Conex copper 45° double-socket elbow 18 mm from B Press series

The Conex copper 45° double-socket elbow 18 mm from the B Press series is a compact plumbing fitting for press-fit systems. Manufactured for use with copper piping, this elbow provides a precise 45° change of direction and is intended for potable water and heating installations where a solder-free, press-joined connection is required. The fitting is compatible with press tools and appropriate press rings designed for the B Press series and 18 mm copper pipe sizes.

Advantages

This 45° double-socket elbow offers a durable copper construction that is corrosion-resistant and suitable for drinking water systems. Designed for press-fit assembly, it eliminates the need for soldering, speeding up installation and reducing fire risk on site. The double-socket design ensures a steady alignment of pipes and consistent joint integrity when used with compatible press fittings and tools.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential buildings
• Heating circuits and radiator connections in light commercial and residential installations
• Compact directional changes in copper piping runs
• Press-fit plumbing systems requiring solder-free joints

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 45° bend
• Connection type: Double socket for press-fit assembly
• Nominal connection diameter: 18 mm
• Intended media: Potable water and heating fluids
• Series compatibility: B Press series press-fit systems

How to use

Ensure pipes are cut square and deburred before insertion. Slide the appropriate press ring or use an integrated press profile as required by the press system, insert the cleaned copper pipe fully into the elbow socket, and operate the compatible press tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions to form a secure press joint. Verify each joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test to confirm system integrity before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools, jaws, and rings that are approved for the B Press series and the 18 mm copper diameter. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on joints during installation and system filling, and follow local codes for potable water and heating systems when planning and testing the installation.
