Conex PRESS GAS LUK 90 1-K 18/150 — Gas pipe fitting, 90° elbow, 18 mm, press connection

Conex PRESS GAS LUK 90 1-K 18/150 is a gas-rated 90° elbow press fitting with an 18 mm diameter designed for forming mechanical, leak-resistant joints in gas distribution systems. Manufactured by Conex for use in certified gas installations, this press elbow creates a secure connection between sections of copper or compatible gas piping using a single press action. The component is intended for professional plumbing and gas engineering tasks where regulatory-compliant press fittings are required.

Advantages

This press elbow provides a reliable, repeatable joint that reduces the risk of gas leaks compared with traditional methods that rely on threaded or soldered connections. The single-press installation method speeds up assembly while maintaining consistent pressure on the sealing element. Designed for gas use, the fitting meets industry expectations for mechanical integrity and long-term service under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Creating 90° changes of direction in gas supply lines with 18 mm piping
• Professional natural gas and LPG distribution systems
• Retrofit and new-build residential or commercial gas installations

Key specifications

• Type: 90° elbow press fitting for gas
• Nominal diameter: 18 mm
• Connection method: single press connection
• Material: metal body suitable for gas installations (compatible with copper pipe systems)
• Application class: gas-rated fitting for distribution lines

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs and debris. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting until it seats against the internal stop. Position the appropriate press tool and jaw around the fitting at the designated press zone and perform a single complete press cycle according to the press tool manufacturer’s instructions. Verify the pressed joint visually and, where applicable, perform pressure testing of the gas system in accordance with local regulations and installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use only certified press tools and jaws that match the fitting profile and follow applicable gas installation regulations. Ensure all work is performed by qualified personnel and conduct pressure testing and leak detection after installation before placing the system into service.
