FAQs
What does WRAS Approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product has been rigorously tested and meets the high standards set by UK water regulations for products used in contact with drinking water, ensuring it is safe and does not waste water.
What is the maximum working pressure for this fitting?
This fitting is designed to withstand working pressures up to 16 bar.
Can this fitting be used for potable water?
Yes, the WRAS approval indicates it is suitable for use with potable (drinking) water systems.
What type of pipe does this adaptor connect to?
It is designed to connect to 25mm metric pipes, commonly polyethylene (PE) pipes used in plumbing and irrigation.
How do I ensure a leak-free seal?
Ensure the 25mm pipe end is clean, cut squarely, and inserted fully into the fitting before tightening the compression nut securely. Check the o-ring for damage.
Is this fitting suitable for underground use?
Yes, constructed from durable, UV-stabilised material, it is suitable for outdoor and underground applications where it is protected from direct sunlight degradation.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, a pipe cutter (for a clean pipe end) and a wrench to tighten the compression nut are sufficient. Hand-tightening followed by a 1 to 1.5 wrench turn is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the compression joint
Ensure the pipe is cut squarely, fully inserted, and the compression nut is tightened correctly. Check for damage to the pipe or o-ring.
Leak at the 1" threaded connection
Verify the threads are clean and compatible. Ensure a suitable thread sealant tape (PTFE tape) is used and the connection is adequately tightened.
Fitting appears loose on the pipe
Re-evaluate the pipe end preparation and ensure it is clean, smooth, and fully inserted before tightening the compression nut.
Fitting is difficult to install
Confirm you are using the correct size pipe (25mm). Ensure the pipe end is not deformed. Lubricating the o-ring with a small amount of water can help insertion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Ensures safe and compliant water connections with WRAS approval.
Provides a robust, long-lasting seal resistant to leaks even under pressure.
Built with UV-stabilised materials for extended outdoor lifespan.
Simplifies plumbing by allowing easy conversion between pipe and thread sizes.
Quick and easy compression joint installation.
Cons
Requires clean and properly prepared pipe ends for optimal sealing.
Limited to converting 25mm pipe to 1" threaded fittings; not universally adaptable.
Primarily designed for compression fittings; may not be suitable for solvent weld systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Ensure the 25mm pipe is cut cleanly and squarely. Remove any burrs from the end of the pipe.
Slide the compression nut and then the olive onto the 25mm pipe.
Insert the 1" threaded fitting end of the adaptor into the 25mm pipe, pushing it in firmly until it stops.
Tighten the compression nut onto the body of the adaptor by hand, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1 to 1.5 turns. Do not overtighten.
Screw the 1" threaded connection onto the corresponding fitting.
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard 25mm metric pipes (e.g., PE pipe).
Designed to connect to standard 1" BSP male threaded fittings.
Suitable for cold and hot water applications within pressure and temperature limits.
Care:
Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, especially after initial installation or significant system pressure changes.
Clean the exterior of the fitting with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the pipe is properly seated within the fitting during installation to prevent leaks.
