Conex reducer connector B Press 28 x 18 mm P524302818000, press-fit plumbing fitting

Conex reducer connector B Press 28 x 18 mm is a press-fit plumbing fitting engineered to join pipes of different diameters in potable water and heating systems. The fitting creates a mechanical, solder-free connection between a 28 mm and an 18 mm pipe, providing a compact transition suitable for concealed and visible installations. It is intended for professional use where a secure, leak-resistant reduction is required and where press technology is preferred for speed and reliability.

Advantages

The reducer connector offers a robust, mechanical joint that eliminates the need for soldering, reducing installation time and heat exposure to surrounding materials. Its press-fit design delivers consistent compression and reliable sealing when used with compatible press tools and jaws. The compact form factor allows installation in tight spaces and makes it compatible with common copper and compatible alloy pipe systems used in drinking water and heating applications.

Suitable for

• Joining a 28 mm pipe to an 18 mm pipe in potable water systems
• Reducing pipe diameter in domestic and commercial heating circuits
• Applications where solder-free, press-fit connections are preferred
• Concealed installations inside walls, panels, or service rooms

Key specifications

• Connection type: press-fit reducer
• Pipe diameters: 28 mm to 18 mm
• Material compatibility: suitable for copper and compatible press-fit pipe materials used in water and heating systems
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Installation: mechanical press connection (requires compatible press tool and jaws)

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring to ensure a clean seating surface. Insert pipes fully into the connector until the stop is reached, then position the press tool with the appropriate jaw around the fitting collar. Actuate the press tool according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions to form the mechanical joint. After pressing, verify the connection visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test to confirm leak-free operation before concealing the joint.

Usage recommendations

Use only press tools and jaws specified for B Press fittings and follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines. Ensure pipes are clean, properly sized, and fully inserted before pressing. After installation, conduct a pressure test appropriate for the system to confirm integrity.
