Copper Bend 45° 54 mm VIEGA 1K (model 114916)

Copper Bend 45° 54 mm VIEGA 1K is a single-piece copper elbow designed to provide a smooth 45° directional change in plumbing and heating pipe runs. Manufactured by VIEGA, this 54 mm nominal diameter bend is suitable for systems that require reliable joints compatible with common joining methods for copper fittings. The component is intended for use in potable water installations, heating circuits and service connections where a compact 45° turn reduces stress and allows easier routing compared with multiple smaller fittings.

Advantages

The one-piece copper construction ensures uniform material quality and reduced leak points compared with multi-part assemblies. Its smooth internal radius promotes uninterrupted fluid flow and minimizes pressure loss at the turn. Compatibility with standard copper joining techniques provides flexibility during installation, and the 54 mm diameter meets common residential and commercial pipe sizing for water and heating systems.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution lines
• Heating system pipework and radiators
• Service connections and branch lines
• Routing pipes in tight or constrained spaces where a 45° change is required

Key specifications

• Material: copper (single-piece)
• Angle: 45° elbow
• Nominal diameter: 54 mm
• Design: smooth internal radius for reduced flow resistance
• Typical joining methods: soldering or press-fit depending on system compatibility
• Application temperature range: suitable for potable water and typical heating system temperatures

How to use

Select the Copper Bend 45° 54 mm VIEGA 1K that matches the pipe material and system joining method. Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and deburring; clean contact surfaces and apply flux if soldering is used. Position the elbow to achieve the required directional change and perform the joint according to the chosen method and local plumbing codes. After installation, verify alignment and check for leaks by pressurizing the system following manufacturer and regulatory test procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow VIEGA or system-specific installation instructions. Ensure the chosen joining method (soldering or press) is compatible with the elbow and connected pipework; when in doubt consult applicable standards or a professional installer. Avoid exposing the fitting to conditions outside typical potable water and heating system ranges and perform routine inspections for corrosion or joint integrity as part of normal system maintenance.
