The PRIMA CLASSIC Endfeed Obtuse Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, permanent connection in 28mm copper piping systems. Its primary benefit is a secure, capillary-action seal that stands up to the demands of both water and gas installations, though users should note that these fittings require soldering skills and equipment to install correctly.

Yes, they are fully WRAS approved, making them compliant with regulations for potable drinking water systems.
Yes, PRIMA CLASSIC endfeed fittings are rated for gas system installations provided they are installed by a qualified professional.
These are designed specifically for standard 28mm diameter copper pipes.
Yes, flux is essential to clean the metal surfaces and promote proper solder flow during the capillary process.
No, this is an endfeed fitting, meaning it requires heat and solder to create a permanent, leak-proof bond.
Ensure the fitting and pipe are cleaned with an abrasive pad and that enough heat is being applied evenly around the circumference.
Allow the joint to cool, clean the area, and attempt to re-solder or replace the fitting if the copper has been overheated and annealed.
To install, ensure the copper pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of oxidation. Apply an appropriate flux to the pipe and the inside of the fitting. Once the pipe is inserted, apply uniform heat using a blowtorch until the solder flows into the joint via capillary action. Always verify the joint has cooled completely before pressurizing the system. These fittings are exclusively compatible with 28mm copper piping. Regular maintenance involves inspecting joints for signs of green patina or moisture, which may indicate a failed seal or pinhole leak.
