Primaflow Prima Plus Compression Adaptor - 54mm x 2" Male

This specific adaptor is designed for a 54mm pipe connection on one end and a 2" male thread on the other. Always check the product specifications for precise compatibility.

Yes, due to its WRAS approval and brass construction, it is suitable for both hot and cold potable water systems.

While brass is durable, compression fittings are generally best used in accessible locations for inspection. For underground applications, consider fittings specifically designed for burial, or ensure adequate protection and accessibility.

Compression fittings use a nut and ring (olive) to create a seal without heat, making them suitable for DIY use and situations where soldering is not possible. Soldered fittings require heat to join pipes and fittings, creating a permanent, fused connection.

The pipe end should be perfectly round, smooth, and free of any damage or corrosion. Using a pipe cutter and a deburring tool is essential for a proper seal.

Compression rings are designed to deform and create a seal on the first installation. It is strongly recommended to use a new compression ring for every connection to ensure a reliable and leak-free joint.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been rigorously tested and complies with UK water regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and will not contaminate the supply.

Ensure the pipe was properly prepared (clean, round, no burrs). Verify the compression ring (olive) is correctly positioned and the nut has been adequately tightened with appropriate tools. If the leak persists, the fitting may need to be disassembled, the pipe end re-prepared, and reassembled. Consider replacing the compression ring if it appears damaged.

Check for cross-threading or debris in the threads of the nut and fitting body. Ensure the correct size fitting is being used for the pipe. Lubricating the threads lightly can sometimes help, but avoid excessive lubrication which can affect the seal.

This typically indicates insufficient tightening. Re-apply torque with wrenches, ensuring the fitting body is held stable while the nut is tightened. Make sure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting body before tightening.
