FAQs

What is the main benefit of using Prima Plus fittings?

Prima Plus fittings are manufactured to high British and European standards (BS Kite Mark, EN 1254) and are WRAS approved, ensuring reliability, safety, and compliance for water installations.

Can these fittings be used for gas pipes?

Yes, the Prima Plus fittings meet the required standards (EN 1254, BS Kite Mark) for gas installations, but always ensure compliance with specific local gas safety regulations.

What type of pipe does the 35mm elbow fit?

This fitting is designed specifically for 35mm copper pipe using the endfeed (soldered) connection method.

How do I ensure a good solder joint?

Ensure both the pipe and fitting are clean and tinned with flux, heat the joint evenly, and allow the solder to be drawn in by capillary action. Wipe away excess flux once cooled.

Are these fittings suitable for all water types?

They are WRAS approved for drinking water. For aggressive water conditions, additional system measures might be necessary to prevent premature corrosion.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been assessed and meets the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales, making it suitable for use with potable water.

Do I need special tools to install this elbow?

You will need standard plumbing tools for copper pipework, including pipe cutters, emery cloth or cleaning tool, flux, solder, and a blowtorch for soldering.

Troubleshooting

Fitting will not accept pipe fully

Ensure the pipe is not deformed and that both the pipe end and fitting socket are perfectly round and clean. Check for any internal obstructions in the fitting.

Solder not drawing into the joint

Verify that both the pipe and fitting are sufficiently heated. Ensure flux has been applied correctly to both surfaces. Check that the pipe is fully inserted. Make sure the correct type of solder is being used.

Leak detected after soldering

The joint may not have been heated evenly or had sufficient solder. Reheat the joint and apply more solder. If the leak persists, the fitting may need to be replaced, and the joint redone.

Discoloration on the exterior of the fitting

This is often due to flux residue or heat during soldering. Clean with a soft cloth. If it is deep corrosion, inspect the water quality and consider the longevity of the fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality copper material ensures longevity.
  • WRAS approval confirms suitability for potable water.
  • Kite Mark signifies adherence to rigorous British Standards.
  • Precise 90-degree angle simplifies complex pipe layouts.
  • Durable construction withstands typical installation stresses.

Cons

  • Requires soldering skills for installation.
  • Specific 35mm size limits direct application without adapters.
  • Copper can be susceptible to certain aggressive water conditions without proper treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the ends of the 35mm copper pipe and the inside of the elbow fitting are clean and free from debris. Use emery cloth or a pipe cleaning tool for a bright, clean surface.
  2. Flux Application: Apply a thin, even layer of appropriate flux to both the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket.
  3. Assembly: Insert the pipe fully into the fitting socket.
  4. Soldering: Heat the joint evenly with a suitable torch, applying solder to the opposite side of the fitting from the heat source. Allow the solder to be drawn into the joint by capillary action.
  5. Cooling & Cleaning: Allow the joint to cool undisturbed. Once cool, wipe away any excess flux residue with a damp cloth.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with 35mm copper pipe.
  • Suitable for both hot and cold water systems (WRAS approved).
  • Approved for gas installations under relevant British Standards (EN 1254, BS Kite Mark), though specific gas regulations must always be followed.

Care:

  • Under normal operating conditions, copper fittings require minimal care once installed.
  • Avoid exposure to highly aggressive water chemistries that could lead to premature corrosion. System water quality checks are recommended for long-term performance.
  • Regularly inspect visible pipework for any signs of external damage or corrosion, though failure is rare in properly installed systems.
