This Plumbright Compression Internal Reducer is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts looking for a fast and reliable way to connect pipes in hot and cold water systems. Its key benefit is the speedy, flame-free installation using compression fittings, eliminating the need for soldering. A potential consideration is ensuring the correct pipe sizes (22mm to 15mm) for compatibility. Key features include dezincification resistance and compliance with BSEN1254: Part 1 standards, ensuring durability and safety.

Dezincification resistance means the fitting is made from materials that are less prone to the leaching of zinc when exposed to certain water conditions. This ensures the fitting's structural integrity and longevity.
No, this fitting is specifically designed and approved for use in hot and cold water systems only.
You will need two wrenches (e.g., adjustable wrenches or pipe wrenches) to tighten the compression nuts. Ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly, which may require a pipe cutter.
After hand-tightening, use wrenches to tighten the nut on the larger pipe (22mm) first, then the smaller pipe (15mm). A common guideline is an additional quarter to half turn past hand-tight. Refer to specific manufacturer instructions if available, as overtightening can damage the fitting or pipe.
This fitting is suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water systems, complying with BSEN1254: Part 1. Specific maximum temperature and pressure ratings should be checked against the product's official datasheet or packaging if critical for your application.
It is generally recommended to use a new olive for each installation to ensure a reliable seal. Reusing an olive may lead to a poor seal and potential leaks.
The Plumbright Compression Internal Reducer comes with a 3-year product guarantee from the manufacturer.
Ensure the pipe ends are clean and properly inserted. Re-tighten the compression nut slightly (typically a quarter to half turn past hand-tight). If the leak persists, the olive may not have sealed correctly; consider removing the fitting, inspecting the olive and pipe end, and re-installing.
Verify that the pipe is the correct size (22mm or 15mm) and is cut squarely and cleanly. Ensure there are no burrs or obstructions inside the pipe end or within the fitting.
Check that the correct size compression nut and olive are being used for each pipe. Ensure the threads on the fitting are not damaged. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads or damage the fitting.
