FAQs

What tools do I need to install the Plumbright Compression Coupler?

You'll need a pipe cutter, a deburring tool (to remove any sharp edges from the pipe), and the correct size wrench for tightening the compression nut.

Can I use this fitting on plastic pipes?

No, this compression coupler is designed for use with 22mm copper pipes only. Using it on plastic pipes is not recommended.

Do I need to use any sealant with the fitting?

What is the maximum pressure this fitting can handle?

Can I reuse the olive?

It is generally recommended to use a new olive each time you install the fitting to ensure a secure seal. Removing and re-using an olive may compromise the seal.

The product comes with a 5-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the compression fitting

Tighten the compression nut further, ensuring it is not overtightened. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, check the olive for damage, and replace if necessary. Ensure the pipe is properly inserted and aligned.

Difficulty in tightening the nut

Ensure the pipe is properly aligned and inserted into the fitting. Use the correct size wrench and apply even pressure. Consider using a pipe lubricant to ease the process.

Corrosion on the fitting

Replace the fitting immediately. Corrosion can compromise the integrity of the fitting and lead to leaks. Ensure the water quality meets the plumbing requirements.

  3. Connection: Insert the pipe into the fitting, ensuring it goes all the way in.
