FAQs

What is the primary function of this reducer?

What material is the reducer made of?

It is made of dezincification-resistant material.

What type of fittings are compatible?

It is designed for use with compression fittings.

How do I install the reducer?

Insert the 28mm pipe into one end and the 22mm pipe into the other. Use compression fittings and tighten the nuts appropriately.

What should I do if the connection leaks?

Check the tightness of the compression nuts. If the leakage persists, disassemble, inspect, and reassemble the joint.

Is this reducer suitable for all plumbing applications?

It's suitable for various applications, but always ensure compatibility with the specific plumbing system and pipe materials.

Can I use this reducer with different pipe materials?

The reducer is compatible with pipes that are designed for compression fittings, but always ensure compatibility with the specific pipe materials used in your plumbing system.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection.

Check if the compression nuts are tightened properly. If the leakage persists, slightly tighten the nut again. If this fails, disassemble the joint, inspect the olive for damage, and reassemble the joint, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned.

Difficulty in tightening the compression fitting.

Ensure the pipe is inserted fully into the reducer and that the olive is correctly positioned. Apply a small amount of pipe lubricant to the olive to help it slide more easily.

Corrosion or degradation of the fitting.

Inspect the fitting regularly. If corrosion is evident, it might indicate a problem with water quality or the fitting material. Consider replacing the fitting if the corrosion is severe.
