The PEPTE 22mm Compression Equal Elbow is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need to navigate tight corners in plumbing or heating systems. This brass fitting allows for a clean 90-degree turn in 22mm pipework without the need for soldering or heat, making it an ideal choice for quick, reliable repairs or new installations; however, it is important to note that correct torque application is required to ensure a permanent, leak-free seal on the compression olives.

Generally, compression fittings seal through metal-to-metal contact of the olive; however, a thin layer of jointing compound can be used on the threads to assist in sealing.
Yes, but you must ensure that a proper pipe insert is used to support the internal structure of the plastic pipe.
Yes, it is designed for standard domestic and commercial plumbing and heating pressures.
It is recommended to replace the olive if you disassemble the joint, as olives deform during the initial tightening process.
This fitting is manufactured from durable brass.
Yes, because it is WRAS approved, it is safe for use in potable water systems.
Tighten the nut an additional quarter turn, ensuring the pipe is fully inserted into the body.
Ensure the threads were not crossed during installation; if the threads are damaged, the fitting must be replaced.
Ensure the pipe end is properly deburred and that the olive has not been pre-compressed on a different fitting.
To ensure a secure installation, start by ensuring the 22mm pipe is cut cleanly and deburred, as jagged edges can damage the internal seal. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, then insert the pipe fully into the elbow body. Tighten the nut by hand until firm, then use an adjustable wrench to tighten it approximately one full turn. Do not overtighten, as this can crush the olive. For maintenance, check joints periodically for signs of moisture. If a leak occurs, check that the pipe is fully seated and the nut is properly tightened. This fitting is compatible with standard copper and plastic plumbing pipes, though pipe inserts must be used when using plastic piping.
