Troubleshooting
Leak at compression fitting
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and clean. Retighten the compression nut firmly but avoid overtightening, which can damage the pipe or fitting. Check that the pipe wall thickness is compatible (0.5mm).
Difficulty fitting pipe
Verify the pipe diameter and wall thickness match the specified 15mm x 0.5mm. Ensure the pipe end is square and free from burrs.
Wall plate not flush
Check for obstructions behind the wall plate. Ensure the wall surface is even. Use appropriate wall fixings to secure it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Preparation: Ensure the pipe is clean and free from burrs. Measure and cut the 15mm pipe to the required length for passing through the wall.
Wall Fitting: Position the wall plate against the exterior wall surface where the pipe will emerge. Mark and prepare the opening for the pipe.
Pipe Insertion: Carefully feed the 15mm pipe through the wall opening and into the elbow fitting on the wall plate.
Compression: Tighten the compression nuts on both ends of the elbow fitting onto the 15mm pipe. Ensure a snug fit to create a seal.
Securing: Secure the wall plate to the exterior wall using appropriate screws (not included).
Compatibility:
This elbow is designed for 15mm nominal bore pipe with a 0.5mm wall thickness.
Ensure your existing plumbing system uses compatible pipe materials (e.g., copper, specific plastics).
Care:
Periodically check compression fittings for tightness, especially after the first few uses.
Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the brass finish.
