Copper 90° Elbow Conex 5090 for Soldered Joints, 22 mm

Conex 5090 is a 90° copper elbow designed for soldered joints, compatible with 22 mm outside diameter copper pipe. Intended for use in potable water and heating systems, this elbow provides a compact right-angle change of direction while maintaining continuous metallic conductivity and corrosion resistance typical of copper fittings. The fitting is suitable for standard soldering techniques and integrates into conventional copper piping layouts used by professionals and skilled DIY installers.

Advantages

The Conex 5090 elbow offers durable copper construction that withstands thermal cycling in heating and hot water systems. Its 90° geometry delivers a precise change of direction with minimal flow restriction when correctly installed. Designed for soldered joints, the fitting provides reliable mechanical and leak-tight connections when assembled with appropriate flux and solder. Compatibility with 22 mm copper pipe ensures straightforward integration into common residential and commercial plumbing networks.

Suitable for

• Cold and hot water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Plumbing installations requiring soldered copper joints
• Repair and modification of existing copper pipe networks

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90°
• Connection type: designed for soldered (capillary) joints
• Compatible pipe outside diameter: 22 mm
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the inside and outside faces. Clean fitting and pipe surfaces with an appropriate abrasive cloth or brush and apply flux recommended for potable water systems. Assemble the joint by inserting the pipe fully into the elbow and heat evenly with a suitable heat source until the solder flows into the capillary gap. Allow the joint to cool naturally, then remove any excess flux and test the assembly for leaks at working pressure before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use approved plumbing solder and flux compatible with potable water when assembling joints. Follow local codes for installation and pressure testing, and ensure soldering is performed by a competent tradesperson or trained installer to achieve durable, leak-free connections.
