Conex copper double-socket 45° elbow 15 mm from B Press series

Conex copper double-socket 45° elbow 15 mm from the B Press series is a press-fit plumbing fitting designed to create a compact angled change of direction in potable water and heating systems. Manufactured in copper, the elbow accepts 15 mm pipes in both sockets and is installed using compatible press tools and press rings to form a sealed, mechanical joint without soldering. The 45° angle enables routing in tight spaces where a milder deflection than a 90° bend is required.

Advantages

The fitting offers the durability and corrosion resistance of copper combined with the speed and repeatability of press installation. Using press technology reduces installation time and eliminates open flames, making the product suitable for use in occupied buildings and areas with fire safety constraints. Its double-socket form provides a stable, leak-resistant connection when used with the recommended press rings and tooling, ensuring reliable performance in water distribution and heating circuits.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water supply installations
• Central heating and radiator connections
• Routing pipework in plant rooms, service cupboards and confined spaces
• Retrofit and new-build projects where press connections are specified

Key specifications

• Material: copper suitable for plumbing applications
• Connection type: double-socket press-fit
• Angle: 45° elbow for directional change
• Pipe compatibility: 15 mm nominal pipe diameter
• Intended media: potable water and heating system fluids

How to use

Prepare and cut the 15 mm copper pipes squarely, deburr and clean the pipe ends and fitting sockets. Insert the pipe fully into each socket until it reaches the internal stop. Position the appropriate press ring around the socket as specified by the press system manufacturer. Use a compatible press tool and jaw sized for the press ring and 15 mm connection to perform the press operation according to the tool supplier’s instructions. After pressing, inspect the joint visually and, where required, perform a pressure test following applicable standards and installation guidelines.

Usage recommendations

Use only press rings and tooling approved for the B Press system and the specified 15 mm size. Ensure installations comply with local regulations for potable water and heating systems and follow recommended pressure testing procedures before commissioning.
