The Prima Plus Compression Elbow is designed for professional plumbers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a high-quality, secure connection between 15mm copper piping and 1/2-inch threaded components. These British-manufactured brass fittings offer exceptional reliability and safety for both water and gas systems, though they require careful tightening during installation to ensure a leak-free seal without damaging the olive.

Yes, Prima Plus compression fittings are suitable for use in both water and gas plumbing systems.
Compression joints are designed to seal via the olive; PTFE tape is generally not required on the compression side but can be used on the threaded side if necessary.
They are WRAS approved and carry the BSI Kitemark, meeting EN 1254 standards.
It is highly recommended to replace the olive if the fitting is disassembled, as the olive deforms during the initial tightening process.
These fittings are proudly manufactured in Britain.
Gently tighten the compression nut another quarter turn. If it continues to leak, remove the fitting and inspect the olive for damage or debris.
Ensure the pipe is inserted deep enough into the fitting and check that the threads are not cross-threaded.
To install, ensure the copper pipe is cut square and the end is deburred to prevent damaging the internal olive. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body, and tighten the nut by hand before finishing with a spanner. Do not over-tighten, as this can deform the olive and create leaks. These fittings are compatible with standard 15mm copper tubing. For maintenance, keep the area dry and inspect periodically for signs of moisture or green corrosion, which may indicate a loose nut. If disassembling, inspect the olive for damage and replace it if it has become overly flattened.
