FAQs

What size pipe does this adaptor fit?

The Plumbright Endfeed Cylinder Union Adaptor fits 22mm copper pipe.

What type of system is this adaptor designed for?

This adaptor is designed for use with end-feed plumbing systems.

How do I solder the joint?

Clean the pipe and fitting, apply flux, heat the joint with a torch, and apply solder until it flows evenly around the fitting. Allow to cool completely.

Can I use this adaptor with other brands of fittings?

While the adaptor is designed for the end-feed range, it should be compatible with standard 22mm copper pipe fittings from other brands.

What should I do if the joint leaks?

Shut off the water supply, re-solder the joint, and check for any obstructions or improper fitting of the components. If you are not comfortable doing so, consult a qualified plumber.

Is any special tool required for installation?

You will need a pipe cutter, flux, solder, and a blowtorch for soldering. Ensure you have all the necessary safety equipment.

How long should the solder joint take to cool?

Allow the solder joint to cool completely before applying any pressure to the system, usually a few minutes.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Check the soldering. Re-solder the joint, ensuring the solder has flowed completely around the fitting. Ensure you have cleaned the pipe and fitting before soldering.

Adaptor doesn't fit properly.

Ensure you are using the correct size pipe (22mm). Check for any obstructions in the pipe or the fitting. Make sure the pipe is cut cleanly and squarely.

Replace the adaptor. Corrosion indicates a potential failure point. Check the water chemistry and consider installing a corrosion inhibitor.
