Conex copper 90° double-socket elbow 18 mm, B Press series (P500201800000)

The Conex copper 90° double-socket elbow 18 mm from the B Press series is a right-angle fitting designed for press-fit plumbing and heating installations. It creates a compact connection between two copper pipes of the same 18 mm diameter without the need for soldering. The fitting is intended for potable water and central heating systems and is manufactured to provide consistent, leak-resistant joints when used with compatible press tools and rings.

Advantages

This double-socket elbow offers a reliable solder-free joining method that reduces installation time and the need for open flame. Its press-fit design provides consistent compression around the pipe for leak-resistant performance when installed correctly. The 90° configuration enables neat corner turns in compact plant rooms or behind fixtures, and the copper construction ensures good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance suitable for water and heating applications.

Suitable for

• Press-fit connections in potable water distribution systems
• Central heating pipework requiring right-angle turns
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing installations with 18 mm copper tube
• Situations where solder-free joints are preferred or required

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: double-socket press-fit
• Angle: 90°
• Compatible pipe outside diameter: 18 mm
• Series: B Press

How to use

Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred and cleaned before assembly. Insert the 18 mm copper pipes fully into both sockets of the elbow until they reach the internal stop. Position the correct size press ring and operate a compatible press tool according to the tool and ring manufacturer instructions to form the permanent joint. After pressing, inspect each joint visually and, where recommended, perform a pressure test of the system to confirm integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use with approved B Press compatible rings and press tools only. Confirm material compatibility and follow relevant plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance. Avoid using on systems with fluids or conditions outside the fitting's intended water and heating applications.
