IBP copper elbow 90° 1-way 18 mm — IBP MIEDZ LUK 90 1-K 18

IBP copper elbow 90° 1-way 18 mm — IBP MIEDZ LUK 90 1-K 18 is a right-angled copper fitting designed for use with 18 mm copper tubing in water supply and heating systems. The single-branch 90° elbow provides a compact change of direction while maintaining flow characteristics suitable for residential and commercial piping. The fitting is compatible with common joining methods for copper pipework, such as soldering or press connection, depending on the installer’s chosen technique and tools.

Advantages

This copper elbow offers corrosion-resistant material properties inherent to copper, ensuring long-term durability in potable water and heating applications. Its 90° single-branch design delivers a reliable and space-saving directional change. The 18 mm diameter matches standard copper tubing sizes used in many plumbing installations, facilitating straightforward integration into existing systems. The fitting's construction supports standard joining methods, allowing flexibility for installation with soldering or press fittings.

Suitable for

• Changing pipe direction in domestic water supply lines
• Routing heating system circuits and radiator connections
• Compact plumbing runs in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms
• Commercial piping where 18 mm copper tubing is specified

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 90° single-branch elbow
• Nominal tube diameter: 18 mm
• Connection methods: suitable for soldering or press connection (method dependent)
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Ensure the copper tubing is cut squarely and deburred before assembly. Clean the mating surfaces according to the chosen joining method: remove oxides and flux residues for soldering or ensure compatibility and cleanliness for press fittings. Position the 90° elbow to achieve the required routing, then complete the joint following manufacturer procedures for soldering (apply flux and heat appropriately) or for press installation (use the specified press tool and jaws). After installation, inspect joints for secure seating and test the system for leaks under working conditions.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local plumbing codes. Select the joining method that matches system requirements and installer qualifications; verify compatibility of any press fittings or flux materials with copper.
