Prima Plus Compression Stop End - 35mm

WRAS approval signifies that the fitting has been rigorously tested and meets the high standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme for use in public water supplies in the UK. It ensures the fitting will not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.

The Prima Plus Compression Stop End is suitable for low-pressure gas installations. For high-pressure gas lines, always consult specific regulations and use fittings explicitly rated and approved for such applications.

You will need two wrenches (e.g., pipe wrenches or adjustable spanners) – one to hold the fitting body steady and another to tighten the compression nut.

Tighten the nut until it feels firm and the fitting is secure. A common guideline is to tighten it about one full turn after it hand-tightens. However, it's crucial not to over-tighten, which can damage the pipe or olive. If you are unsure, check the specific torque recommendations if provided by the manufacturer or consult a professional.

Compression fittings typically create a permanent seal with the olive deforming onto the pipe. While the fitting body might be reusable, the olive is usually replaced when dismantling and reassembling a joint to ensure a reliable seal.

The Kite Mark is a British certification mark indicating that the product conforms to the relevant British Standard (BS). For this fitting, it signifies compliance with BS standards for pipe fittings, assuring quality and safety.

Ensure the pipe was correctly inserted, the olive was properly seated, and the compression nut was tightened sufficiently (but not over-tightened). If the leak persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, requiring the joint to be remade with new components.

Check for any cross-threading or debris in the fitting threads. Ensure the correct size wrenches are being used to apply steady pressure. If the pipe is deformed, it may need to be cut and re-prepared.

While brass is resistant, harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to specific water conditions can cause discoloration. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance unless deep corrosion occurs. Ensure the system water is within recommended parameters.
