Copper 2-socket elbow 45° VIEGA 35 mm (model 104016)

Copper 2-socket elbow 45° VIEGA 35 mm is a plumbing fitting designed to join two copper pipes with a 35 mm outer diameter at a 45° angle. Manufactured by VIEGA to industry standards, the fitting provides a compact directional change while maintaining the internal flow profile typical for copper piping. It is intended for use with capillary or soldered connections in potable water, heating and cooling systems and is suitable for professional installation in residential and commercial piping networks.

Advantages

The two-socket 45° elbow enables a smooth change of direction with minimal pressure loss and a compact footprint in pipe runs. Made of copper, the fitting offers corrosion resistance and compatibility with standard copper pipe installations. The socket design ensures reliable capillary or soldered joints, providing leak-resistant connections when installed by a qualified fitter.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Hot water and central heating circuits
• Chilled water and cooling loop installations
• Replacement or modification of existing copper pipework requiring a 45° directional change

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Connection type: two-socket (socket/socket) for capillary or soldered jointing
• Angle: 45°
• Pipe size compatibility: 35 mm outer diameter copper pipe
• Application: potable water, heating and cooling systems

How to use

Prepare copper pipe ends by cutting square and removing burrs. Clean the outer pipe and inner socket surfaces, flux the joint areas according to the chosen soldering method, insert the pipe fully into each socket until it seats, and perform capillary soldering or brazing following applicable installation standards and safety procedures. Ensure the system is pressure tested and flushed after installation to verify leak-tightness and remove any flux residues.

Usage recommendations

Use this VIEGA copper elbow with compatible 35 mm copper pipes and approved flux and solder materials. Installation should be performed by a qualified installer following local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the joint and perform pressure testing after installation to confirm integrity.
