End Feed Obtuse Street Elbow 45° WRAS Approved

The 45 end feed street elbow is a copper plumbing fitting designed to change pipe direction by 45 degrees in confined spaces where a standard elbow and a short pipe offcut simply won’t fit. One end is a plain spigot that pushes directly into another fitting, while the other end accepts standard copper pipe in the conventional end feed manner. That combination is what makes it a street elbow — and it is exactly what you need when you are working tight against a wall or boxing in a run where every millimetre counts.

These fittings carry WRAS approval, which means they have been independently assessed and confirmed as suitable for use in contact with drinking water in the UK. If you are working on domestic hot and cold systems, a combi installation, or any part of a potable water supply, WRAS approval is not a bonus — it is a requirement. These meet that standard without compromise.

Where the 45 End Feed Street Elbow Earns Its Place

End feed fittings are the preferred choice for experienced plumbers and heating engineers on most copper pipework installations. There are no internal O-rings to fail, no push-fit collets to check, and no plastic components that degrade over time. You flux, fit, and solder — and when the joint is done properly, it is done for good. The 45° obtuse angle is particularly useful when routing pipework around obstacles, bringing a pipe out of a wall at an angle, or making a neat offset without introducing unnecessary joints into a run.

The street configuration removes the need for an additional short piece of copper between two fittings, which matters in awkward locations. Behind boilers, inside airing cupboards, under floors, and within concealed service ducts are all places where these fittings regularly earn their keep. Available in 15mm, 22mm, and 28mm, they cover the standard sizes used across residential and light commercial installations.

Sold in Trade Quantities

These fittings are available in boxes of 10 or 25, depending on the size. If you are fitting out a new build, refurbishing a property, or just keeping stock in the van, buying by the box keeps the cost per fitting down and means you are not making a merchant run mid-job because you are one elbow short. That is a situation every plumber has been in at least once, and a box of 25 tends to solve it permanently.

The fittings are manufactured to the dimensional standards expected of end feed copper fittings, ensuring compatibility with standard UK copper tube. Flux and solder are required for installation and are not included — but you already knew that.
