Primaflow Prima Plus Compression Elbow - 22mm x 1/2" Male

The fitting is manufactured to EN 1254 standards and is WRAS approved, which typically covers standard domestic water pressures. For systems with exceptionally high pressures, always consult specific technical datasheets or a qualified professional.

Compression fittings use a nut and ring (olive) to create a seal by compressing the ring onto the pipe. Press fittings require a specialized tool to crimp the fitting onto the pipe, creating a permanent seal.

While durable, compression fittings are generally recommended for accessible locations where they can be inspected. For buried applications, consider fittings designed specifically for such environments and always comply with local building regulations.

This fitting is for 22mm pipes. Ensure your pipe measures 22mm in outer diameter. You can verify this with a measuring tape or by checking the pipe's specification.

It is strongly recommended to use a new compression ring for each installation to ensure a reliable and leak-free seal. Reusing an old ring can compromise the integrity of the connection.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been rigorously tested and meets the stringent requirements for water fittings in the UK, ensuring it does not contaminate drinking water.

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted and the compression nut was tightened sufficiently. Check for any damage to the pipe or the compression ring. Re-tighten the nut or, if the issue persists, consider replacing the compression ring and reassembling.

Verify the pipe diameter is correct (22mm). Ensure the pipe end is clean, smooth, and free from any deformation. Slight lubrication with water can sometimes help.

Ensure the pipe is adequately supported. Use a pipe insert if recommended for the specific pipe material and application (especially for soft copper or plastic pipes). Do not overtighten.
