This 15mm compression 90-degree elbow is a fundamental brass fitting manufactured for forming secure right-angle directional changes in domestic copper pipework. Designed for universal application across both hot and cold water supplies as well as central heating circuits, the fitting relies on a mechanical compression connection, removing the requirement for hot works or soldering on site. Each terminal is supplied complete with a pre-loaded olive and a precisely machined compression nut, ensuring a robust, watertight seal when adequately torqued. Weighing 0.072kg, the brass construction delivers resistance to corrosion and structural degradation under standard hydraulic pressures.

The mechanical jointing method makes this component particularly valuable in hazardous environments or tight installation spaces where the use of a blowtorch is prohibited or impractical. Meeting rigorous WRAS standards where applicable, it ensures that drinking water integrity is maintained without risk of contamination. Providing a highly reliable and easily demountable connection, this compression elbow forms an essential part of basic plumbing infrastructure for trade professionals.

Q: Does this fitting require jointing compound for a secure seal?
A: When correctly tightened, the internal brass olive compresses to form a mechanical seal without additional compounds, though standard pastes are sometimes used.

Q: Can this elbow be easily removed after installation?
A: Yes, the mechanical nature of the compression nut allows the fitting to be carefully slackened and disassembled if required.

Q: Is this component suitable for gas installations?
A: It is strictly designed for domestic hot and cold hydronic systems and central heating circuits.

Q: What is the standard connection size for this joint?
A: The fitting accommodates standard 15mm external diameter copper pipe at both ends.
