Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this adaptor safe for drinking water?

Yes, it is fully WRAS approved, which confirms it is safe for use in systems carrying potable drinking water.

Can I reuse the olive if I disconnect the pipe?

It is generally recommended to replace the olive if you disassemble the joint, as the initial compression deforms it for a specific fit.

Does this require any specialized tools?

No, you only need standard pipe cutters, a deburring tool, and an adjustable wrench to install this compression fitting.

Is this suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, the product is engineered to meet EN 1254 standards, making it capable of handling typical domestic water and heating system pressures.

What is the benefit of the Kite Mark?

The Kite Mark is a certification that guarantees the product has been tested against strict British standards for safety and quality.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure the pipe is cut square and the olive is seated correctly. Tighten the nut slightly more, but do not exceed a full turn beyond hand-tight.

Pipe slides out of the fitting

Verify that the pipe is indeed 22mm in diameter and that the olive has been properly compressed against the pipe surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets strict EN 1254 engineering standards
  • Fully WRAS approved for drinking water
  • High-quality, durable brass construction
  • Kite Mark certified for peace of mind
  • Easy to install with standard plumbing tools

Cons

  • Requires specific pipe sizing accuracy
  • Not intended for non-standard pipe diameters
  • Compression fittings can be sensitive to over-tightening

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the nut and the olive onto the 22mm copper pipe, then insert the pipe fully into the adaptor body. Hand-tighten the nut, followed by approximately one-quarter to one-half turn with an adjustable wrench to compress the olive onto the pipe. Avoid using excessive force, as this can deform the olive or crack the fitting. For the 1" male thread, use a high-quality PTFE tape or sealing compound to ensure a watertight connection to the female receiving component. Periodically inspect the joint for any signs of moisture, though under normal operating conditions, these fittings are maintenance-free once correctly installed.
