FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

Yes, the Prima Plus DZR coupling is rated for gas applications, provided the installation is performed by a qualified engineer.

Do I need to use PTFE tape?

Generally, compression fittings do not require PTFE tape on the olives. The mechanical seal between the olive and the pipe is sufficient if the surfaces are clean.

Can I reuse this fitting?

While the body can be reused, it is highly recommended to use a new olive every time you break and remake a connection to ensure a leak-proof seal.

Is this safe for drinking water?

Yes, it is WRAS approved, meaning it is certified safe for use in contact with potable (drinking) water.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a pipe cutter or hacksaw, a deburring tool (or file), and two adjustable spanners to tighten the nuts.

Is it made in the UK?

Yes, all Prima Plus components are manufactured in Britain to EN 1254 standards.

Troubleshooting

Joint is weeping or leaking

Ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred. Tighten the nut by another quarter to half turn, being careful not to overtighten.

Nut will not tighten properly

Check that the threads are free from debris or paint; if the olive is damaged or deformed, replace both the olive and nut.

Pipe slides out of the fitting

The pipe may not be inserted deep enough into the coupling body. Remove, check for burrs, and re-insert until it bottoms out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade DZR brass prevents dezincification over time
  • Suitable for both potable water and gas applications
  • Compliant with EN 1254 and BSI Kitemark standards
  • WRAS approval provides peace of mind for drinking water safety
  • Requires no soldering or specialized heat tools for installation

Cons

  • Requires proper tightening to avoid compression ring failure
  • Not suitable for use with certain plastic pipe types without compatible inserts
  • Bulkier than soldered fittings
  • Overtightening may deform the olive and cause leaks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the copper pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and free from dirt or paint. Slide the nut and the olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body, and tighten the nut by hand before finishing with a spanner. For gas applications, always check with an industry-certified professional to ensure compliance with local safety regulations. While the fitting is maintenance-free once correctly installed, it is recommended to periodically inspect joints for any signs of surface oxidation or weeping. Avoid using chemical pipe dopes or excessive thread sealant as they are generally unnecessary with properly seated compression olives.
