Mira Elite QT - replacing elbow

jtscotland

One of the clips on the elbow has snapped causing a leak so have got a replacement elbow and clips

Should I replace the whole elbow or just the broken clip (one clip seems fine so am wary of removing that one as it seems to be tightly fitted)

Should I put some silicon where the elbow slots over the pipe?

Just looking for tips on how to fit it

Thanks

I am interested in this thread.
Looking at my elbow joint the rubber on the right hand side has perished, the clip also seems to be broken.

Where did you get your elbow joint from jt?

Buy a new elbow. Costs around 20 euros if fitting yourself. The replacement ones are black and a better /thicker quality. Even the clips are a little stronger. Replace the elbow & both clips. We would never just replace the clip on its own

If ordering online make sure they have it in stock, otherwise could be a bop it of a wait.
