Primaflow Prima Classic Compression Elbow - 10mm

Yes, the Prima Classic range is suitable for use with natural gas and LPG, provided you comply with all relevant local regulations and use appropriate jointing materials if necessary for the specific gas type.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been assessed and complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. This ensures it is safe for use with drinking water and will not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.

This fitting is compatible with 10mm plastic pipe that is specifically designed for use with compression fittings. Ensure the pipe is rigid enough to support the compression forces.

For standard water applications, no thread sealant is typically required on the compression threads themselves, as the seal is made by the olive compressing onto the pipe. For gas, always check local regulations, as some applications may require specific sealants.

Tighten the nuts firmly using two wrenches. The recommended number of turns after hand-tightening varies slightly by manufacturer, but typically involves about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn. Overtightening can damage the fitting or pipe, while undertightening can lead to leaks.

This fitting is manufactured to EN 1254 standard, which is a European standard for copper and copper alloy fittings.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the compression nuts are tightened evenly. Check for damage to the pipe end or olive. Ensure the olive is correctly positioned.

Check for cross-threading. Ensure the pipe is straight and not being forced into the fitting. Clean the threads on both the nut and the fitting.

While brass is durable, prolonged exposure to aggressive water conditions can cause surface corrosion. Ensure water quality is within normal parameters. If severe, consider replacing the fitting.
