Conex copper 45° double-socket elbow 22 mm from B Press series

Conex copper 45° double-socket elbow 22 mm from the B Press series is a press-fit plumbing fitting designed to connect two 22 mm pipes with a compact 45-degree turn. Manufactured in copper, the elbow provides reliable mechanical strength and good thermal conductivity for potable water, heating and general plumbing systems where space-saving angled joints are required. The B Press connection method creates a secure, leak-resistant joint without soldering, reducing installation time and the need for open flame on-site.

Advantages

The B Press copper 45° double-socket elbow delivers durable corrosion resistance inherent to copper and consistent dimensional accuracy for predictable fit-up in press systems. Its press-fit sockets produce a strong, permanent joint when installed with compatible press tools and jaws, eliminating the need for flux, solder or adhesives. The compact 45° geometry allows smoother directional changes compared with sharper angle fittings, which can improve flow characteristics and reduce stress on piping runs.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution and domestic cold/hot water systems
• Hydronic heating systems and radiator connections
• General plumbing installations in residential and light commercial buildings
• Retrofit and new-build projects where a compact angled joint is needed

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: double-socket press-fit
• Angle: 45°
• Nominal pipe size: 22 mm
• Suitable media: potable water, heating fluids
• Installation method: press tool with compatible jaws

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring the inner and outer edges to ensure full insertion into the sockets. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe, then insert each pipe end fully into the respective socket. Use a compatible press tool and correct jaw size for 22 mm copper press fittings; align the tool squarely on the fitting and actuate the press cycle according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. After pressing, visually inspect the joint and verify the press profile where applicable. No soldering, flux or sealant is required when joints are formed correctly.

Usage recommendations

Use manufacturer-recommended press jaws and regularly calibrated pressing equipment. Confirm compatibility of the B Press series fitting with the selected press tool and observe local plumbing codes for potable water and heating installations. When working near combustible materials, follow safe working practices even though no open flame is needed for installation.
