Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Push Fit Elbows are an ideal solution for both professional plumbers and DIY homeowners looking for a reliable, tool-free method to redirect 15mm piping. These elbows excel in environments where speed and ease of installation are critical, as they eliminate the need for soldering or crimping tools. While they provide excellent convenience and versatility across both hard and soft water systems, it is essential to ensure that the pipe ends are properly deburred and cleaned to maintain a secure, leak-free seal.

FAQs

Are these elbows reusable?

Yes, they can generally be reused if the collet and O-ring remain in good condition and the pipe was not damaged during removal.

Can I use these on copper and plastic pipe?

Yes, these are designed to be compatible with a wide range of standard pipe materials, provided the outer diameter matches the 15mm specification.

Do I need to use pipe sealant or tape?

No, these fittings rely on an internal O-ring seal and a collet gripping mechanism. Adding tape can interfere with the seal integrity.

Are they suitable for central heating systems?

Yes, they are suitable for standard residential central heating systems, though you should always verify local building codes.

What is the primary benefit of the push-fit design?

The primary benefit is the significant reduction in installation time and the removal of the need for heat-based joining methods.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Remove the pipe, inspect the O-ring inside the fitting for damage, and ensure the pipe end is free of burrs or scratches.

Pipe will not insert fully into the fitting

Check that the pipe is cut perfectly square and that the end has been properly deburred.

Fitting is difficult to remove

Use a proper release tool designed for push-fit fittings to compress the collet teeth evenly before pulling the pipe out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these best practices:

  1. Prepare the Pipe: Ensure the 15mm pipe is cut square. Use a deburring tool to remove all sharp edges and burrs, as these can damage the internal O-ring seal.
  2. Clean the Surface: Wipe the end of the pipe clean of any debris, paint, or grease before insertion.
  3. Insertion: Firmly push the pipe into the elbow until you feel it hit the internal stop.
  4. Verification: Give the pipe a firm pull to ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
  5. Maintenance: While these fittings are maintenance-free, periodically check the joints for any signs of moisture or weeping, especially in systems prone to significant temperature fluctuations.
