Product Information

Full details

The PEPTE 15mm x 3/4" BSP compression male elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a reliable, solder-free method to transition between 15mm copper or plastic pipework and a 3/4" BSP female connection. Its primary advantage is the ease of installation in tight spaces where heat-based tools are impractical; however, users should note that as a compression fitting, it requires careful tightening to prevent leaks and is generally intended for accessible locations rather than behind finished walls.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this fitting require solder?

No, this is a mechanical compression fitting and does not require soldering.

Is this suitable for gas lines?

No, this fitting is intended for water and heating systems. Always use gas-rated components for gas lines.

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

Yes, but you must ensure you use a pipe insert (stiffener) inside the plastic pipe to prevent it from collapsing when compressed.

What does WRAS approved mean?

It means the product has been tested and certified to comply with water regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with mains water.

Can I reuse this fitting?

While the body is reusable, it is highly recommended to replace the olive if you remove the fitting to ensure a fresh, leak-free seal.

Troubleshooting

Water weeping from the compression joint

Tighten the compression nut by another quarter turn. Do not overtighten, as this can crush the olive.

Connection does not sit square

Ensure the pipe has been cut perfectly square and is fully inserted into the fitting before tightening.

Leaking at the threaded connection

Unscrew the threaded side, apply fresh PTFE tape to the male threads, and reconnect firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No heat or soldering required for installation
  • WRAS approved for potable water safety
  • Easy to disassemble for future maintenance
  • Compatible with various pipe materials

Cons

  • Not recommended for inaccessible areas behind tiles or walls
  • Requires proper tightening to avoid overtightening the olive
  • Bulkier than a standard solder fitting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 15mm pipe is cut clean and free of burrs. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body, and tighten the nut by hand before finishing with a wrench—usually an additional half-turn is sufficient. For the 3/4" BSP thread side, use PTFE tape or a dedicated liquid thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof connection to your female fitting. While compression joints are robust, it is good practice to check for leaks after the system is pressurized and to avoid using harsh chemicals on the brass finish during routine system maintenance.
