Elbows

Elbows – Brass Compression Fittings are plumbing components used to change the direction of pipework, typically at 90° or 45°, providing a reliable, leak-proof joint without soldering.

About Elbows – Brass Compression Fittings

Brass compression elbows are designed to redirect copper or plastic pipes while maintaining a secure, watertight connection. The fitting uses a compression nut and olive to seal the pipe, eliminating the need for soldering or heat. These elbows are suitable for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications, including central heating, hot and cold water, and approved gas systems.

Available in a variety of sizes and angles, compression elbows provide a flexible and durable solution for pipe routing in tight or complex installations.

Installation & Technical Info

To install, slide the compression nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the elbow, and tighten the nut using a suitable spanner. Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the pipe or fitting. Check for leaks after installation and ensure proper alignment of the pipework.

Compression elbows can be removed and reused if necessary for maintenance or modifications.
