The Plumbright 15mm x 1/2 inch BSPT Male Elbow is an essential component for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need to navigate tight corners in plumbing and heating systems without the use of open flames. By utilizing advanced push-fit technology, this fitting significantly reduces installation time while offering robust resistance to thermal expansion and bursting; however, users must ensure the pipe is correctly deburred and cut squarely to maintain a secure, leak-free connection.

No, this fitting is intended for plumbing and heating water systems only.
While it can be removed, it is recommended to use a new fitting for critical connections to ensure the integrity of the grab ring and seal.
The push-fit end requires no sealant. The BSPT threaded end should be used with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape for a watertight seal.
The fitting is rated for standard domestic heating and hot water temperatures. Please consult your local plumbing codes for specific system limits.
This is primarily designed for copper and approved plastic pipes like PEX. Verify compatibility if using non-standard piping materials.
Remove the fitting and inspect the pipe end for scratches or burrs. Ensure the pipe is inserted fully and squarely.
Verify the pipe diameter is exactly 15mm and check that the pipe end has not been flattened during cutting.
To ensure a successful installation, cut the 15mm pipe squarely and remove all burrs from the end, as sharp edges can damage the internal O-ring. Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. This fitting is compatible with standard 15mm copper, PEX, and polybutylene pipe systems. For maintenance, simply ensure the fitting is not placed under excessive mechanical stress or tension from misaligned pipes. No lubrication is required for the O-ring under normal conditions. Always conduct a pressure test of the system before closing up any wall cavities or flooring.
