Copper 90° double-socket elbow Conex series 5000 28 mm

Copper 90° double-socket elbow Conex series 5000 28 mm is a compact plumbing fitting designed to change the direction of copper pipework by 90 degrees. The fitting features two socket ends sized for 28 mm pipe and is compatible with capillary soldering or compatible push-fit systems depending on the installation method chosen. It is intended for potable water, heating circuits and other copper pipe systems in residential and commercial buildings where a right-angle turn is required in a confined space.

Advantages

The Conex series 5000 copper elbow offers corrosion-resistant copper construction that ensures long-term durability in standard water and heating applications. Its double-socket format provides a secure joining method for 28 mm copper tubes and enables a compact installation with minimal additional fittings. The design supports conventional capillary soldering and may also be used with approved push-fit connectors when system compatibility allows, giving flexibility during installation.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Copper pipe rerouting in confined or boxed-in spaces
• Plumbing repairs and modifications requiring a 90° change of direction

Key specifications

• Material: copper suitable for plumbing applications
• Connection type: double socket for 28 mm copper tube
• Angle: 90° elbow for right-angle changes in pipe direction
• Installation methods: capillary soldering or compatible push-fit systems (subject to system compatibility)
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare and cut the 28 mm copper pipes square and deburr the ends before assembly. For capillary soldering, clean the pipe and socket surfaces, apply appropriate flux, insert the pipe fully into the socket and perform soldering according to applicable codes and safe working practices. If using a compatible push-fit system, verify compatibility with the Conex series socket and follow the push-fit manufacturer's instructions to ensure a secure, watertight connection. After installation, inspect joints and pressure-test the system as required to confirm leak-free operation.

Usage recommendations

Use fittings and installation methods approved for the specific plumbing system and local regulations. Avoid exposing the copper elbow to dissimilar metals without appropriate dielectric isolation to reduce risk of galvanic corrosion. When soldering, ensure proper ventilation and follow safety guidelines for flame use; when using push-fit installation, confirm the pipe is fully inserted and free of damage or deformation.
