End Feed Street Elbow 90 C X C - 28Mm

End Feed Street Elbow 90 C X C - 28Mm

The Copper End Feed Street Elbow 90° (28mm C x C) is a specialized, large-bore fitting used in traditional copper plumbing and heating systems. Unlike standard elbows, a "Street" elbow features a male fitting end on one side and a female socket end on the other, allowing it to connect directly into another female fitting without needing a short piece of pipe. This unique design is invaluable for reducing the size and complexity of pipe assemblies.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to high industry standards (e.g., BS EN 1254) and typically WRAS Approved, ensuring suitability for both potable (drinking) water and central heating systems.

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

Configuration: Street Elbow – Creates a 90-degree directional change and connects two lengths of 28mm copper pipe.

Socket End (C): The traditional end feed socket for receiving a 28mm pipe.

Spigot/Male End (C): A plain end (like a pipe end) that inserts directly into the socket of another 28mm fitting (e.g., a tee or coupler).

Size: Connects to 28mm copper pipe, a size commonly used for primary flow and return pipework on boilers.

Function: Used to create tight, compact joints, such as when connecting directly into the side of a pump, valve, or another fitting, saving one joint (and one potential leak path) compared to using a standard elbow and a piece of pipe.

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 28mm street elbow is crucial for achieving clean, close-coupled pipework in restricted spaces, often simplifying connections around boiler headers or manifold systems where pipe length must be minimized.

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

Pipe: Requires 28mm pipe for the socket connection: Copper Tube 28mm 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)
