Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Chrome Wallplate Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-quality connection for 15mm chrome plumbing pipes at a 90-degree angle. This premium fitting is perfect for mounting external taps or wall-mounted outlets securely, offering WRAS approval for potable water safety. A notable caveat is the industry-standard BSP sizing; users must remember that the 1/2-inch thread actually measures 3/4-inch in diameter, which can lead to ordering mistakes if not properly accounted for.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for drinking water?

Yes, it is fully WRAS approved, making it safe for use with potable water systems.

What size pipe does this elbow fit?

It is specifically designed for 15mm plumbing pipes.

Why is the 1/2-inch thread actually 3/4-inch in diameter?

This follows the British Standard Pipe (BSP) thread sizing convention, where the nominal size refers to the internal bore rather than the outer diameter.

Can I use this for outdoor tap installations?

Yes, the wallplate design makes it an ideal solution for securing outdoor tap pipes to a wall.

Is this product manufactured in the UK?

Yes, the Prima Plus series is manufactured in Britain to high quality standards.

How do I keep the chrome shiny?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the chrome surface.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the pipe connection

Check that the compression nut is tightened sufficiently and that the olive is not deformed. If it continues to leak, inspect the pipe for scratches or burrs.

Threaded connection does not fit the tap

Verify you have not confused the BSP thread size; ensure your thread diameter is 3/4-inch. If it is 1/2-inch diameter, you need the 1/4-inch BSP variant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality British manufacturing ensures superior durability
  • WRAS approval makes it safe for drinking water applications
  • Secure wall mounting provided by the integrated backplate
  • Compliance with rigorous BS and EN 1254 standards

Cons

  • Requires understanding of BSP thread sizing to avoid misidentification
  • Chrome finish can be scratched if improper tools are used
  • Not suitable for non-standard pipe sizes without adapters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure your 15mm pipe is cut square and free from burrs to allow the compression olive to seat correctly. The wallplate should be marked and drilled using wall plugs suitable for your substrate (e.g., masonry or timber). When connecting, ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the elbow before tightening the nut.

Regarding compatibility, remember that this is a 1/2-inch BSP thread, which has an actual physical diameter of 3/4-inch. Always verify your thread diameter before purchasing to ensure it matches the 1/2-inch BSP specification. To maintain the chrome finish, clean only with a soft damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these will permanently dull the finish.
