Copper double-socket elbow 45° 22 mm VIEGA (MPN 100704)

Copper double-socket elbow 45° 22 mm VIEGA is a copper plumbing fitting designed to connect two 22 mm copper tubes at a 45° angle. Intended for use in potable water, heating and sanitary systems, the fitting provides a compact directional change while maintaining a corrosion-resistant metal-to-metal connection. It is suitable for soldered or compatible press-style connections and is produced by a recognized manufacturer of plumbing components.

Advantages

The 45° double-socket elbow is made from copper, offering natural resistance to corrosion and long service life in water and heating installations. Its double-socket design ensures secure insertion of both pipe ends and supports reliable joints with solder or applicable press fittings. The compact angle reduces space requirements compared with larger radius fittings and allows precise directional changes in piping runs. The smooth internal surface promotes steady flow and minimizes turbulence at the bend.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Heating circuits and hot water systems
• Sanitary plumbing and distribution manifolds
• Tight-space installations requiring a 45° directional change

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: double-socket for soldering or compatible press connections
• Pipe diameter compatibility: 22 mm
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Surface: smooth internal bore for reduced flow disturbance

How to use

Prepare the copper pipes by cutting squarely, deburring and cleaning the external surfaces and internal sockets. Assemble the pipes into the double sockets to the required depth, applying solder or engaging the appropriate press tool and fittings according to the chosen joining method. Ensure alignment and support piping to avoid stress on the joint. After joining, inspect the connections and perform pressure or leak tests as required by local installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Follow relevant national and local plumbing codes when installing copper fittings. Use flux and solder formulated for potable water systems if soldering, and verify press-tool compatibility when using press connections. Avoid excessive mechanical stress and provide adequate pipe support and thermal expansion allowances to maintain joint integrity over time.
