Conex copper bypass 22 mm 5085 022000000 – plumbing pipe fitting, Cu 22mm

Conex copper bypass 22 mm is a plumbing pipe fitting made from copper, intended for creating bypass lines and alternative flow paths in water distribution and heating systems. Designed to connect to 22 mm copper pipes, this bypass fitting provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing suitable for radiator circuits, distribution loops, and maintenance bypass installations. The compact construction facilitates integration into existing pipework where temporary or permanent bypass routes are required.

Advantages

The copper construction offers long-term resistance to corrosion and thermal cycling while maintaining dimensional stability for consistent sealing. Compatibility with standard 22 mm copper pipe sizes allows straightforward installation with commonly used fittings and joining methods. Its design supports stable hydraulic performance in bypass and diversion applications and is suitable for both potable water and central heating systems where copper piping is specified.

Suitable for

• Bypass lines in radiator and heating circuits
• Temporary bypass during maintenance or repairs
• Diversion of flow in water distribution loops
• Connections in copper pipe networks with 22 mm diameter

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Nominal pipe size: 22 mm (for 22 mm copper pipe)
• Application: water and heating systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with standard 22 mm copper tubing and fittings
• Construction: solid copper body for corrosion resistance

How to use

Prepare the 22 mm copper pipe ends by cleaning and deburring to ensure proper fit and sealing. Install the bypass fitting using the appropriate joining method specified for the system—such as capillary soldering, brazing, or compatible mechanical connectors—following local plumbing regulations and manufacturer guidelines for copper fittings. Ensure alignment and adequate support of adjacent pipework to avoid stress on joints. After installation, pressure-test the circuit according to system requirements to verify leak-free connections.

Usage recommendations

Use in systems where copper is the specified material and where operating temperatures and pressures are within copper piping standards. Avoid mixing dissimilar metals without appropriate dielectric unions to prevent galvanic corrosion. For soldered joints, follow recommended flux and heating practices; for mechanical connections, ensure manufacturer torque and sealing instructions are observed.
