FAQs
Are these fittings suitable for gas installations?
Yes, Prima Classic endfeed fittings are manufactured to standard specifications suitable for gas systems, provided they are installed by a qualified professional.
Can I use these with plastic piping?
No, these are endfeed copper fittings designed specifically for use with copper tubing.
Do I need a specific type of solder?
Standard lead-free plumbing solder is recommended for use with these fittings, especially for potable water applications.
Are these fittings reusable?
No, endfeed fittings are designed for a single permanent installation. Once soldered, they must be cut out if the pipe configuration needs to be changed.
What does WRAS approved mean?
It means the product has been tested to ensure it does not cause waste, misuse, or contamination of the water supply, making it safe for drinking water.
Troubleshooting
Solder fails to run into the joint
Ensure the fitting and pipe are sufficiently cleaned of oxidation and that enough flux has been applied to the joint surface.
Visible leaks after cooling
The joint was likely not heated evenly or the pipe moved during the cooling process. Re-heat the joint and add a small amount of extra solder to the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Use a pipe cutter or hacksaw to cut the 15mm copper pipe to length, then use a deburring tool to smooth any sharp edges.
- Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the exterior of the pipe and the interior of the elbow with a wire fitting brush or abrasive cloth to remove oxidation.
- Fluxing: Apply a thin, even coat of soldering flux to the cleaned areas.
- Heating: Assemble the joint and apply heat using a blowtorch, ensuring the heat is directed at the fitting until the solder flows into the joint.
- Maintenance: Once cooled, wipe away excess flux with a damp cloth to prevent potential corrosion of the copper over time. These fittings are compatible with all standard 15mm copper tubing types.
