Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 45 Degree Stem Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to navigate complex 22mm pipe routing with ease. Its primary benefit is the rapid, solder-free push-fit installation that saves significant time on site, though users should ensure pipe ends are perfectly deburred to maintain an airtight seal.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for central heating systems?

Yes, it is designed to handle the temperatures and pressures typically found in domestic central heating and plumbing systems.

Do I need any tools to install this?

No tools are required for the connection, but you will need a pipe cutter and a deburring tool to prepare the pipe ends.

Can I reuse this fitting?

While these fittings are designed for a permanent, secure hold, they can often be removed and reused if the release collar is used correctly and the O-ring remains in good condition.

Is this fitting WRAS approved?

Yes, the entire Plumbright range is WRAS and KITEMARK approved for UK installations.

Can I use this on copper pipe?

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard 22mm copper pipe, provided the pipe is clean and free of deep scratches.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the connection point.

Ensure the pipe end is not scratched or burred; remove the fitting, smooth the pipe edge with sandpaper, and re-insert.

Difficult to push the pipe into the fitting.

Check that the pipe is perfectly round and free of debris. Ensure the pipe is cut squarely at a 90-degree angle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to copper soldering
  • Clean, professional white finish for exposed pipework
  • Reliable, industry-certified safety standards
  • High resistance to pressure and temperature fluctuations

Cons

  • Requires clean, deburred pipe ends to function properly
  • Not suitable for use with non-standard pipe diameters
  • Plastic fittings may be more prone to UV damage if left in direct, harsh sunlight

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 22mm pipe is cut cleanly and the outer edge is deburred to prevent damage to the internal O-ring seal. Once the pipe is prepared, push the stem of the elbow firmly into the existing pipe or push-fit coupling until it seats fully. The fitting is compatible with standard 22mm piping used in UK plumbing and heating systems. For maintenance, avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners on the exterior; a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. Periodically inspect the connection points during routine system checks to ensure no leaks have developed, particularly after initial pressure testing of the plumbing system.
