Product Information

Full details

The Prima Classic Compression Wallplate Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a robust, secure transition between 22mm pipework and 3/4 inch female threaded fixtures. It provides a highly reliable, leak-free connection for both water and gas systems, offering peace of mind through its WRAS approval for potable water usage. While this fitting offers exceptional durability due to its trade-grade brass construction, it requires precision during installation to ensure the compression olive seats correctly to prevent potential seepage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for drinking water?

Yes, it is fully WRAS approved, making it safe for use in potable water supply lines.

Can I use this for gas lines?

Yes, the trade-grade brass construction is suitable for both water and gas plumbing applications.

What size pipe does this fit?

The compression side is designed specifically for 22mm diameter pipework.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need two adjustable spanners and a pipe cutter or hacksaw to prepare the 22mm pipe.

Do I need to use thread sealant on the compression side?

Compression fittings rely on the olive to create the seal. While not strictly necessary, some professionals use a tiny amount of jointing paste to aid the seat.

What is the EN 1254 standard?

It is the European standard that specifies the dimensions and requirements for copper and copper alloy plumbing fittings.

Troubleshooting

Minor weep at the compression nut

Tighten the compression nut by an additional quarter-turn. If it persists, inspect the olive for damage.

Threaded connection is leaking

Unscrew the 3/4 inch connection, clean the threads, re-apply high-quality PTFE tape or jointing compound, and reconnect.

Nut will not tighten properly

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting body and the olive is not skewed against the pipe surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality trade brass material offers excellent durability
  • WRAS approval ensures suitability for drinking water
  • Secure wall-mounting capability prevents pipe strain
  • Reliable compression seal suitable for gas and water applications

Cons

  • Requires proper spanner technique to avoid overtightening
  • Compression fittings are generally permanent once the olive has bitten
  • Not intended for use with non-standard pipe diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 22mm pipe is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the internal olive. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the fitting, and hand-tighten the nut. Use two adjustable spanners—one to hold the body of the elbow and one to tighten the nut—by a further three-quarters of a turn. When connecting to the 3/4 inch female threaded side, use PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant to ensure a leak-free seal. Regularly inspect the fitting for signs of corrosion or moisture, especially in hidden installations, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the brass finish.
