The Compression Elbow Fittings collection at PlumbHQ is built for those who value direct, reliable connections where a change in pipe direction is needed without fuss. This range focuses on high-quality 90-degree brass compression elbows, in both equal and reducing sizes, brass and chrome, WRAS approved, and manufactured to meet the strict standards expected by professional plumbers, contractors, and DIYers alike.
Specialist Compression Elbow Fittings for Demanding Environments
Compression elbow fittings provide a no-heat, mechanical joint, giving you a robust watertight seal when you need to change pipe direction. The fittings in this collection include equal elbows for same-size pipework and reducing elbows for transitions between different pipe diameters. Whether you’re handling water or gas applications, these components deliver reliability with a straightforward installation process. Common styles like wallplate elbows are also available, keeping every installation need covered.
What Sets Compression Elbows Apart
All fittings in the collection are built from either standard brass or DZR (dezincification resistant) brass, ensuring resistance to corrosion and long-term performance even in challenging water conditions. Designed for systems working up to 16 bar at 110°C, each fitting handles central heating, potable water, and low-pressure gas duties with strength. With a maximum pressure rating of PN16, these elbows suit commercial, domestic, and light industrial use without compromise.
Wide Application Range
Compression elbows are suitable for both copper and plastic pipes (when the correct inserts are used), supporting common UK plumbing sizes from 6mm to 54mm, with a range of imperial adaptors. The mechanical compression design makes them ideal for maintenance jobs - easy to install, demount, and reassemble without special tools or heat. This makes them as practical for small fixes and plumbing tweaks as they are in a full-scale refit.
Materials, Approvals, and Compatibility
PlumbHQ only offers elbows made to recognised standards: BS EN 1254-2 for fittings and BS EN 1057 for copper piping. Every fitting in this range is WRAS approved, signalling full compliance with UK water regulations. As a result, they give peace of mind in potable water applications as well as broader heating and fuel line tasks. Brass and DZR brass construction maximises durability in aggressive or varied water supplies and holds up to routine commercial use.
System Matching and Pack Options
Each elbow in this collection is a true compression fitting - nuts, olives, and fitting bodies are engineered for ease of use and solid connections. You’ll find options in both traditional brass and chrome finishes, so you can match exposed pipework or keep everything hidden behind the scenes. Pack sizes range from singles for a quick fix, through to bulk options for bigger installs, staying flexible for any job scale.
