FAQs
What type of thread does this fitting use?
This fitting uses 3/4 inch female BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads.
What materials is the tee made from?
The tee is made from nickel-plated brass (CW617N).
What is the maximum temperature and pressure rating?
The maximum temperature rating is +100 deg C, and the maximum pressure rating is 1.0 MPa (10 bar).
Can this fitting be used for gas lines?
No, this fitting is specifically designed for water and heating systems and should not be used for gas lines.
How should I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
What is the benefit of the nickel plating?
Nickel plating provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion and enhances the durability and appearance of the brass fitting.
Is this fitting suitable for outdoor use?
While the chrome plating offers protection, it's best suited for internal water and heating systems. Prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect its finish over time.
Troubleshooting
Leak at connection
Ensure male threads are properly sealed with PTFE tape or sealant. Check that the fitting is securely tightened but not over-tightened. Verify that both the male and female threads are clean and undamaged.
Fitting does not screw on smoothly
Check for cross-threading by ensuring the initial turns are easy. Confirm that both the male and female threads are BSP compatible and clean. Inspect for any damage or debris on the threads.
Corrosion or discoloration
While nickel-plated brass is resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or very aggressive water may cause discoloration. Ensure the system uses water within expected parameters for domestic heating and water. Clean gently with a soft cloth.
