Installation Instructions

1. Cut and Prepare Pipes: Cut 22mm copper pipe ends squarely and remove burrs for a flush fit.

2. Clean Surfaces: Use emery cloth or a wire brush to clean the outside of the pipe and the inside of the elbow.

3. Apply Flux: Apply a thin, even layer of flux to mating surfaces to promote solder flow.

4. Fit the Joint: Insert the pipe ends into both sides of the elbow until fully seated.

5. Apply Heat: Use a propane or MAPP gas torch to apply even heat around the joint. The solder ring will melt and flow into the joint via capillary action.

6. Cool Naturally: Allow the joint to cool without disturbance.

7. Pressure Test: Once cooled, test the system for leaks before putting it into service.

Maintenance & Storage

• Storage: Store in a dry location away from moisture to protect the integrity of the solder ring.

• Handling: Handle with care to avoid deforming the fitting or dislodging solder.

• Cleaning: Ensure pipe and fitting surfaces are properly cleaned before installation to achieve a perfect seal.

• Inspection: Check visible joints periodically for corrosion or stress in high-usage systems.
