Copper 45° Bend VIEGA 2426.1, 22 mm diameter, pack of 10

VIEGA 2426.1 is a 45° copper pipe bend with a 22 mm nominal diameter, supplied in packs of 10 pieces. Designed for plumbing, heating and HVAC copper installations, this fitting allows compact directional changes in copper lines while maintaining a corrosion-resistant metal path for water and heat transfer. The component is compatible with standard soldered and press-fit systems where a copper elbow is required and is intended for use in potable water and heating circuits when installed according to applicable standards.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures good thermal conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance under normal potable water and heating conditions. The product combines a compact 45° geometry for space-saving routing with manufacturing tolerances that support reliable joint alignment. Designed for compatibility with common joining methods, the fitting provides consistent flow characteristics and minimal hydraulic loss when replacing straight sections with a directional bend.

Suitable for

• Change of direction in copper water supply lines
• Routing in heating and radiator connections
• HVAC copper piping where a compact elbow is needed
• Projects requiring multiple identical fittings supplied in a pack

Key specifications

• Material: copper
• Angle: 45°
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Connection type: suitable for soldered joints and press-fit systems with compatible press inserts
• Sealing: EPDM sealing element for press connections where applicable
• Pack quantity: 10 pieces

How to use

Prepare pipe ends by cutting square, deburring and cleaning to the required length. For soldered installations, apply appropriate flux and carry out capillary soldering following regulator-approved procedures. For press-fit installations, ensure the EPDM sealing element and press sleeve are correctly positioned and use the manufacturer-recommended press tool and jaw for the 22 mm size. After assembly, check joints visually and perform pressure testing according to local standards to verify leak-tightness.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings dry and protected from mechanical damage before installation. Use compatible tools and materials specified for copper and press systems, and follow local plumbing codes. When combining soldered and press connections, ensure each joint type is executed with its appropriate method and tested after installation.
