Pipe elbow bypass 2-flange 15 mm VIEGA model 352134

The VIEGA pipe elbow bypass 2-flange 15 mm (model 352134) is a compact plumbing fitting designed to create a bypass or reroute flow in 15 mm piping systems. Made by VIEGA for use in potable water, heating and general plumbing installations, the component uses flanged connections to join compatible 15 mm pipelines and incorporates press-compatible materials and EPDM sealing elements for reliable joints.

Advantages

The fitting combines a compact elbow shape with two flange connections to enable straightforward bypass installations in confined spaces. Constructed from copper with EPDM sealing elements and press-compatible design, it supports secure, leak-resistant connections when installed with appropriate press tools and fittings. The presence of the withSC-Contur feature aids detection of unpressed connections during pressure tests.

Suitable for

• Creating bypass lines in potable water distribution systems
• Rerouting flow in heating circuits and radiators
• Compact diversion connections in residential or commercial plumbing

When it may not be suitable

This elbow bypass is intended for 15 mm copper press systems; it may not be suitable where larger or smaller pipe diameters are required. It is designed for general potable water and heating applications and is not specified here for use with aggressive chemicals, high-temperature industrial fluids, or gases without confirmation from the system designer or standards applicable to such media.

Key specifications

• Connection type: two flanges for 15 mm pipelines
• Material: copper body
• Sealing: EPDM sealing elements
• Compatibility: press-compatible installation (press connections)
• Design features: compact elbow shape, withSC-Contur detection feature

How to use

Select a compatible 15 mm piping system and ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. Position the elbow bypass between the two pipeline flanges and fit the EPDM seals as required by the installation instructions. Use the appropriate press tools and dies for the press connections to secure the joints, and perform pressure testing to confirm that connections are fully pressed and leak-free; the withSC-Contur feature assists in identifying unpressed joints during testing. Follow VIEGA installation guidelines and local plumbing codes throughout the procedure.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify pipe diameter: intended for 15 mm pipelines only
• Confirm material suitability: copper body and EPDM seals for potable water and heating
• Ensure compatibility with your press tool and flange system
• Check application requirements: temperature, pressure, and media compatibility

Usage recommendations

Install with certified press tools and trained personnel, inspect EPDM seals before assembly, and perform pressure testing after installation to confirm leak-free operation and correct pressing indicated by the withSC-Contur feature.
