FixTheBog Backplate Elbow - 15mm x 1/2 Inch BSP

The Tectite Sprint design achieves its slim profile by using only three core components in the fitting, optimizing its form factor.

No, the push-fit mechanism requires no special tools; installation is done by simply pushing the pipe into the fitting.

The brass backplate provides a secure mounting point to fix the elbow to a wall or other surface, offering stability and reducing strain on the pipework.

This fitting is designed for modern plumbing materials like copper, PEX, and PB pipes. It is not recommended for use with lead pipes.

The BSP connection is a parallel female thread measuring 1/2 Inch.

You should feel a distinct stop or a light click when the pipe is fully inserted to the correct depth. It is recommended to mark the pipe beforehand.

Yes, the Tectite range is designed for general hot and cold water applications, providing reliable performance.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the correct depth and the pipe end is clean and free of damage. Check for debris inside the fitting. For threaded connections, ensure the seal (e.g., PTFE tape) is applied correctly.

Verify the pipe is round and free from deformation. Ensure the pipe end is properly cut and chamfered. Remove any obstructions from the fitting's internal O-ring.

The pipe may not have been pushed in far enough. Carefully attempt to push the pipe further. If it's a threaded connection, ensure it is adequately tightened without over-stressing the thread.
