Conex 45° single-socket copper elbow B Press 28 mm

Conex 45° single-socket copper elbow B Press 28 mm is a press-fit fitting designed to create a 45-degree directional change in copper pipe installations. Manufactured for compatibility with B Press tooling and 28 mm copper tubing, this elbow provides a compact connection for potable water, heating circuits and general copper pipework where a reliable press joint is required. The single-socket design accepts one plain-ended pipe while the opposite end is intended for connection to an existing socketed or plain pipe run.

Advantages

The B Press 45° copper elbow offers a secure, durable joint that reduces installation time compared with traditional soldering. Its copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity suitable for potable water and heating systems. The press-fit assembly minimizes the need for open flame, flux or flux removal, improving on-site safety and simplifying compliance with modern plumbing practices.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Domestic and commercial heating circuits
• Copper pipework alterations and renovations requiring directional changes
• Applications where press-fit, flame-free installation is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 45°
• Connection type: single-socket press-fit (B Press compatible)
• Pipe size: 28 mm
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the copper pipe by cutting square and deburring the end to ensure a clean fit. Verify that the pipe is the correct 28 mm diameter and that the B Press fitting and press tool are compatible. Slide the pipe into the single-socket until it seats fully, then perform the press operation according to the press tool manufacturer's instructions to create a secure joint. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and, where applicable, pressure-test the system following local regulations and installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use with approved B Press tooling and jaws sized for 28 mm to ensure a certified press connection. Store fittings in a dry environment to prevent surface contamination. For potable water installations, follow local codes regarding cleanliness and flushing procedures prior to commissioning. Avoid mechanical stress on the joint during commissioning and allow appropriate supports and expansion measures in heating circuits.
