FAQs
What is a street bend fitting?
A street bend fitting has one end designed to accept a pipe (female) and the other end designed to insert directly into another fitting (male), often used to reduce the number of connections needed.
Can this fitting be used for gas pipes?
Yes, PrimaPlus fittings are suitable for gas installations, but always ensure compliance with local regulations and professional installation practices for gas lines.
What type of solder should I use?
For water installations, it is recommended to use lead-free solder. For gas, specific gas-rated solders and fluxes are required. Always check product compatibility and local codes.
How do I clean the fitting before soldering?
Use fine-grit sandpaper or emery cloth to clean the outside of the pipe end and the inside of the fitting cup until the copper is bright. Then apply flux.
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been checked and meets the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water.
Is this fitting suitable for push-fit systems?
No, this is an endfeed fitting, which requires soldering for a secure connection. It is not compatible with push-fit or compression systems.
How many fittings are included in this pack?
This listing is for a single fitting (Pack of 1).
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after soldering
The joint was likely not heated sufficiently, the pipe or fitting was not clean, or insufficient solder was used. Reheat the joint, ensuring proper temperature, and apply more solder. If the issue persists, the fitting may be damaged and require replacement.
Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting
Check for any obstructions or deformation inside the fitting or on the pipe end. Ensure both are clean and round. Gently ream the pipe end if necessary.
Solder not flowing into the joint
This indicates insufficient heat. Ensure the entire joint area (pipe and fitting) is heated to the correct temperature before applying solder. The solder should melt instantly on contact.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High-quality copper construction ensures longevity and corrosion resistance.
WRAS and Kite Mark approvals confirm safety and adherence to British Standards.
Ideal for both water and gas installations, offering versatility.
The street bend design simplifies connections by reducing the need for additional fittings in tight spaces.
Reliable endfeed joint creates a secure and robust connection when properly soldered.
Cons
Requires soldering skills for installation.
Sold individually, which may necessitate multiple purchases for larger projects.
Specific to 35mm pipe size, limiting its use in systems with different dimensions.
Not suitable for applications requiring push-fit or compression connections.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the pipe and fitting ends are clean and free from oxidation.
Apply a suitable flux to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting.
Insert the 35mm pipe into the appropriate end of the street bend.
Heat the joint evenly with a blowtorch.
Apply lead-free solder to the joint; it will be drawn into the gap by capillary action.
Allow the joint to cool completely without disturbing it.
Compatibility:
This fitting is designed for use with 35mm copper pipe that meets relevant standards.
It is compatible with other endfeed fittings and pipes of the same dimension.
Suitable for use with both cold and hot water systems, as well as low-pressure gas applications (confirm local regulations).
Care:
Copper fittings require no specific ongoing care beyond standard plumbing maintenance.
Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the copper surface.
