Prima Plus Chrome Compression Elbow - 28mm x 1" Female

Yes, Prima Plus compression fittings are manufactured to high standards and are suitable for typical domestic water pressures. Always ensure correct installation for optimal performance.

You will need two wrenches (typically pipe wrenches or adjustable spanners) to tighten the compression nut. Ensure the wrenches are the correct size to avoid damaging the fitting or nut.

The product description states suitability for gas installations. However, always confirm with local regulations and gas-specific standards to ensure compliance for your particular gas application.

Compression fittings like this one do not require heat or solder, making installation quicker and easier, especially for DIY users. They rely on mechanical compression to create a seal.

The fitting itself is the elbow piece. Compression olives and nuts are typically sold separately and must be matched to the pipe size (28mm in this case).

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the water regulations for use in contact with drinking water, ensuring it does not contaminate the water supply.

The Kite Mark is a voluntary British certification mark indicating that a product complies with the relevant British Standard (BS), assuring quality and safety.

Ensure the compression olive is correctly seated and the nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the pipe end for damage or deformation. If the leak persists, the olive or fitting may be faulty, and replacement may be necessary.

Verify that the correct size nut and olive are being used for the 28mm pipe. Check for any cross-threading or debris on the threads of both the fitting and the nut.

Confirm the 28mm pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Ensure the compression olive is not damaged and is properly aligned. Over-tightening can sometimes damage the pipe or olive, leading to leaks; try slightly loosening and re-tightening carefully.
