Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Solder Ring Elbow 90' 10mm is designed for plumbing professionals and serious DIYers needing a reliable and efficient way to create 90-degree bends in water and gas pipe systems. Its key benefit is the integrated solder, which significantly speeds up installation time by eliminating the need for separate flux and solder application. A potential consideration is the requirement for proper soldering techniques to ensure a leak-free joint.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of a solder ring fitting?

The primary advantage is the integrated solder, which simplifies the soldering process, saves time, and reduces the risk of errors like dry joints.

Can this fitting be used for gas pipes?

Yes, Prima Plus Solder Ring fittings are suitable for low-pressure gas installations, provided they meet all relevant local regulations and standards for gas piping.

What standards does this fitting meet?

It is manufactured to EN 1254 standard, is WRAS approved for drinking water, and has BS Kite Mark approval.

What size pipe does this elbow fit?

This specific elbow is designed for 10mm nominal bore copper pipe.

Do I need flux with these fittings?

No, flux is not required as the solder is pre-integrated into the fitting.

How do I ensure a good joint?

Ensure both the pipe and fitting are clean, heated evenly, and allow the integrated solder to be drawn in by capillary action. Let the joint cool undisturbed.

What type of torch should I use?

A propane or MAPP gas torch is typically suitable for soldering copper fittings of this size. Ensure the flame is appropriate for the task and you can control the heat effectively.

Troubleshooting

Fitting will not draw solder

Ensure pipe and fitting are clean and free of oxidation. Check that adequate heat is applied evenly to the fitting and pipe. Verify that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Make sure the correct type of torch and flame are being used.

Leak after soldering

The joint may not have been heated sufficiently, or the solder may not have flowed completely. Reheat the joint and attempt to repair or replace the fitting if necessary. Ensure the pipe was cut square and fully inserted.

Integrated solder melts too early

This can happen if excessive heat is applied too quickly. Ensure heat is applied evenly and gradually. Practice on scrap pipe and fittings to develop a feel for the correct heating time.

Fitting appears damaged

Do not use a damaged fitting. Inspect for cracks or deformation. Replace with a new fitting if any damage is present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Speeds up installation significantly due to integrated solder.
  • High-quality copper construction ensures longevity.
  • WRAS and Kite Mark approvals offer peace of mind regarding safety and standards.
  • Reduces the risk of dry joints or missed solder application.
  • Suitable for a wide range of domestic plumbing applications.

Cons

  • Requires a high level of soldering skill for consistent results.
  • Integrated solder may not be ideal for all joint types or conditions.
  • Potential for overheating and damaging the integrated solder if not handled correctly.
  • Can be more expensive than standard un-soldered fittings.
  • Limited to specific pipe sizes (10mm in this case).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of the 10mm copper pipe are clean, free from oxidation, and cut square.
  2. Slide the Prima Plus Solder Ring Elbow 90' 10mm onto the pipe end until it fully seats.
  3. If using multiple fittings, fit all before starting to solder.
  4. Apply heat evenly to the fitting and pipe using a suitable torch. Aim to heat the body of the fitting more than the pipe.
  5. As the fitting reaches the correct temperature, the integrated solder will melt and be drawn into the gap between the pipe and fitting by capillary action.
  6. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed for several minutes before moving.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with 10mm nominal bore copper pipe conforming to relevant British Standards.
  • Suitable for hot and cold water systems and low-pressure gas installations (check local regulations for gas).
  • Ensure your chosen solder method (e.g., propane torch) is appropriate for the fitting and environment.

Care:

  • Store fittings in a clean, dry environment to prevent oxidation.
  • Clean pipe ends thoroughly before installation.
  • Avoid dropping or damaging fittings prior to installation.
  • After installation, regularly check for any signs of leaks, especially in the initial period.
