Primaflow Prima Classic Compression Wallplate Elbow - 15mm x 1/2 Fi

Yes, the Prima Classic Compression Wallplate Elbow is WRAS approved and suitable for hot and cold water systems.

This fitting is designed for 15mm copper, MDPE, or PEX pipes.

Yes, it can be used for gas installations, but it is crucial to comply with all relevant local codes and regulations for gas piping.

No, this is a compression fitting and does not require soldering. It seals using a compression nut and olive.

You will need two wrenches: one to hold the fitting body steady and another to tighten the compression nut.

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been independently verified to meet the highest standards for water regulations in the UK, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water.

Tighten the nut until a firm, leak-free seal is achieved. Overtightening can damage the fitting or pipe, so it's best to tighten it firmly but without excessive force.

Ensure the pipe is correctly inserted, the olive is seated properly, and the nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the pipe end for damage or deformation. If the leak persists, the olive or nut may need replacement, and the joint redone.

Ensure the pipe is round and not distorted. Lubricate the olive threads lightly with suitable pipe jointing compound if necessary. Avoid excessive force that could damage the fitting or pipe.

Verify that the wall plate has a compatible 1/2" male thread. Ensure the threads are clean and undamaged. Check that the wall plate is securely mounted and not warped.
