The Plumbright Elbow Reducer (SPE6746M) is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need to seamlessly transition pipe diameters while changing direction in a plumbing system. It offers a significant time-saving benefit through its advanced push-fit technology, which eliminates the need for soldering or complex tools. However, users should note that it is specifically designed for 22mm to 15mm transitions, making it unsuitable for applications requiring consistent pipe sizing or different connection types.

Yes, the Plumbright Elbow Reducer is compatible with standard 22mm and 15mm copper and plastic piping.
No, this product is designed for plumbing and heating water systems and should not be used for gas installations.
No, the push-fit mechanism is designed to seal effectively without the use of additional sealants or tapes.
While the fitting can be removed, it is generally recommended to use new O-rings or inspect the fitting carefully for damage before reusing it in a permanent installation.
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been tested and complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, ensuring it will not cause waste, misuse, or contamination of the water supply.
Ensure the pipe end is free of scratches or burrs and is inserted fully past the O-ring until it hits the pipe stop.
Check that the pipe is perfectly circular and not misshapen; lightly chamfer the end of the pipe to facilitate entry.
Use an approved pipe release tool to depress the collet and safely extract the fitting from the pipe.
To ensure a successful installation, first ensure that the pipe ends are cut cleanly and are free of burrs, dirt, or debris. A damaged or uneven pipe end can compromise the internal O-ring seal. Insert the pipe firmly into the fitting until you feel it hit the internal stop; a slight twist during insertion can help ensure the O-ring seats properly. This fitting is compatible with standard copper and plastic plumbing pipes within the 22mm and 15mm sizes. For care and maintenance, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the fitting. Always perform a pressure test of the system before closing up any wall or floor cavities to confirm that no leaks are present at the connection point.
