Press elbow 90° double-socket 42 mm Conex P5002 04200000

Conex press elbow 90° double-socket 42 mm is a metal press fitting engineered for creating reliable, permanent joints in plumbing and heating systems. The 90° double-socket configuration enables a neat change of direction between two pipes of the same 42 mm diameter and is intended for use with press-fit copper or compatible tubing in potable water, heating circuits and other closed systems where a secure, leak-resistant connection is required.

Advantages

The press elbow offers a compact footprint and consistent joint geometry that reduces installation time compared with traditional soldered or threaded connections. Its double-socket form ensures alignment of pipes while the press technology provides a durable, low-maintenance connection suitable for concealed or exposed installations. The metal construction delivers mechanical strength and temperature resistance appropriate for domestic and commercial plumbing and heating systems.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution pipelines
• Central heating and radiator circuits
• Closed-loop hot water systems
• Pipe runs requiring a 90° directional change between same-diameter tubes

Key specifications

• Connection type: double-socket press fitting for use with press tools and compatible jaws
• Angle: 90° elbow for directional change
• Nominal diameter: 42 mm
• Material: metallic press-fitting construction providing mechanical strength and thermal stability
• Intended media: potable water and heating fluids in closed systems

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure proper seating. Insert the tubing fully into each socket until it reaches the internal stop. Use an appropriate press tool and compatible jaw size for 42 mm fittings; perform the press operation according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions to form the permanent joint. After pressing, inspect the formed connection visually and, where applicable, test the system for leaks following local regulations and standards.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a dry, dust-free environment prior to installation. Use only press tools and jaw profiles recommended for 42 mm Conex press fittings. Ensure that the installed system is commissioned and pressure-tested according to applicable codes to verify joint integrity.
