Connecting electric shower

[notaclue]

I am fitting a Triton Inscriptions electric shower unit, have a 15mm copper straight pipe out of wall & the shower unit has a 15mm plastic straight inlet pipe.
I need a 90 degree connector to join them, is there anything special I should use or avoid? 😕

Thanks

No compound as this will ruin your guarantee, And isolate. Follow MI to the letter. Are you sure you can do this??? As your name suggests, messing around with electric showers is dangerous if you don't know what your doing.

The new 10mm cabling is not yet live, the electrician will be doing that after I have sorted the water connection!
Any suggestions for the fitting??????

Compression elbow and small amount of ptfe tape.

an ordinary compression will do it, dont overtighten tho/
or use a push fit.

Then what is the problem you can easily get "L" type elbow otherwise u can buy 15mm flexible pipe.

Make sure you get the compression fitting well onto the plastic shower end, as you wont be able to get to the olive off with olive cutters or a hack saw. as the others have said undertighten and nip up rather than overtighten and have nowhere to go.
