FAQs

Do I need to use flux with these fittings?

No, the Prima Plus Solder Ring fittings come with integrated solder, so no additional flux or solder is required for installation.

Can I use these fittings for gas lines?

Yes, Prima Plus Solder Ring fittings are suitable for both water and gas installations and are WRAS approved.

What standards do these fittings meet?

They are manufactured to EN 1254 standard, are WRAS approved for drinking water, and have BS British Standard Kite Mark approval.

How do I ensure a strong joint?

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and fully inserted. Apply heat evenly to the fitting, allowing the integrated solder to melt and flow. Remove heat once the solder has fully circulated the joint.

What is the difference between this and a standard fitting?

The key difference is the integrated solder ring, which eliminates the need for manual application of flux and solder, saving time and effort during installation.

Are these fittings suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, when installed correctly, the copper construction and soldered joint provide a robust connection suitable for standard domestic water and gas pressures.

Troubleshooting

Solder not flowing / incomplete joint

Ensure the pipe and fitting were adequately cleaned. Increase heat application slightly and ensure it's applied evenly around the fitting. Make sure the pipe is fully inserted.

Excessive solder leakage

Reduce the heat application time or intensity. Ensure the pipe is fully seated within the fitting before heating.

Fitting discolored before installation

Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Light oxidation is normal for copper, but if significantly discolored, ensure the solder ring is intact and not compromised. Clean pipe ends thoroughly before attempting to solder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time due to integrated solder.
  • Ensures a high-quality, reliable joint with integrated solder.
  • Complies with stringent British Standards (BS) and WRAS approval for safe water use.
  • Durable construction from premium copper.
  • Versatile for both water and gas applications.

Cons

  • Requires careful heat control during soldering to ensure proper flow of integrated solder.
  • May be more expensive upfront compared to standard fittings without integrated solder.
  • Solder ring may be damaged if not handled carefully before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe ends to be joined are clean and free from any debris or oxidation. For copper pipes, a light reaming of the cut edge is recommended.
  2. Ensure the fitting's internal surfaces are also clean.
  3. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting socket.
  4. Apply heat evenly to the fitting using a propane torch, focusing on the area where the solder ring is located. Avoid heating the pipe directly excessively.
  5. As the fitting heats up, the integrated solder will melt and flow into the gap between the pipe and the fitting, creating a seal.
  6. Remove heat once the solder has flowed completely around the joint. A small amount of solder may weep from the end if too much heat was applied; this is normal.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with copper pipe systems.
  • Suitable for both hot and cold water applications.
  • Approved for use in gas installations.
  • Manufactured to EN 1254 standard.

Care:

  • Store fittings in a dry environment to prevent oxidation of the copper.
  • Avoid bending or applying excessive force to the fittings before installation.
  • Clean fittings with a dry cloth before use; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the solder ring.
