Yes, Primaflow Prima Plus olives are suitable for use in both gas and water systems.
No, once an olive has been compressed, it becomes deformed and will not create a reliable seal if used again.
Yes, they are fully WRAS approved, meaning they are compliant for use in potable (drinking) water systems.
These olives are specifically designed for 6mm copper pipe.
While these are designed to create a metal-to-metal seal, a small amount of pipe jointing compound is often used by professionals as an extra precaution against leaks.
The Kite mark is a symbol of quality and safety, guaranteeing the product meets established British standards for reliability.
Ensure the pipe end is free of deep scratches or burrs and the pipe is cut perfectly square.
Check the pipe for signs of deformation at the end or clear any paint/debris; verify the pipe diameter is exactly 6mm.
Ensure the threads are aligned correctly to prevent cross-threading; apply a small amount of plumbers' lubricant if necessary.
To install, ensure the copper pipe end is cut square and is free from burrs or scratches, as surface irregularities can prevent a proper seal. Slide the nut onto the pipe followed by the olive. When tightening the compression fitting, use two spanners: one to hold the body of the fitting steady and the other to tighten the nut. Avoid overtightening, as this can deform the olive or damage the pipe threads. These olives are designed specifically for 6mm copper piping and should not be used with mismatched diameters. Always inspect the joint for leaks after installation and re-tighten slightly if necessary. Store in a dry environment to prevent oxidation prior to use.
