42mm copper elbows?
Anyone know where best to get them cheap? Im looking at Plumb Centre etc at the moment, but they dont seem that cheap tbh.
I want to use them as my coolant system elbows, which i will join with the straight silicone couplers that i'll cut from my 1m length.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Plain elbows will do, as i can put a bead in them for the hose connectors myself. Plain elbows might be cheaper than yorkshire fittings?
Kindest Regards,

Thanks guys for the help.

Once you know how end-feed is much better than solder-ring (Yorkshire). So far on my house renovation the only joints I've had leak are where
solder-ring fittings were used (on the basis I'd run out of "proper" ones).... Now I routinely give the Yorkshire ones a lick of
solder at the ends once they're hot (which kind of defeats the point of using the solder-ring in the first place!). But hey. Since doing that no
leaks on Yorkshires either...

They make elbows with a larger radius, which might be a good idea for coolant flow.
long turn elbows
Scroll the product selection to the right at that site. I figure they should be available on your side of the pond too.
