FAQs

What tools do I need to install the Primaflow coupler?

You will need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, and a wrench or spanner of the appropriate size to tighten the compression fitting.

Can I use the Primaflow coupler with plastic pipes?

No, the Primaflow Lead to Copper Coupler is designed for use with lead and copper pipes only.

How do I know if the fitting is tight enough?

Tighten the fitting until it is snug and leak-proof. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the fitting. Refer to the manufacturer's torque specifications.

What should I do if the fitting is leaking?

Try tightening the fitting. If the leak persists, disassemble the joint, check for damage, and reassemble with new fittings if needed.

Is the Primaflow coupler suitable for high-pressure systems?

How often should I inspect the fitting?

What is DZR brass?

DZR brass is a type of brass that is resistant to dezincification, a form of corrosion that can weaken brass fittings.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts, such as compression olives, can be purchased from most plumbing supply stores or online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the joint

Tighten the compression fitting. If the leak persists, disassemble the joint, check the pipe ends for damage, and reassemble with new fittings if necessary.

Difficulty in tightening the fitting

Ensure the pipe ends are properly aligned and inserted into the coupler. Use the correct tools to apply sufficient torque, but avoid over-tightening.

Replace the fitting immediately to prevent further damage to the plumbing system. Ensure the fitting is compatible with the water chemistry to prevent future corrosion.
