How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure you have the correct size of pipes (16 mm diameter) and the necessary tools for cutting and joining the pipes.
   • Clean the ends of the pipes to remove any debris, ensuring a smooth connection.
2. Cutting the Pipes:
   • Measure and mark the length of the pipes needed for the installation.
   • Use a pipe cutter or hacksaw to cut the pipes to the desired length. Ensure the cuts are straight and clean.
3. Fitting the Elbow:
   • Apply a suitable pipe adhesive or sealant to the ends of the pipes (if using plastic or copper pipes).
   • Insert the ends of the pipes into the openings of the 16 mm pipe elbow.
   • Ensure the pipes are fully inserted and seated within the elbow fitting.
4. Securing the Connection:
   • For compression fittings, tighten the compression nuts using a wrench to secure the connection.
   • For soldered connections (if using copper pipes), heat the joint with a propane torch and apply solder to create a secure bond.
   • For push-fit fittings, simply push the pipes into the elbow until they click into place, ensuring a tight fit.
5. Testing the Connection:
   • Once the elbow is securely fitted, turn on the water supply or system pressure to check for leaks.
   • Inspect the joint for any signs of leakage. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections or reapply sealant as needed.
6. Regular Maintenance:
   • Periodically inspect the elbow and surrounding piping for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.
   • Replace the elbow if any damage or significant wear is detected to maintain system integrity.
