End Feed Street Elbow 90 C X C - 22Mm Long Tail

End Feed Street Elbow 90 C X C - 22Mm Long Tail

The Copper End Feed Street Elbow 90° (22mm Long Tail) is a specialized, flame-applied fitting designed for creating a permanent and highly compact 90-degree turn in 22mm copper pipework. The "Street" designation means it features a male insert end on one side (like a pipe end) and a female socket end on the other. The "Long Tail" version offers an extended spigot length for greater ease and confidence when soldering the male connection into another fitting's socket.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to high industry standards (e.g., BS EN 1254) and is WRAS Approved, ensuring suitability for high-flow domestic and commercial hot/cold water and heating systems.

Material: Constructed from durable Copper, providing a robust, permanent, and high-integrity 90-degree joint.

Configuration: Long Tail Street Elbow – Creates a 90-degree directional change and connects 22mm pipes with two different ends:

Socket End (C): The traditional end feed socket for receiving a standard 22mm pipe.

Long Spigot/Male End (C): A long, plain end that inserts directly into the socket of another 22mm fitting (e.g., a coupler, tee, or valve).

Size: Connects to 22mm copper pipe, a size commonly used for high-flow pipework in heating and primary water distribution.

Function: Used for extremely close-coupled assemblies, allowing one fitting to connect directly into another, minimizing the total length of the joint and saving the use of a short piece of pipe. The long tail provides a larger surface area for easier soldering into the adjoining fitting.

Installation Method: End Feed – Requires cleaning, fluxing, heat application (blowtorch), and solder to create a permanent, capillary seal on both the socket and spigot ends.

The Installer's Advantage
The long-tail street elbow is invaluable for installers needing to create tight, professional connections in confined spaces, such as around boiler pipework or manifolds, reducing clutter and the overall number of soldered points.

Essential Companion Products (Copper System)
To successfully create a permanent, leak-proof soldered joint, the following linked materials are required:

Pipe: Requires 22mm pipe for the socket connection: Copper Tube 22mm x 0.9mm x 3m

Flux: Essential for preparing the surfaces for soldering: LA-CO Soldering Flux 60g

Solder: Required to complete the high-integrity seal: Lead-Free Solder 250g

Cleaning: Required for preparing pipe ends before fluxing: Steel Wool Pack (6oz)
