Adept Radiator Elbow - Copper

This elbow is specifically designed for Multilayer Composite Pipe (MLCP) systems.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval indicates that the product meets the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and does not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.

Yes, the unplated copper tail can be soldered, but this should be performed by a qualified professional following standard copper pipework procedures.

Press-fit connections are known for their speed, ease of installation, and ability to create a secure, leak-free joint without the need for hot works like soldering.

While approved for heating systems compliant with EN ISO 21003, its primary design is for radiator connections. For underfloor heating, specific MLCP systems and fittings are typically recommended.

The unplated copper tail provides flexibility for on-site cutting and finishing, making it suitable for exposed pipework where aesthetics can be managed through on-site treatment or by complementing the surrounding materials.

This elbow requires a press tool with a U-profile jaw for its MLCP connection.

Ensure the MLCP pipe was fully inserted before pressing. Check for debris on the pipe or fitting. Re-press the connection with the correct tool, or replace the fitting if damage is suspected.

Verify that the correct U-profile jaw is fitted to your press tool and that it is compatible with the elbow's dimensions. Ensure the tool is in good working order.

Ensure the copper surface is clean, free from oxidation, and properly fluxed before applying heat. Use appropriate solder and techniques for copper pipework.

Confirm that the MLCP pipe diameter and type are correct for this fitting (15mm). Check for any damage or deformation on the end of the MLCP pipe.
