Copper 90° Elbow Fitting VIEGA 28 mm — soldered connection (model 102067)

VIEGA Copper 90° Elbow Fitting, 28 mm, with a soldered connection is designed to join two copper pipes at a right angle in plumbing and heating installations. Manufactured to provide a reliable, corrosion-resistant joint, this elbow is suitable for potable water and heating systems where a durable soldered connection is preferred. The compact design allows space-efficient routing and direction changes in residential and commercial pipeline layouts.

Advantages

This copper 90° elbow offers long-term corrosion resistance and mechanical stability when properly soldered into a copper piping system. The soldered connection provides a leak-proof joint with good resistance to temperature variations typical in domestic hot water and heating circuits. Its standardized 28 mm diameter ensures compatibility with common copper pipe sizes used in plumbing and HVAC installations, enabling straightforward integration into existing systems.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply systems
• Domestic and commercial heating circuits
• Directional changes in copper piping layouts
• Tight or compact installation spaces requiring a right-angle turn

Key specifications

• Material: Copper
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Connection type: Soldered (capillary / lutowane) joint
• Nominal diameter: 28 mm
• Application: Suitable for potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the copper pipes by cutting squarely and deburring the ends, then clean the mating surfaces with an appropriate abrasive or cleaning agent to remove oxides and contaminants. Apply suitable flux to the pipe ends and fitting socket, assemble the joint fully, and heat evenly with an appropriate soldering torch until the solder flows into the joint by capillary action. Allow the joint to cool naturally and then inspect for a continuous solder fillet and any signs of leakage before placing the system into service. Follow local codes and manufacturer recommendations for solder type and heating procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use lead-free solder and flux approved for potable water where required by regulations. Ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment during soldering. Pressure-test the completed installation according to applicable standards and correct any detected leaks before insulating or concealing the piping.
