Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 22mm x 3/4" BSP Tap Swivel Union Connector is an ideal solution for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic or light commercial plumbing projects. It offers the key benefit of rapid, reliable installation through its advanced push-fit technology, significantly reducing labor time compared to traditional soldering. While it is highly resilient and WRAS-approved, users should note that the white plastic construction, while aesthetically clean, is primarily designed for standard water distribution systems and may not be suitable for high-exposure environments where metallic industrial fittings are required.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this connector compatible with copper and plastic pipe?

Yes, it is designed for use in standard plumbing systems; however, ensure the pipe outer diameter is exactly 22mm.

Does this require any special tools to install?

No, it is a push-fit design, though a pipe cutter is recommended for a square, clean cut.

Is it suitable for central heating systems?

Yes, the product is engineered to handle higher temperatures and pressures beyond normal operating ranges.

Can this be reused after being installed?

While the fitting is secure for long-term use, it is generally best practice to use a new fitting if you disconnect a permanent installation to ensure seal integrity.

What does WRAS approval mean?

WRAS stands for Water Regulations Advisory Scheme, meaning this product has been tested to ensure it does not contaminate water supplies.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the push-fit connection.

Remove the pipe, inspect for burrs or scratches on the surface, ensure it is cut square, and re-insert firmly.

The swivel nut is difficult to tighten onto the tap.

Ensure the washer is correctly seated inside the swivel union and that the threads are aligned perfectly to avoid cross-threading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a secure installation, follow these guidelines:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Ensure the 22mm pipe end is cut square and is free from burrs or sharp edges that could damage the internal seals.
  2. Cleanliness: Wipe the pipe end with a soft cloth to remove dirt, grease, or debris before insertion.
  3. Insertion: Firmly push the pipe into the fitting until you feel it seat against the internal stop.
  4. Testing: Always perform a pressure test of the system before closing up any wall cavities or flooring.
  5. Maintenance: While the unit is durable, periodically check for signs of calcification if in a hard water area and ensure the swivel union remains free of external debris.
