FAQs

What type of solder should I use?

Use solder specifically designed for copper pipes and plumbing applications. Always follow the solder manufacturer's instructions.

Can I use this fitting with other pipe materials?

No, this fitting is designed for use only with 28mm copper pipes.

How do I remove the fitting if I make a mistake?

Heat the fitting with a torch to melt the solder and carefully remove the pipe. Be cautious of burns.

What is the purpose of flux?

Flux cleans the metal surfaces, allowing the solder to flow and create a strong, leak-free joint.

How do I store the fittings?

Store the fittings in a clean, dry place to prevent corrosion and damage.

What safety precautions should I take when soldering?

Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling fumes from the flux or solder.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Ensure proper soldering technique, check for cracks, and re-solder if necessary. Check the pipe and fitting for proper alignment.

Solder not flowing properly.

Ensure the pipe and fitting are clean, apply sufficient flux, and heat the fitting and pipe adequately.

Difficulty inserting the pipe into the fitting.

Ensure both the pipe and fitting are the correct size (28mm). Check for burrs or obstructions and remove them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates strong, reliable joints.
  • Facilitates changes in direction within a plumbing system.
  • Durable and long-lasting.
  • Endfeed design simplifies soldering.

Cons

  • Requires proper soldering skills for effective use.
  • May require additional fittings for complex layouts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Clean the 28mm pipe and the inside of the elbow fitting thoroughly to remove any debris or oxidation.
  2. Flux Application: Apply flux to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting. This helps the solder flow.
  3. Assembly: Insert the pipe fully into the fitting.
  4. Soldering: Heat the fitting and pipe with a torch. Apply solder to the joint until it flows evenly around the connection.
  5. Cooling: Allow the joint to cool completely before moving or applying pressure.

Compatibility: This fitting is specifically designed for use with 28mm copper pipes.

Care: Regularly inspect the joints for leaks or corrosion. If leaks are detected, the joint may need to be re-soldered or replaced. Avoid excessive force or stress on the fitting.
