FAQs

What standard does this fitting meet?

The Plumbright Endfeed Street Elbow is manufactured to EN1254-1 standards.

Is this fitting suitable for drinking water?

Yes, it is WRAS certified, indicating its suitability for use in potable water systems when installed correctly.

What is the primary method of joining this fitting?

This is an 'End Feed' fitting, meaning it is joined using solder and heat through capillary action.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a pipe cutter, pipe reamer/deburrer, flux, solder wire, a suitable torch (e.g., propane), and heat-resistant gloves.

Can this fitting be used with push-fit pipe systems?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for end-feed (soldered) connections and is not compatible with push-fit or compression systems.

What does Kitemark certification mean?

Kitemark certification is an independent quality mark indicating that the product has been rigorously tested and meets relevant British Standards.

Troubleshooting

Solder not drawing into the joint

Ensure surfaces are clean and fluxed, and that the fitting is adequately heated. Reheat and apply solder.

Leaking joint after installation

The joint may not have been heated sufficiently or fully filled with solder. The fitting will need to be removed, cleaned, and resoldered.

Fitting feels loose on the pipe before soldering

Ensure the correct pipe diameter is being used. If the pipe is deformed, it may need to be re-rounded.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified quality assurance (Kitemark & WRAS)
  • Reliable and secure solder joint
  • Cost-effective plumbing solution
  • Facilitates precise 90-degree pipe bends
  • Durable construction meeting EN1254-1 standards

Cons

  • Requires soldering skill and equipment
  • Specific 42mm size limits application range
  • Not suitable for push-fit or compression systems
  • Potential for joint failure if not soldered correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure copper pipe ends are clean, de-burred, and free from oxidation.
  2. Apply flux evenly to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting.
  3. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting.
  4. Heat the fitting evenly with a suitable torch.
  5. Apply solder wire to the joint; it should be drawn into the gap by capillary action.
  6. Allow the joint to cool undisturbed.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with 42mm copper pipe.
  • Compatible with lead-free solder and appropriate flux for potable water systems.

Care:

  • No specific maintenance is required for the fitting itself once installed.
  • Ensure surrounding pipework is protected from damage.
