Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 10mm x 1/2 inch BSP Tap Swivel Elbow Union is an essential component for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts looking to simplify under-sink installations. By utilizing advanced push-fit technology, it enables rapid pipe alignment and ensures a reliable, watertight seal without the risks or time requirements of traditional hot works. While it is highly versatile for domestic and light commercial plumbing, it is specifically designed for 10mm piping and may not be compatible with thicker industrial-grade pipe diameters.

FAQs

Does this require any special tools?

No, this is a push-fit connector. No soldering or hot work is required.

Is this safe for drinking water?

Yes, being WRAS approved, it is certified for use with potable water systems.

Can I remove the pipe after inserting it?

The fitting is designed for a secure, semi-permanent connection; removal usually requires specific pipe release tools depending on the internal collet design.

What is the maximum temperature rating?

It is designed to handle standard domestic hot and cold water temperatures; check the packaging for specific temperature limits.

Is the 1/2 inch BSP thread compatible with all taps?

It is compatible with standard UK 1/2 inch BSP tap tails found on most domestic basin and kitchen mixers.

Troubleshooting

Water weeping from the push-fit connection

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully home into the fitting and the end is cut square without rough edges.

Leakage at the 1/2 inch BSP thread

Check that the rubber sealing washer is seated correctly and tighten the connection slightly further.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Lubricate the end of the pipe slightly with water or a silicone-based lubricant compatible with plumbing components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free push-fit installation saves significant labor time.
  • Eliminates the need for hot works or soldering.
  • Swivel mechanism reduces stress on connections.
  • Certified safety and durability through WRAS and KITEMARK.
  • White finish provides a clean, professional look for exposed pipes.

Cons

  • Restricted to 10mm diameter pipes only.
  • Not intended for high-pressure industrial pipe systems.
  • Push-fit connections may feel less permanent to traditionalist plumbers compared to soldered joints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 10mm pipe end is cut squarely and free of burrs to allow the internal O-ring to seal effectively. Simply push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the stop depth. For the 1/2 inch BSP side, ensure a proper rubber washer is present before threading onto the tap tail, tightening by hand or with a light wrench to avoid over-tightening. For care, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners on the plastic finish; simply wipe with a damp cloth. Periodically inspect the fitting for signs of weeping or movement during routine system maintenance.
