Copper 45° 2-socket elbow Conex series 5000 22 mm

Copper 45° two-socket elbow from Conex series 5000 for 22 mm pipe systems. This fitting is manufactured from copper and engineered to join two copper tubes at a 45-degree angle using cap or soldered connections. It provides a compact directional change and a fluid-tight joint suitable for heating, potable water and general plumbing installations in residential and light commercial environments.

Advantages

The Conex series 5000 45° elbow offers corrosion-resistant copper construction and dimensional accuracy for consistent fit on 22 mm copper tubes. Its two-socket design simplifies alignment and reduces installation time when making angled changes in pipe runs. The product is compatible with standard cap or soldering techniques, creating reliable, long-term joints for pressurized water and heating systems. Its compact form factor minimizes space requirements in tight installations.

Suitable for

• Residential hot and cold water distribution
• Central heating pipework and radiator connections
• Plumbing installations in kitchens and bathrooms
• Light commercial plumbing and service risers
• Retrofit and repair work where a 45° change of direction is required

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 45°
• Connection type: Two-socket for cap or soldered joints
• Nominal tube size: 22 mm
• Application: Hot and cold potable water, heating systems, general plumbing

How to use

Prepare tubing ends by cutting square and deburring internal and external edges. Clean mating surfaces and apply appropriate flux if using soldering methods. Insert copper tubes fully into both sockets to ensure correct engagement, maintaining alignment for a true 45° change. Heat evenly and apply solder, or use recommended cap fittings and techniques according to applicable plumbing standards. Allow joints to cool and inspect for continuity and leak tightness before pressurization.

Usage recommendations

Use only with compatible 22 mm copper tubes and follow local plumbing codes for soldering or cap connection procedures. Ensure system is depressurized and drained before installation. For potable water systems, confirm materials and joining methods meet water quality regulations. When used in heating systems, consider system expansion and support to avoid stress on joints.
