Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 22mm x 1" BSP Male Cylinder Connector is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on domestic or light commercial hot water systems. Designed to provide a secure and rapid interface between 22mm pipework and cylinder ports, this connector excels by eliminating the need for complex soldering or traditional heat-based joining methods. While its push-fit design offers immense installation speed, users must ensure the pipe ends are perfectly deburred and free of scratches to maintain a leak-free seal under high pressure.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for central heating systems?

Yes, the DZR brass construction and temperature ratings make it suitable for standard domestic heating and hot water applications.

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

Yes, but ensure you use the correct pipe insert recommended by the plastic pipe manufacturer to ensure a rigid connection.

Does this require any PTFE tape?

The 1" BSP thread side may require PTFE tape or a liquid sealant to ensure a leak-proof connection to the cylinder port, but the push-fit side relies on its internal O-ring.

Is it possible to reuse the fitting?

While technically possible, it is recommended to use a new fitting if you have to dismantle the connection to guarantee the integrity of the O-ring.

What is DZR brass?

DZR stands for De-zincification Resistant. It is a specialized alloy designed to prevent the leaching of zinc in aggressive water conditions, which prevents the fitting from becoming brittle.

Are these fittings WRAS approved?

Yes, this product is WRAS approved, meaning it is suitable for use in systems connected to the mains water supply.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the pipe connection.

Remove the pipe and inspect the end for scratches or burrs. Ensure the pipe is inserted fully past the internal O-ring.

Difficulty inserting the pipe fully into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe end is chamfered or deburred. Using a tiny amount of silicone grease can assist in seating the O-ring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free installation saves significant time
  • Constructed from high-durability DZR brass
  • Certified by WRAS and KITEMARK for safety
  • Easier to install in tight, restricted spaces
  • Suitable for a wide range of plumbing applications

Cons

  • Requires perfectly deburred pipe ends for a proper seal
  • Not suitable for use with damaged or scored pipes
  • Push-fit connections may be more expensive than compression fittings
  • Removal can be difficult without specific release tools

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these best practices:

  1. Pipe Preparation: Ensure the 22mm copper or plastic pipe is cut square and is completely free from burs, scratches, or paint, as these will compromise the seal.
  2. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until you feel it hit the internal stop; a slight twisting motion can help seat the O-ring.
  3. Compatibility: This fitting is compatible with 22mm standard copper pipe and most common plastic pipe systems (using appropriate inserts). Verify that the cylinder port is a standard 1" BSP male thread.
  4. Care: Avoid using abrasive chemicals on the fitting. Periodically inspect the joint during routine maintenance to check for signs of moisture or weeping, though properly installed fittings should be maintenance-free for years.
