Drayton Compression Elbow - 15mm - Silver

This elbow is designed for 15mm diameter pipework.

No, standard plumbing tools like two wrenches are sufficient for tightening the compression fittings. No soldering is required.

No, this is a compression fitting and is not compatible with push-fit pipe systems. It requires a compression olive and nut.

The product description indicates it is an 'angled connection' for directional pipe routing, typically implying a 90-degree bend, but specific degrees are not stated.

The finish is designed for durability in heating environments. While resistant, like most finishes, it can be affected by harsh chemicals. Standard cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.

Yes, it is designed for use in heating system environments, which includes hot water circulation.

Typically, compression fittings like this are sold with the necessary olive and nut. Please check the product packaging for confirmation.

Ensure the pipe is clean and straight, the olive is correctly seated, and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Check for damage to the pipe or fitting. If the leak persists, the olive may need replacing, and the joint re-made.

Verify you are using a 15mm pipe and that the pipe end is not deformed or damaged. Ensure there are no internal obstructions in the elbow fitting.

This indicates a need for precise pipe bending or adjustment before installing the elbow. The elbow itself provides a fixed angle; pipework must be prepared to meet it correctly.
