Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Tap Swivel Union Connector is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers looking to streamline domestic pipework connections without the complexity of traditional soldering. This connector offers a reliable, tool-free installation for 10mm pipe systems, providing high resistance to pressure and temperature for long-term durability. While it is perfect for most domestic and light commercial applications, users should ensure their existing pipework is compatible with push-fit standards before installation to guarantee a watertight seal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this fitting require pipe inserts?

Yes, when using plastic pipe, it is standard practice to use a pipe insert to maintain the pipe's shape and ensure a secure seal.

Is this product safe for drinking water?

Yes, as the product is WRAS approved, it is suitable for use in systems conveying water for domestic use.

Can I remove and reuse the connector?

While the connector is designed for a secure, permanent fit, it can be disconnected by releasing the collet, provided the internal O-ring and teeth are not damaged.

What is the maximum temperature it can handle?

The connector is designed to withstand temperatures exceeding normal domestic hot water operational ranges; check the specific data sheet for exact degrees.

Can I use this on copper pipe?

Yes, this push-fit connector is compatible with copper pipe, provided the pipe is clean, round, and free of deep scratches or burrs.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the push-fit connection.

Remove the pipe, check that it is cut squarely without burrs, and ensure the pipe is inserted fully past the O-ring.

The swivel nut will not tighten onto the tap.

Check that the 1/2 inch BSP thread is aligned correctly and not cross-threaded; ensure a rubber washer is seated between the tap tail and the connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No soldering or open flames required for installation
  • Highly durable against high pressure and temperature
  • Clean white finish for a professional look
  • Certified for UK safety standards (WRAS/KITEMARK)
  • Swivel action makes fitting taps easier in tight spaces

Cons

  • Not suitable for use with certain metallic pipe types without specific inserts
  • Requires proper pipe preparation to ensure a secure push-fit seal
  • Limited to 10mm pipe diameter

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the 10mm pipe end is cut square and is free of burrs or scratches. Any damage to the pipe surface can prevent the internal O-ring from creating a proper seal.
  2. Installation: Simply push the pipe firmly into the fitting until you feel it seat against the internal stop. Ensure the 1/2 inch BSP side is connected to the tap using a suitable washer if required.
  3. Compatibility: This connector is specifically for 10mm domestic piping. Always verify that your pipe is compatible with plastic push-fit systems.
  4. Care: Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners directly on the connector housing. If you need to disassemble the connection, ensure the system pressure is fully relieved before attempting to remove the fitting.
