Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPlus Solder Ring Street Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable, high-quality copper connections for water and gas systems. Its primary benefit is the integrated solder ring, which eliminates the need for manual solder application, significantly speeding up the installation process. While these fittings offer superior convenience and British standard compliance, users must ensure they have the correct heat source to melt the integrated solder effectively to achieve a secure seal.

FAQs

Do I need to add extra solder?

No, the PrimaPlus fitting contains an integrated solder ring sufficient to create a strong, leak-free joint when heated correctly.

Can these be used for gas lines?

Yes, these fittings are suitable for both water and gas installations, provided they are installed according to local regulations.

Are they safe for drinking water?

Yes, they are fully WRAS approved, meaning they are certified safe for use in domestic drinking water systems.

What standard are these manufactured to?

They are manufactured to the EN 1254 standard and carry the BSI Kite mark.

What does 'street' elbow mean?

A street elbow has one end with a socket and the other end with a spigot (pipe size) that fits directly into another fitting or valve.

Troubleshooting

Solder does not melt uniformly

Ensure the heat source is moved evenly around the entire circumference of the fitting rather than concentrating on one spot.

Joint leaks after cooling

The joint likely did not reach the proper temperature for capillary action or the pipe was not cleaned correctly. Reheat to reflow the solder or disassemble, clean, and re-solder.

Pipe will not fit into the socket

Check that the copper pipe end is not deformed and that any burrs from the pipe cutter have been removed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated solder saves significant time on site
  • Certified for drinking water systems (WRAS approved)
  • Meets high-quality British Standards (Kite marked)
  • Consistent, reliable fit due to EN 1254 manufacturing
  • Versatile use across both water and gas installations

Cons

  • Requires proper torch control to avoid overheating
  • Street elbow shape limits application to specific joint types
  • Higher initial cost compared to plain end fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare: Ensure the pipe end is clean, free of oxidation, and deburred.
  2. Insert: Push the pipe fully into the fitting socket until it hits the stop.
  3. Heat: Apply an appropriate heat source (plumbing torch) evenly around the fitting socket until the solder ring melts.
  4. Inspect: Watch for a continuous, bright ring of solder appearing at the joint junction.
  5. Cool: Allow the joint to cool naturally without moving it.

These fittings are compatible with all standard 15mm copper tubing manufactured to matching EN standards. For care, keep fittings in their original packaging in a dry environment to prevent premature oxidation of the integrated solder.
