Conex bypass fitting single-socket 15 mm 5086015000000

Conex bypass fitting single-socket 15 mm is a plumbing component designed to provide an alternative flow path around a section of pipe or valve in water and heating installations. The single-socket configuration accepts 15 mm piping and is compatible with common materials such as copper and PEX. This bypass fitting allows temporary or permanent rerouting of water circulation to facilitate maintenance, isolation, or system balancing without draining whole loops.

Advantages

The single-socket bypass fitting offers a compact and simple solution for creating an auxiliary flow route in tight installation spaces. Its 15 mm size matches standard small-diameter distribution piping, ensuring compatibility with copper and PEX systems. The design enables quick integration into existing runs for maintenance tasks or when installing meters, regulators, or service valves. Constructed for plumbing use, the bypass fitting supports reliable water and heating system operation while minimising installation complexity.

Suitable for

• Creating an alternative flow path around a valve or section of pipe during maintenance
• Rerouting water in heating circuits or potable water distribution
• Temporary bypass for installation of meters, regulators or service components
• Small-diameter copper or PEX piping systems where a single-socket bypass is required

Key specifications

• Connection type: single-socket for 15 mm pipe
• Compatible pipe materials: copper, PEX and similar 15 mm systems
• Application: water and heating installations
• Use case: bypass / alternative flow path for maintenance and rerouting

How to use

Install the bypass fitting into the pipe run where an alternative flow path is needed, ensuring the socket is properly prepared for the chosen pipe material and joining method (e.g., soldering for copper or appropriate connection for PEX). Secure the fitting according to the installation practice for the piping system, check alignment and support, then pressurise the system and inspect for leaks. Use the bypass to divert flow temporarily during valve replacement, component installation, or system balancing, and close or remove the bypass when the main path is restored.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of joining techniques and materials before installation and follow local plumbing codes. For PEX connections use the manufacturer-recommended fittings and tools; for copper use proper flux and heating techniques. After installation, perform a pressure test and visual inspection to confirm a secure, leak-free connection.
