Conex single-socket 45° copper elbow B Press 22 mm P504002200000

The Conex single-socket 45° copper elbow B Press 22 mm is a press-fit fitting designed to change the direction of copper pipe runs by 45 degrees in plumbing and heating installations. Manufactured for use with press tools and compatible B Press systems, this elbow provides a compact, permanent joint solution for potable water and heating circuits without the need for soldering. The single-socket design accommodates a 22 mm copper tube on one end while the opposite end is shaped to form the 45° directional connection, enabling streamlined routing in tight or angled runs.

Advantages

This B Press copper elbow offers a fast, reliable alternative to traditional soldered joints, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for open flames. Its press-fit connection provides consistent mechanical strength and leak-tight performance when installed with approved press tools and fittings. The compact 45° configuration enables space-saving routing and smoother flow transitions compared with multiple 90° fittings, and the copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water and heating systems where copper pipework is specified.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water supply installations
• Heating circuits and radiator connections in residential and light commercial buildings
• Tight or angled pipe routing where a 45° directional change reduces fittings and space
• Installations using press-fit tools and B Press compatible fittings

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: press-fit single-socket
• Angle: 45° directional change
• Nominal tube size: 22 mm
• Application: potable water and heating circuits
• Installation: requires compatible press tool and inserts

How to use

Prepare the copper tube by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges. Mark the insertion depth on the tube, insert the tube fully into the single-socket fitting until it seats at the marked depth, then operate an approved press tool with the correct jaw for B Press fittings to form the permanent joint. Confirm the press mark and perform a pressure test in accordance with local codes and project specifications to verify leak-tight performance before commissioning the system.

Usage recommendations

Use only manufacturer-approved press tools, jaws and inserts for B Press fittings and follow local plumbing and heating standards for testing and commissioning. Avoid using the fitting with incompatible pipe materials or in systems outside the rated media and temperature ranges for copper press systems.
