Conex copper single-socket elbow 45° B Press 18 mm

Conex copper single-socket elbow 45° B Press 18 mm is a compact press-fit plumbing fitting designed to change the direction of 18 mm copper pipe runs by 45 degrees. Manufactured from copper, this single-socket elbow is intended for potable water and heating circuits and is compatible with B Press press-fit systems. The fitting provides a mechanical, solder-free connection when installed with appropriate B Press tooling and sealing elements, enabling efficient routing of copper piping in residential and light commercial installations.

Advantages

The elbow enables a secure press-fit joint without the need for soldering or adhesives, reducing installation time and heat exposure to surrounding materials. Its 45° angle offers a compact directional change where space or layout constraints make larger bends impractical. Constructed from copper, the fitting delivers corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity appropriate for water and heating applications. Compatibility with the B Press system ensures consistent joint performance when installed according to manufacturer guidance.

Suitable for

• Residential potable water distribution
• Heating circuits and radiator connections
• Tight or compact pipe routing where a 45° change is required
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing using B Press-compatible tooling

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: single-socket press-fit (B Press compatible)
• Pipe diameter nominal: 18 mm
• Angle: 45°
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the cut end. Slide the appropriate B Press sealing element or O-ring into place if required by the system, then insert the pipe fully into the elbow socket until it reaches the internal stop. Position the press-tooling over the fitting shoulder and perform the press operation in accordance with the press tool manufacturer's instructions and accepted safety practices. After pressing, inspect the joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test of the system to confirm leak-free installation.

Usage recommendations

Use only B Press-compatible pressing tools and approved seals for this fitting. Verify material suitability for the intended medium and operating temperatures. Follow local plumbing codes and the installation guidelines provided by the press-system manufacturer. Where necessary, perform pressure testing after installation to ensure joint integrity.
