Copper 45° Elbow VIEGA 2626, 18 mm Diameter, Pack of 5

VIEGA 2626 is a 45° copper elbow designed for use with 18 mm copper piping in plumbing, heating and sanitary systems. Manufactured from copper and supplied in a pack of five, this fitting enables reliable angled connections and changes of direction where space or routing requires a 45° offset. The product is compatible with press-type installation methods and includes elastomeric sealing elements suitable for potable water and heating applications.

Advantages

The copper construction ensures corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity. Press connection compatibility allows for faster assembly compared with soldering or threaded joints, reducing installation time and exposure to open flame. Integrated HNBR sealing elements provide durable sealing performance across typical service temperatures encountered in domestic and light commercial installations. Supplied as a pack of five, the fittings support multiple connection points in a single job, simplifying ordering and inventory.

Suitable for

• Joining and redirecting 18 mm copper tubes in domestic water supply systems
• Connecting sections in central heating circuits and radiator feeds
• Sanitary installations where a 45° change of direction is required
• Press-fit plumbing projects requiring reliable, flame-free joints

Key specifications

• Angle: 45° elbow

How to use

Prepare the copper tube ends by deburring and cleaning to remove oxidisation and contaminants. Mark insertion depth and insert the tube fully into the elbow until it seats against the stop. Use a compatible press tool and jaw for 18 mm fittings to actuate the press connection according to the press tool manufacturer’s instructions. After pressing, verify the integrity of the joint visually and, where applicable, perform a pressure test of the system before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of the press tool and jaw with press fittings marked with SC-Contur or equivalent standards. Follow local plumbing codes and guidelines for potable water and heating installations. Store fittings in a dry environment to avoid surface contamination prior to installation.
