Product Information
Full details
The Conex Banninger End Feed 90 Degree Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a permanent, high-integrity connection for 10mm copper tubing in hot and cold water plumbing systems. This fitting offers a robust, leak-free seal through the solder method, ensuring long-term reliability; however, it requires the use of a blowtorch and appropriate soldering skills, making it less accessible than push-fit alternatives for beginners.

FAQs
Can this elbow be used for gas lines?
This product is specified for hot and cold water systems; consult local building regulations before using for gas applications.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a pipe cutter, abrasive cleaning pad, plumbing flux, lead-free solder wire, and a blowtorch.
Is this fitting dezincification resistant?
Yes, the use of gunmetal in the construction provides high resistance to dezincification.
Can I reuse this fitting if I make a mistake?
No, end feed fittings are designed for one-time permanent installation and cannot be reused once soldered.
What is the pressure rating?
The pressure rating depends on the soldered joint integrity and the pipe grade used, typically exceeding standard domestic water pressure requirements.
Troubleshooting
Solder fails to flow into the joint
Ensure the pipe and fitting are properly cleaned with abrasive pads and enough flux is applied to remove surface oxides.
Leak detected after cooling
The joint likely had a gap or insufficient heat; re-clean the area, re-apply flux, and re-solder the connection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Permanent, leak-free connection
- Excellent corrosion resistance due to gunmetal construction
- Compact design ideal for tight installations
- Compatible with standard EN 1057 copper tubing
Cons
- Requires professional soldering equipment and skills
- Not suitable for quick-demountable applications
- Risk of heat damage to surrounding materials during installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the copper pipe ends are clean and free of burrs. Apply a suitable flux to the pipe surface and the inside of the fitting socket before inserting the pipe. Heat the joint evenly with a blowtorch until the solder flows into the gap via capillary action. Always allow the joint to cool naturally; do not quench with water. This fitting is strictly for use with 10mm copper pipe compliant with EN 1057. Keep the components stored in a dry environment to prevent oxidation prior to installation.
