Product Information
Full details
The Plumbright 15mm Tank Connector (ATC66M) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, quick-installation solution for sealing cisterns and tanks. Its primary benefit is the push-fit mechanism that significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional brass compression fittings, though it is specifically optimized for 15mm pipework and may not be compatible with non-standard pipe dimensions.

FAQs
Can I use this with copper pipes?
Yes, this connector is compatible with standard 15mm copper piping as well as plastic pipe.
Does it require Teflon tape?
Generally, no. The internal O-ring seal is designed to create a watertight connection without additional thread tape.
Is this suitable for hot water systems?
While it is resistant to temperature variations, please consult the specific temperature ratings for the connector before installing it on high-temperature hot water lines.
Can the fitting be reused?
Push-fit fittings are generally intended for permanent installation. Removing them can often damage the internal collet and sealing O-rings.
What is the primary material of the connector?
The fitting is constructed from high-quality, durable plumbing-grade plastic.
Troubleshooting
The pipe does not seem to insert fully
Check the end of the pipe for burrs or sharp edges from the cutting process; ensure the pipe is perfectly round and not deformed.
Slow drip around the connector base
Verify that the tank surface is flat and the gasket is properly compressed; tighten the locking nut further if possible, or reseat the connector.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster to install than traditional brass fittings
- High structural integrity with burst and pressure resistance
- Meets industry-standard safety certifications (WRAS/KITEMARK)
- Clean, unobtrusive aesthetic
Cons
- Limited to 15mm pipe diameter only
- Push-fit connections can be difficult to remove once locked
- Plastic construction may be less robust than heavy-duty brass in extreme industrial environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a secure installation, ensure your 15mm pipe is cut cleanly with a pipe cutter to avoid burrs that could damage the internal seals. Push the pipe firmly into the connector until it hits the internal stop. This fitting is designed for use with standard 15mm plastic or copper pipe. For maintenance, periodically inspect the seal area for signs of calcification or mineral buildup, especially in hard water regions. Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants or harsh chemical sealants on the internal components, as these can degrade the rubber O-rings over time.
