FAQs

What is the purpose of the Kitemark?

The Kitemark indicates that the product has been tested to meet specific British Standards for safety, reliability, and quality.

Can I use these for drinking water?

Yes, these fittings are WRAS approved, which confirms they are safe for use in drinking water systems.

Do I need a specific type of solder?

Use a lead-free plumbing solder that is appropriate for the pressure and temperature ratings of your specific water or gas project.

Can this fitting be used with PEX piping?

No, this is an endfeed fitting designed exclusively for copper pipes.

Troubleshooting

Solder not flowing into the joint

Ensure the fitting and pipe are cleaned thoroughly of oxidation and that the surface is heated evenly before applying the solder.

Joint leaks after cooling

The joint may have a 'dry' spot. Re-heat the fitting, apply more flux, and re-apply a small amount of solder to the area where the leak is present.

Difficulty heating the large 54mm diameter

Ensure you are using a high-output torch appropriate for large diameter copper fittings to maintain temperature across the entire circumference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation with the Prima Plus 54mm Elbow, follow these standard plumbing procedures:

  1. Preparation: Use a pipe cutter to ensure a square end on your 54mm copper pipe and deburr both the inside and outside of the pipe to remove any rough edges.
  2. Cleaning: Use a wire brush or emery cloth to clean the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting socket until they are bright and shiny.
  3. Fluxing: Apply a thin layer of suitable plumbing flux to both surfaces to prevent oxidation and encourage solder flow.
  4. Heating: Heat the fitting evenly; when the flux bubbles, touch the solder wire to the joint interface. The capillary action will draw the molten solder into the gap.
  5. Care: Keep the system free from harsh abrasive chemicals. Periodically inspect joints for signs of exterior corrosion, especially in environments with high humidity or exposure to cleaning agents.
