The Pepte Compression Elbow is an essential plumbing component for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to create a secure 90-degree transition between 22mm copper or plastic pipework and 3/4 inch BSP female threaded fixtures. Offering a reliable, leak-free connection without the need for open-flame soldering, it is ideal for diverse domestic and commercial plumbing projects, though users should note that proper tightening is critical to ensuring the integrity of the compression seal.

While the compression side creates its own seal, you may use a small amount of PTFE tape or liquid pipe sealant on the male BSP thread to ensure a watertight connection to the female fixture.
Yes, provided you use the appropriate pipe insert specific to your brand of plastic pipe to prevent it from collapsing under the compression nut.
No, this fitting is intended for plumbing and heating water systems and should not be used for gas installations.
The fitting is rated for standard domestic and commercial water pressures; please consult your local building regulations for specific pressure requirements in your area.
It is highly recommended to replace the olive whenever a compression joint is taken apart to ensure a secure, leak-free seal upon reassembly.
Tighten the nut by an additional quarter turn. If the leak persists, disassemble and inspect the olive for scratches or damage.
Ensure the pipe end is deburred and circular. If using plastic pipe, ensure the correct size pipe insert is installed.
Installation requires two adjustable spanners or pipe wrenches. First, slide the compression nut and olive onto the 22mm pipe. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting body until it reaches the stop. Tighten the nut by hand until firm, then use your wrenches to turn the nut an additional one-half to three-quarters of a turn.
Compatibility: This fitting is compatible with standard 22mm copper and suitable plastic pipework (ensure the manufacturer-recommended pipe insert is used with plastic).
Care: Do not use excessive force when tightening, as this may deform the olive or crack the fitting body. Periodically check connections for signs of weeping, especially in systems subject to rapid temperature cycling.
