90° elbow with SC 18 x 1/2" bronze / glossy, model 2214 281205

90° Elbow with Flow Capacity for Press-Fit Systems

This one-piece 90° elbow is designed for use in copper pipe installations where a smooth change of flow direction without hydrodynamic obstructions is required. The connection on one side is a press fitting (SC-Contur), while the other side features a tapered external thread (NPT 1/2"), enabling direct connection to valves, radiators, or other threaded components. No additional adapters or modifications are needed—simply press the pipe and tighten the thread.

The EDPM gasket is pre-installed and requires no additional assembly. It is resistant to temperatures ranging from -25°C to 85°C, making the elbow suitable for both district heating systems and potable water installations. A working pressure of up to 16 bar at 20°C ensures stability even under aggressive conditions, such as high pressures in heating systems or circulation pumps.

Why Does This Solution Work?

• SC-Contur enables fast and reliable installation—pressing is completed in a single motion, and any improperly made connection is visible during the pressure test (within the 1–6.5 bar range), eliminating the risk of leaks after installation.
• The bronze material of both ends ensures corrosion resistance and long-term stability in contact with water, steam, or cooling liquids.
• Raw surface finish means no paint or coating is applied—this is a deliberate choice for installers who wish to avoid the risk of damaging coatings during pressing or thread tightening.
• A wrench size of 20.6 mm allows for convenient use of a standard open-end wrench—no specialized equipment is required.

Where Is It Useful?

It operates seamlessly in:

• Potable water installations (compliant with standards for materials in contact with water),
• Heating systems—both underfloor and radiator-based,
• Domestic hot water circuits,
• Compressed air or inert gas pipelines,
• Industrial and construction installations where reliability and fast installation are required.

There is no room for compromise here—this is a component designed for permanent operation, without the need for maintenance or gasket replacement. Installation is simple, yet it cannot be done incorrectly: if the press fit is not performed properly, it is immediately visible. This is precisely what makes this elbow perform better than many others.
