Usage Instructions

The Securplumb Solder Ring Elbow 15mm is designed for straightforward and efficient installation:

1. Prepare the Pipe: Cut the copper pipe to length using a pipe cutter, ensuring a clean, square cut.

2. Clean the Pipe Ends: Use emery cloth or a wire brush to remove oxidation and dirt from the pipe ends and inside the elbow fitting.

3. Fit the Elbow: Slide the solder ring elbow onto the pipe end, ensuring the joint fits snugly and correctly aligned at a 90-degree angle.

4. Heat the Joint: Use a propane or MAPP gas torch to evenly heat the fitting and pipe until the solder ring melts and flows into the joint.

5. Cool and Inspect: Allow the joint to cool naturally and inspect for any gaps or imperfections to ensure a leak-free seal.

6. Test: After installation, test the system for leaks by turning on the water supply and observing the joint under pressure.

Care and Maintenance

• Storage: Keep unused elbows in a dry, clean environment to prevent oxidation before use.

• Handling: Avoid dropping or deforming the fittings to maintain their shape and integrity for effective soldering.

• Inspection: Check installed joints periodically for signs of corrosion or leaks, particularly in older plumbing systems.

• Replacement: If leaks or damage occur, cut out the faulty elbow and replace with a new Securplumb solder ring elbow to restore system reliability.
