Compression Elbow C X C - 15Mm

Compression Elbow C x C - 15mm

The Compression Elbow (C x C) in 15mm is a reliable, demountable, and flame-free brass fitting used to create a watertight and permanent 90-degree change of direction in 15mm copper or stainless steel pipework. This fitting relies on mechanical sealing: tightening the compression nuts squeezes a brass or copper olive (or ferrule) onto the pipe, creating a strong, secure, and easily serviceable joint without the need for soldering or pressing tools.

Technical Specifications and Installation Advantages
Pipe Connection: 15mm Compression on both ends – Creates a mechanical, reusable seal.

Configuration: Equal Elbow (C x C) – Both ports are the same size (15mm).

Angle: 90 Degrees – For standard right-angle turns in the pipe run.

Function: Provides a fast, robust, and demountable directional change, making it ideal for accessible locations (like under sinks or near appliances) where future maintenance may be required.

Sealing Method: Uses a metal olive (ferrule) compressed by a nut against the pipe.

Material: High-Quality Brass, often nickel-plated for domestic applications.

The Installer's Advantage (Demountable and Versatile)
The 15mm compression elbow is highly popular due to its versatility and ease of installation in situations where hot work (soldering) is impossible or restricted. Crucially, compression joints are demountable, meaning they can be easily undone and refitted, making them perfect for connecting appliances, isolation valves, or terminal points in a system.
