An obtuse street elbow is a type of pipe fitting that allows for a change in direction. "Street" indicates that one end of the fitting inserts directly into another fitting, while the other end has a male thread or connects to the pipe. "Obtuse" refers to the angle of the bend, which is greater than 90 degrees. In this case, it's a 45-degree bend.
End Feed refers to the method of joining the fitting to the pipe. It involves heating the fitting and pipe and using solder wire, which is drawn into the joint by capillary action to create a seal.
Yes, these fittings are suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water systems, which operate under mains pressure. They are WRAS approved.
Yes, these fittings are suitable for use in domestic central heating systems.
The Kitemark is a British certification mark indicating that a product conforms to relevant British Standards. WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product complies with water supply regulations in the UK, ensuring it won't contaminate water.
The pipe end should be cleaned using emery cloth or a pipe cleaning brush until it is bright and free of oxidation. The inside of the fitting should also be clean; apply flux to both surfaces immediately before assembly.
The joint was likely not heated sufficiently, or flux was not applied correctly. The joint may need to be cut out and resoldered.
Ensure the fitting and pipe are heated evenly to the correct temperature. Check that flux was applied properly and that the pipe is clean. Overheating can also prevent solder uptake.
Verify that you are using the correct size fitting (22mm) for the copper pipe. Ensure the pipe end is not deformed or damaged.
