Copper elbow 90° single-socket Conex series 5000 22 mm

Conex series 5000 copper 90° single-socket elbow, 22 mm, is a plumbing fitting designed for creating a right-angle change in copper tubing runs. One end of the fitting has a socket for capillary or push-fit connection while the opposite end accepts plain copper tube. It is intended for use in potable water, heating and general plumbing systems where a compact, reliable elbow is required.

Advantages

The single-socket design allows a secure soldered or press-fit connection on one side while permitting direct insertion of tube on the other, simplifying installations that combine different joining methods. Being manufactured in copper, the elbow offers good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and mechanical strength suitable for domestic and commercial plumbing. Its 90° angle provides a compact directional change that helps route piping in confined spaces and close to radiators or appliances.

Suitable for

• Directional changes in copper water or heating pipework
• Radiator and boiler connections where one socketed joint is preferred
• Tight-space installations requiring a compact 90° elbow
• Combining soldered or press-fit connections with plain tube runs

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90°
• Connection type: single-socket (one socket, one plain end)
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Suitable media: potable water and heating fluids
• Application: plumbing and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the copper tube by cutting square and deburring the end. For the socket side, clean the mating surfaces and apply flux before making a capillary solder joint or follow the manufacturer’s instructions if using a press-fit system. Insert the plain tube end to the correct depth and secure according to the chosen joining method for the opposite side. Ensure the assembly is aligned at 90° and check for leaks after pressure testing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate safety measures when soldering or brazing. Verify compatibility of any press-fit fittings or joining materials with copper, and adhere to local plumbing codes and pressure ratings for potable water and heating systems.
