Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Solder Ring Obtuse Elbow 45 - 15mm is designed for professional plumbers and experienced DIY enthusiasts who require reliable, efficient pipe connections for water and gas systems. Its primary benefit is the integrated solder ring, which eliminates the need to apply external solder, significantly reducing installation time and effort. However, users must ensure they have a proper heat source, such as a blowtorch, to effectively melt the pre-applied solder for a secure, airtight seal.

Troubleshooting

Solder not flowing properly

Ensure the pipe is cleaned with wire wool and check that the fitting was heated evenly around the entire circumference.

Joint leaks after cooling

Excessive oxidation on pipe

Avoid overheating the copper; remove the heat source as soon as the solder ring melts into the joint.

Pros and Cons

  • Faster installation process due to integrated solder
  • High-quality copper meeting EN 1254 standards
  • Safe for drinking water applications (WRAS approved)
  • Consistent, professional-grade joints
  • Reliable performance in both gas and water systems

  • Requires a blowtorch for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the 15mm Prima Plus Obtuse Elbow, start by ensuring the copper pipe ends are clean and free of burrs. Apply a small amount of soldering flux to the pipe end before inserting it into the fitting. Using a suitable heat source, heat the fitting evenly until you see the solder begin to flow around the joint. Once cooled, wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove any residual flux, which can be corrosive over time. These fittings are exclusively for copper pipework and must not be used on different materials. Always check local plumbing codes before modifying gas supply lines.
