Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Endfeed Bent Tap Connector is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection for water and gas systems. Its primary benefit is its high-quality construction which meets strict EN 1254 and kite-marked British standards, ensuring a secure, leak-proof joint for drinking water applications. The main caveat users should note is the measurement discrepancy common in plumbing, where the 3/4 inch BSP thread actually measures 1 inch in outer diameter due to standard industry naming conventions.

FAQs

Is this connector suitable for gas pipes?

Yes, this copper fitting is suitable for gas systems, but all work must be performed by a qualified professional in compliance with local gas safety regulations.

Why does the 3/4 inch thread measure 1 inch?

This is standard for BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, which are named by the bore size rather than the outer diameter; therefore, a 3/4 inch thread actually measures 1 inch externally.

Do I need special tools for this fitting?

You will need a tube cutter, deburring tool, cleaning brush/wire wool, flux, lead-free solder, and a heat source (blowtorch) for the endfeed side.

Can this be used on plastic pipes?

No, this is an endfeed copper fitting intended for use specifically with copper pipes. Do not use this with PEX or other plastic piping materials.

What does WRAS approved mean?

It means the product has been tested and approved to meet the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, ensuring it will not cause contamination to drinking water.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaking after soldering

Clean the area, ensure the pipe was properly deburred, and re-heat to allow solder to penetrate fully, or apply more flux and solder.

Threaded connection leaking

Unscrew the fitting, inspect the washer/seat for debris, apply fresh PTFE tape, and ensure it is tightened sufficiently without overtightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality copper construction for longevity
  • WRAS approved for safe drinking water use
  • Meets strict EN 1254 and BSI Kite Mark standards
  • Compact bent design for restricted installation areas

Cons

  • Requires soldering expertise for proper endfeed installation
  • BSP thread measurement logic can be confusing for beginners
  • Copper can be subject to price fluctuations compared to plastic alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this connector, ensure the 15mm copper pipe is cut squarely and the end is deburred to prevent leaks. Clean both the pipe and the connector socket thoroughly using wire wool or a fitting brush to remove oxidation. Apply a suitable flux to the pipe end before inserting it into the fitting. Heat the joint evenly with a blowtorch, applying lead-free solder until it flows into the joint. For the threaded 3/4 inch connection, always remember the thread diameter measures 1 inch; use high-quality PTFE tape or a dedicated jointing compound on the threads to ensure a watertight seal. Inspect the joint under pressure before enclosing it within walls or cabinetry.
