Prima Plus Chrome Compression Elbow - 12mm

Yes, the Prima Plus compression fittings are approved for use with both water and gas installations, provided they meet the relevant pressure and temperature requirements for the specific gas type.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the fitting has been tested and certified to meet the stringent standards for materials and construction required for use in public water supply systems in the UK, ensuring it won't contaminate drinking water.

Compression fittings like this one require mechanical tightening using nuts and olives to create a seal. Push-fit fittings use internal seals and a collet mechanism that grip the pipe when it's pushed in, requiring no special tools for connection.

After hand-tightening, typically 1 to 1.5 additional turns with a wrench is recommended. Always refer to the specific installation guide or manufacturer's recommendations for precise torque values, as this can vary slightly.

Yes, the chrome finish provides a protective layer that enhances durability and resistance to corrosion, while also offering an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

This fitting is manufactured to EN 1254 standard and is Kite Marked to BS standards, ensuring it meets high quality and safety requirements.

Ensure the pipe is cut square and free of burrs. Check that the olive is correctly positioned and that the nut has been tightened sufficiently (but not over-tightened). If the leak persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, and the fitting may need to be replaced.

Ensure the threads on the nut and fitting are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using the correct size wrench and that the pipe is properly inserted into the fitting.

Confirm that the compression nut has been tightened to the recommended torque specification. Ensure the fitting is seated correctly on the pipe.
