Product Information

Full details

This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to create specific flow systems in plumbing installations. The Plumbright Endfeed Obtuse Street Elbow offers a robust and leak-free connection at a 45-degree angle for 28mm piping. A key benefit is its ability to facilitate complex pipe routing with a secure fitting. A potential caveat is that it's designed for specific pipe diameters and requires appropriate joining techniques.

FAQs

What is an obtuse street elbow?

An obtuse street elbow is a plumbing fitting that connects two pipes at an angle, where one end connects directly like a standard elbow, and the other end has a 'street' connection that inserts directly into another fitting or pipe without needing an additional coupling.

What angle does this elbow create?

This specific Plumbright elbow creates a 45-degree angle.

What size pipe is this elbow for?

This elbow is designed for 28mm diameter pipework.

How is this fitting joined to pipes?

It is an 'end feed' fitting, which typically means it is joined using solder for copper pipes or appropriate compression fittings for compatible pipe materials.

Can I use this for a 90-degree turn?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for a 45-degree turn. You would need a different fitting for a 90-degree angle.

What materials can I use with this fitting?

It is primarily intended for copper pipes but can be used with other pipe materials compatible with end-feed joining methods and the 28mm diameter.

Troubleshooting

Leaking joint after installation

Ensure the joint was properly heated and filled with solder, or that compression fittings are tightened correctly. Check for cracks or damage to the fitting.

Difficulty fitting pipe into elbow

Verify that both the pipe and the elbow are the correct 28mm diameter and that there are no obstructions or deformation on the pipe end.

Solder not flowing into the joint

Ensure adequate heat has been applied to the fitting and pipe, and that flux has been used correctly to aid solder flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates angled pipe routing.
  • Ensures strong, leak-free connections.
  • Designed for a specific, common pipe size (28mm).
  • Reduces the need for extra fittings in some scenarios.
  • Durable and built for long-term plumbing use.

Cons

  • Limited to 45-degree angles.
  • Only compatible with 28mm diameter pipes.
  • Requires soldering or compression fitting expertise.
  • Not suitable for all plumbing configurations.
  • Specific angle may not suit every project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 28mm pipe ends and the interior of the elbow are clean and free from debris.
  2. Apply flux to the pipe ends and the interior of the elbow socket.
  3. Insert the pipe fully into the elbow.
  4. Heat the joint evenly and apply solder (for copper) or use appropriate compression fittings as per manufacturer guidelines.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with 28mm diameter pipework, typically copper but compatible with other materials if they meet the 28mm standard and are suitable for the chosen joining method.
  • Ensure compatibility with your chosen joining method (soldering, compression).

Care:

  • As a permanent plumbing fitting, it requires no routine care once installed.
  • Regular checks of the overall plumbing system for leaks are recommended.
