Copper elbow fitting VIEGA 2426, 45° bend, 22 mm diameter, pack of 10

VIEGA 2426 is a copper elbow fitting with a 45° bend and a 22 mm diameter, supplied in a pack of 10 pieces. Designed for plumbing and heating installations, this copper bend offers corrosion-resistant copper construction and secure press connections with EPDM sealing elements. The compact 45° geometry allows controlled directional changes in piping systems where space is limited and a gradual angle is preferred over a sharper turn.

Advantages

The copper construction delivers long-term resistance to corrosion and thermal stress typical in water and heating systems. Press connections provide reliable, solder-free joints that shorten installation time and reduce the need for open flames. Integrated EPDM seals ensure watertight connections and compatibility with common potable water and heating media. The pack format of ten fittings supports small to medium installation projects and spare-part stocking.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water installations
• Central heating pipe runs and radiator connections
• Tight routing and direction changes where a 45° bend is required
• Installations requiring press-fit assembly and EPDM sealing

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 45° bend
• Connection type: press-fit with sealing elements
• Sealing material: EPDM
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Package contents: 10 fittings

How to use

Prepare the copper pipes by cutting squarely and deburring the ends. Mark insertion depth on the pipe, slide the fitting onto the pipe and position the press tool over the press connection zone according to the press tool and jaw manufacturer instructions. Perform the press operation to form the joint and compress the EPDM seal. Inspect each joint visually and by pressure testing the system according to applicable installation standards and local codes.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible press tools and jaws certified for use with VIEGA press fittings and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for press sequence and testing. Avoid exposing newly installed joints to freezing conditions before the system is fully commissioned and filled. Regularly inspect installed piping for signs of stress or movement and perform pressure tests after installation to confirm leak-free connections.
