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

Copper 90° single-socket elbow Conex series 5000 28 mm is a compact plumbing fitting designed to create a right-angle change of direction in copper pipe runs. Manufactured from copper for compatibility with copper tubing, this elbow supports soldered or capillary (capillary) connections and is intended for use in potable water, central heating and general pipework systems where a durable copper joint is required.

Advantages

The Conex series 5000 copper elbow provides a corrosion-resistant metal-to-metal joint that maintains the thermal and mechanical characteristics of copper piping systems. Its single-socket design simplifies installation for soldering or capillary techniques and ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection when fitted and soldered correctly. The 28 mm diameter matches common copper tube sizes used in domestic and light commercial heating and water supply installations, offering reliable dimensional compatibility and long service life when installed according to standards.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply lines
• Central heating pipework
• Domestic and light commercial plumbing runs
• Repair and renovation of existing copper systems

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 90°
• Connection type: Single-socket for soldered or capillary joint
• Nominal size: 28 mm diameter
• Application: Suitable for potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the copper pipes by cutting square and deburring the ends, then clean both the pipe and the inside of the socket to remove oxides and contaminants. Fit the pipe into the socket fully, ensuring correct alignment for a true 90° turn. Apply appropriate flux if using soldering, or follow capillary soldering procedures recommended for the chosen installation method. Heat evenly until solder flows into the joint, then allow the assembly to cool naturally. After cooling, inspect the joint for complete penetration of solder and check for leaks under working pressure according to applicable regulations.

Usage recommendations

Ensure compatibility with the existing copper tubing and system operating conditions (temperature and pressure). Use proper safety equipment and follow local plumbing codes when soldering or performing capillary joints. For installations involving potable water, flush and disinfect the system as required after completing brazing or soldering operations.
