Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 22mm x 3/4 inch BSPT Male Connector is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, fast-installation solution for modern heating and water systems. Its primary benefit is the push-fit mechanism that drastically reduces installation time compared to traditional soldered or compression fittings, though users should note it is specifically engineered for compatible plastic pipe systems and requires precise pipe preparation to ensure a permanent, leak-free seal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for use with copper pipe?

This connector is optimized for plastic plumbing systems; always verify your specific pipe manufacturer's compatibility and use a suitable stiffener/insert if required for metal pipes.

Can I use this for gas lines?

No. This product is engineered specifically for heating and water systems and is not rated for gas installations.

Do I need to use PTFE tape on the thread?

Yes, standard plumbing practice for the BSPT threaded end requires PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant to ensure a watertight seal at the thread interface.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The product is designed to handle pressures and temperatures beyond standard domestic operational ranges, providing a high safety margin for professional use.

Is the connector reusable?

These fittings are designed as permanent, tamper-resistant connections. Once the pipe is fully inserted and locked, it is not recommended to disassemble and reuse the fitting.

Troubleshooting

Leakage immediately after connection

Ensure the pipe was cut perfectly square and deburred completely. Remove the pipe and inspect the internal O-ring for damage or debris.

Pipe will not insert fully

Check that the pipe end is not distorted or damaged. Ensure no internal debris is obstructing the connector depth.

Difficulty disconnecting the fitting

The Plumbright push-fit design is intended for permanent installation. Attempting to force the connection apart may damage the pipe or the fitting internals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional methods
  • No open flames or soldering flux required
  • Certified for safety and reliability through KITEMARK and WRAS
  • Durable design with high burst resistance
  • Clean, professional appearance for visible pipes

Cons

  • Requires proper pipe deburring for a secure seal
  • Not compatible with all types of copper pipe without specific inserts
  • Once installed, the connection is designed to be permanent

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, first cut the 22mm pipe square using an appropriate plastic pipe cutter, ensuring there are no jagged edges. It is essential to deburr the end of the pipe thoroughly; any rough edges can damage the internal O-ring seal, causing leaks. Push the pipe firmly into the connector until you feel it hit the internal stop. For care, keep the fitting free of paint or heavy debris. Do not use chemical pipe dopes or leak sealants on the internal components of the push-fit joint, as these can degrade the rubber seals over time.
