Compression Elbow Female C X Fi - 15Mm X 1/2'

Compression Elbow Female C x FI - 15mm x 1/2'

The Brass Compression Female Elbow (15mm x 1/2" C x Fi) is a versatile, mechanical fitting used to create a reliable, right-angle connection between a standard 15mm copper pipe and a threaded fixture that requires a 1/2" BSP Female Thread. This fitting is ideal for installations where heat cannot be used or where future disassembly may be required.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to standard specifications (e.g., BS EN 1254 or BS 864-2) and is typically WRAS Approved, ensuring safe use with potable (drinking) water.

Material: Constructed from durable Brass, offering superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to copper fittings.

Configuration: Female Elbow – Combines a 90-degree bend with a threaded connection:

Compression Port (C): Connects to the 15mm copper pipe using a compression nut and olive.

Threaded Port (Fi): Features a robust 1/2" BSP Female Thread for connecting to a corresponding 1/2" Male fitting (e.g., tap tail, reducing nipple, or valve).

Size: 15mm pipe connection to a common 1/2"
Function: Used to create a rigid, 90-degree termination point for the 15mm pipe run, often used to connect pipework to the inlet of a cistern, a boiler, or other appliances.

Installation Method: Heat-Free Mechanical Seal – Installation requires no heat. The compression nut forces the olive onto the pipe,
The Installer's Advantage
The compression elbow provides the flexibility of a mechanical joint at a terminal connection point. This is particularly useful in tight spaces or near sensitive materials where using a blowtorch is unsafe or impractical.

Essential Companion Products (Compression System)
To successfully create a permanent, leak-proof compression joint, the following materials are required:

Pipe: Requires 15mm pipe for the connection: Copper Tube 15mm x 0.7mm x 3m

Olive: Essential for the seal (usually supplied, but spares are needed): Compression Copper Olive 15mm
