Copper 90° Elbow Conex 5090 for Soldered Joints, 35 mm

Conex 5090 Copper 90° Elbow for Soldered Joints, 35 mm is a right-angle copper fitting designed for use in plumbing, heating and refrigeration systems where a change of direction is required. Manufactured for capillary and brazed/soldered installation, this elbow matches standard 35 mm copper pipe diameters and is intended for use with potable water and closed heating circuits when installed according to applicable codes and with compatible materials.

Advantages

The Conex 5090 elbow is made from copper, which offers good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and reliable mechanical stability for pressurized piping systems. Its geometry provides a compact 90° change of direction that minimises space requirements and maintains steady flow characteristics in copper pipe runs. The fitting is suitable for capillary soldering and brazing, enabling secure joints when assembled by qualified personnel using appropriate flux and filler material.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Central heating and radiator circuits
• Refrigeration and air conditioning pipework compatible with copper
• Plumbing installations requiring a compact 90° directional change

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Shape: 90° elbow
• Connection type: Designed for capillary soldering/brazing (soldered joints)
• Nominal diameter: 35 mm
• Application: Suitable for potable water, heating and refrigeration circuits when compatible with copper piping

How to use

Prepare the mating copper pipes by cutting to length and deburring the ends, then clean the pipe and fitting connection areas to remove oxidation and contaminants. Apply an appropriate flux to the joint, assemble the elbow onto the pipe to full depth, and perform capillary soldering or brazing using suitable filler metal and a heat source appropriate for copper fittings. Allow the joint to cool naturally and inspect for a continuous solder fillet and leak-free connection before placing the system into service. Installation should follow local plumbing codes and industry practice.

Usage recommendations

Use only compatible fluxes and filler alloys for copper piping, avoid overheating the fitting during brazing to prevent deformation, and pressure-test the system after cooling to verify joint integrity. For potable water and heating systems, ensure materials and installation methods meet local regulations and consider using qualified installers for soldered joints.
