This 10mm x 3/8" BSP compression connector set is designed for professional plumbers and dedicated DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, leak-free transition between 10mm piping and 3/8" BSP threaded female ports. Offering a robust brass construction that ensures a secure, pressure-resistant seal, this four-pack provides an efficient solution for upgrading or repairing standard pipework; however, it is essential to ensure that the pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred before installation to prevent potential sealing failures.

These connectors are primarily designed for water plumbing applications. Always consult local building codes and professional safety guidelines before using components in gas line installations.
Yes, but you must use a standard internal pipe insert (stiffener) inside the plastic pipe to ensure the compression nut has a rigid surface to grip against.
Generally, compression joints rely on the olive for the seal, so tape is not required on the threads. You may use a small amount of jointing compound if desired, but it is not mandatory.
They are designed for standard domestic water pressure levels. They are not intended for use in high-pressure commercial or industrial settings.
It is highly recommended to replace the olive whenever a connection is broken and re-made to ensure a reliable, leak-free seal.
Loosen the nut, check that the pipe is cut straight, and ensure the olive is seated correctly. Tighten slightly more, but do not overtighten.
Check the pipe for burrs or deformation. If the pipe is bent or oval-shaped, use a pipe sizing tool or deburring tool to return it to a perfect circle.
Ensure the threads are aligned correctly. If resistance is high, back the nut off and re-thread to avoid stripping the brass threads.
To install, first ensure your 10mm copper or plastic pipe is cut square and is free of any burrs or rough edges. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, then insert the pipe into the connector body until it seats firmly against the inner shoulder. Tighten the nut by hand initially, followed by approximately 3/4 of a turn with a wrench to achieve the final seal. For care, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the exterior, as these can degrade the brass finish. Regularly inspect connections for any signs of weeping or moisture, especially after initial installation or extreme temperature fluctuations.
