Perfexim angled copper elbow 706 16 mm (61-006-0160-000)

Perfexim angled copper elbow 706 16 mm is a precision-formed plumbing fitting intended for changing direction of 16 mm copper tubing in water supply and heating installations. The fitting is machined to ensure a close fit with standard 16 mm copper pipes and to provide a conductive metal-to-metal connection appropriate for soldering or other compatible joining methods. Its compact angled profile makes it suitable for tight routing where a reliable bend is required without bending the tube itself.

Advantages

The angled copper elbow offers a durable, corrosion-resistant copper construction that maintains thermal and electrical conductivity. Machined ends provide consistent alignment and secure joints when soldered or connected using compatible fittings. The 16 mm diameter matches common domestic and light-commercial copper piping sizes, enabling straightforward integration into existing systems. Its solid form and smooth internal surface minimize flow disruption and reduce the risk of leak points when correctly installed.

Suitable for

• Redirecting 16 mm copper water supply lines in residential plumbing
• Connecting sections of copper tubing in heating circuits and radiators
• Tight-space installations where tube bending is impractical
• Repairs and retrofits in domestic and light commercial systems

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Type: angled elbow fitting
• Nominal diameter: 16 mm
• Connection method: suitable for soldering or compatible mechanical joining techniques
• Finish: machined ends for precise fit

How to use

Prepare mating copper pipe ends by cutting squarely and deburring to ensure full contact with the elbow. Clean surfaces to be joined, apply appropriate flux if soldering, and heat evenly until solder flows to form a secure joint. If using mechanical joining methods compatible with copper, follow the connector manufacturer’s instructions for assembly and sealing. Ensure the fitting is aligned to achieve the intended flow direction and test the system for leaks after installation according to applicable codes.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local plumbing and heating regulations. Select a joining method suitable for the application: soldered joints for permanent connections, or approved mechanical fittings where future disassembly may be required. Avoid exposing copper fittings to dissimilar metals without proper isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
