What pipe size does this elbow fit?

What does 'Dzr' mean?
Dzr typically refers to 'Dezincification Resistant' brass, an alloy formulated to resist the loss of zinc when in contact with water, enhancing its durability and lifespan in plumbing systems.
How do I clean the fitting before installation?
Ensure the pipe ends and the inside of the fitting are clean and free from debris or obstructions. A damp cloth can be used if necessary, ensuring it is dry before proceeding with installation.
Troubleshooting
Leak detected at the fitting after installation
Ensure the pipe is correctly inserted, the compression ring is properly seated, and the nut is tightened sufficiently. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting. Re-tighten the nut cautiously.
Difficulty tightening the compression nut
Verify that the correct size fitting (35mm) is being used for the pipe. Ensure there are no obstructions or cross-threading. Lubricate the threads of the nut and fitting lightly if necessary.
Fitting does not seem secure
Confirm that the pipe is fully engaged within the fitting body and that the compression ring (olive) is correctly positioned around the pipe and against the fitting body before tightening the nut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the ends of the 35mm pipes are clean, free from burrs, and cut squarely.
- Slide the compression nut onto the pipe, followed by the compression ring (olive).
- Insert the pipe fully into the elbow fitting body.
- Slide the compression ring and nut up to the fitting body.

- Store fittings in a clean, dry environment before installation.
