FAQs
Is this fitting suitable for use with plastic pipe?
This fitting is primarily designed for 28mm copper pipe. If using plastic pipe, ensure you use the correct manufacturer-specified pipe inserts.
Can I reuse this fitting?
While the fitting is robust, it is generally recommended to use new fittings for critical connections to guarantee the integrity of the O-ring seal.
Does this adaptor come with a sealing washer for the BSP thread?
The male BSP thread is designed to be sealed using appropriate jointing compound or PTFE tape, depending on the mating female port requirements.
Is this product safe for drinking water?
Yes, it is WRAS approved, meaning it is certified as safe for use with potable water systems.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The fitting is rated for standard domestic hot water temperatures; please consult the specific product data sheet for exact maximum temperature thresholds.
Do I need a special tool to install it?
No special tools are required for installation. However, a de-burring tool is highly recommended for proper pipe preparation.
Troubleshooting
Joint is leaking after installation
Ensure the pipe end is not scratched and was fully deburred. Remove the pipe, inspect the internal O-ring for debris or damage, and re-insert ensuring it hits the depth stop.
Pipe will not insert fully
Check that the pipe is perfectly round and free of dents. Ensure the depth stop inside the fitting is clear of obstruction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Cut the 28mm pipe squarely using a pipe cutter. Use a file or de-burring tool to remove all sharp edges and burrs from the pipe end, as these can damage the internal O-ring.
Marking: Mark the pipe to the correct insertion depth (typically indicated on the fitting packaging) to ensure the pipe is fully seated.
Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the adaptor until you feel it hit the internal stop.
Testing: Always perform a system pressure test before fully commissioning the plumbing line.
Care: Avoid using abrasive chemicals on the brass exterior. If the connection needs to be disconnected, use the manufacturer-recommended release tool to avoid damaging the internal gripping teeth.
