Copper Elbow 45° VIEGA 2626.1, Diameter 22 mm, Pack of 5

VIEGA 2626.1 Copper Elbow 45° with 22 mm diameter, pack of 5, is a compact copper fitting designed to change the direction of pipe runs by 45 degrees in plumbing, heating and HVAC systems. The fitting combines a copper body with a press-compatible plug-in end and an HNBR sealing element, enabling secure connections when used with compatible press tools and press rings. Supplied as a set of five, this elbow suits installations where space-saving directional changes and reliable metal-to-metal transitions are required.

Advantages

The copper construction offers corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity suitable for potable water and heating circuits. The plug-in end and press connection design simplify installation by enabling fast, reproducible joints without the need for soldering when used with appropriate press fittings and tools. The integrated HNBR sealing element provides an elastomeric seal that supports leak-tight performance under typical system pressures and temperatures. The compact 45° angle reduces bending stress and allows more gradual directional changes compared with sharper elbows.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Heating and radiator connections
• HVAC and chilled water circuits
• Retrofit and new-build plumbing installations requiring compact directional changes

Key specifications

• Material: copper body with HNBR sealing element
• Angle: 45° directional elbow
• Nominal diameter: 22 mm
• Connection type: plug-in end designed for press connection systems
• Package quantity: 5 fittings per pack
• Compatibility: suitable for press systems and joint systems that accept copper press fittings and HNBR seals

How to use

Ensure pipes are cut square and deburred before assembly. Insert the copper pipe fully into the plug-in end of the elbow until it seats against the stop. Use the manufacturer-recommended press rings and a compatible press tool to form the press connection at the fitting end; follow the press tool and ring instructions for correct jaw selection and pressing sequence. Verify the HNBR seal is intact and free of debris prior to pressing. After assembly, perform pressure and leak tests according to applicable standards and local regulations before commissioning the system.

Usage recommendations

Use only press rings and tools approved for copper press fittings and compliant with the fitting manufacturer's guidance. Avoid exposing the HNBR sealing element to aggressive chemicals or temperatures outside the system's rated range. For soldering-compatible installations, ensure that the press-end is protected or alternative connection types are used according to installation standards. Regularly inspect joints after initial commissioning and during routine maintenance.
