FAQs

Is this fitting compatible with copper pipe?

Yes, it is designed for use with standard 15mm copper pipe as well as most plastic pipe systems.

Can this be used for central heating systems?

Yes, the fitting is rated for high temperatures, making it suitable for both hot water and standard heating pipework.

Do I need to use PTFE tape on the push-fit side?

No, you should never use PTFE tape on the push-fit side. The internal O-ring provides the seal.

Is the swivel joint meant to rotate after installation?

The swivel is intended to facilitate alignment during installation. Once tightened, it should remain static.

Is it safe for drinking water?

Yes, the product is WRAS approved, which confirms it is safe for use with potable water systems.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks at the pipe entry point

Remove the pipe, check that the pipe end is smooth and burr-free, and re-insert ensuring it is pushed fully home.

The brass nut is difficult to start threading

Ensure the tap tail is aligned straight with the union. Do not force the nut if it feels cross-threaded; back it off and restart.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly faster installation times compared to copper soldering
Swivel action simplifies alignment of tap tails in cramped cupboards
WRAS and KITEMARK certification ensures suitability for drinking water
Excellent resistance to thermal expansion and high-pressure water flow

Cons

Not suitable for use with stainless steel pipework
Requires proper pipe preparation to prevent O-ring damage
Higher unit cost compared to traditional fixed brass elbows

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these best practices:

Pipe Preparation: Ensure the 15mm pipe is cut square and is free from burrs or sharp edges using a deburring tool.
Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until you feel it pass the internal O-ring seal.
Tightening: Hand-tighten the 3/4" brass nut onto the tap tail; use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn if necessary, but avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the internal seal.
Care: Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the fitting body. Periodically check connections for signs of moisture after the first week of use to ensure the seat has settled properly.
