional changes
• Retrofitting and repairs of existing copper pipework

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 45°
• Connection type: double socket (cap-style or push-fit compatible)
• Nominal diameter: 15 mm
• Application: plumbing and heating systems
• Suitable for potable water and heating fluids (subject to local codes)

How to use

Ensure both pipe ends are cut square, deburred and cleaned before assembly. Slide the 15 mm copper pipes into each socket until fully seated; if using push-fit fittings, follow the manufacturer’s push-fit instructions to achieve a secure seal. For cap-style or soldered installations, prepare the joint according to the chosen method—apply flux where required and complete soldering or brazing with appropriate heat control. Verify alignment and clearances to maintain the intended 45° routing.

Usage recommendations

Observe applicable plumbing and building regulations and use compatible joining consumables. For potable water installations, confirm material compliance with local standards. When soldering or brazing, avoid overheating nearby components and ensure adequate ventilation. Periodically inspect installed fittings for signs of wear or leakage.
