WRAS-Approved Compression Brass Elbows for Potable Water and Gas Applications

Ensuring safety and compliance in potable water and gas systems is essential, and WRAS-approved compression brass elbows provide a reliable solution. Certified by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), these fittings are made from non-toxic materials that prevent harmful substances from contaminating drinking water. Additionally, they are suitable for gas applications due to their durability and leak-proof design. Common uses include:

• Kitchen plumbing systems, such as taps and sinks
• Drinking water fountains
• Water filtration systems
• Gas pipelines for residential, commercial, or industrial setups

Choosing WRAS-approved compression elbows ensures your plumbing and gas systems meet strict safety standards while delivering reliable performance.

How to Install Compression Brass Elbows

Installing compression brass elbows is a simple, solder-free process, making them ideal for professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Follow these steps for a secure connection:

1. Prepare the Pipe: Cut the pipe to the required length and remove burrs for a smooth surface.
2. Slide on Components: Place the compression nut and olive (ring) onto the pipe.
3. Insert the Pipe: Push the pipe into the elbow fitting until it reaches the stop.
4. Tighten the Fitting: Use a wrench to tighten the compression nut, securing the olive and creating a leak-proof seal.

These steps ensure reliable connections for potable water, heating systems, and gas pipelines.

Leak-Proof Elbow Connections for Retrofitting Projects

Retrofitting older systems often requires fittings that can seamlessly connect new pipes with existing ones. Compression brass elbows provide a reliable retrofitting solution, ensuring compatibility with different materials like plastic, copper, and PEX. Their leak-proof design makes them ideal for modernizing both water and gas systems.

Compression Brass Elbows for Central Heating, Radiators, and Gas Systems

For central heating systems and gas lines, brass elbows offer robust connections capable of handling high temperatures, pressure, and gas flow.

• 15mm compression elbows are ideal for radiators, boilers, and small gas appliances.
• 22mm brass elbows provide secure and efficient performance in underfloor heating systems, larger installations, and medium-scale gas lines.

High-Pressure Compression Brass Elbows for Water and Gas Systems

In high-pressure environments, compression elbows excel due to their durability and leak-proof performance. Common applications include:

• Commercial plumbing systems
• Industrial water pipelines
• Gas distribution systems
• Multi-story residential gas and water supply lines

Their sturdy construction ensures long-term reliability under demanding conditions.

Dezincification-Resistant Compression Elbows for Drinking Water and Gas

Dezincification-resistant compression elbows are essential for potable water systems and gas pipelines. These fittings are specially engineered to withstand corrosion, ensuring safety and long-lasting performance for both applications.

Compact  Brass Elbows for Tight Spaces

In confined areas like under sinks, behind appliances, or in tight gas installations, compact  brass elbows are invaluable. Their space-saving design enables precise and secure connections, even in challenging setups.

Compression Brass Elbows for Underfloor Heating Loops and Gas Lines

For underfloor heating systems, compression brass elbows ensure efficient heat distribution through secure and leak-free connections. Additionally, they provide reliable performance in gas pipelines, ensuring safety and efficiency in gas-powered heating loops.

How to Choose the Right Compression Brass Elbow Size

Selecting the correct size compression brass elbow is crucial for compatibility and performance in water and gas systems. Consider these common sizes:

• 15mm elbows: Ideal for domestic plumbing, heating, and small gas appliances.
• 22mm elbows: Best for high-flow water systems, underfloor heating, and medium gas lines.
• 28mm elbows: Suitable for commercial-grade water and gas systems.
• 35mm–54mm elbows: Designed for industrial pipelines and large-scale gas distribution systems.

Matching the fitting size to your pipe diameter ensures a reliable and efficient connection.

Robust Brass Elbows for Potable Water and Gas Systems

For potable water and gas systems, compression brass elbows offer unmatched safety, durability, and leak resistance. These fittings are ideal for applications such as kitchen plumbing, drinking fountains, filtration systems, and gas pipelines.
