Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Chrome Compression Adaptor (15mm x 1/2 inch Male) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, leak-free connection for water and gas pipework. Its primary benefit is its high-quality construction and dual-certification, ensuring safety in drinking water systems; however, users should note that as a compression fitting, it requires careful tightening to ensure the olive seats correctly without deforming the pipe.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

Yes, this fitting is designed for use in both water and gas installations.

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

Yes, provided you use a manufacturer-approved pipe support sleeve (stiffener) inside the plastic pipe.

What does WRAS approval mean?

It means the product has been tested to ensure it does not contaminate drinking water, making it safe for use in mains water systems.

Does this come with an olive?

Yes, the fitting includes the necessary compression nut and olive for a 15mm pipe.

Can I reuse the olive if I disconnect the fitting?

It is generally recommended to replace the olive if you disconnect the joint, as olives deform during initial tightening to create a seal.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking slightly after installation

Tighten the compression nut by an additional quarter turn. If the leak persists, disassemble and ensure the olive is not damaged and the pipe is square.

Nut is difficult to tighten

Apply a small amount of PTFE tape or plumbing lubricant to the threads to reduce friction, ensuring the threads are correctly aligned.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Meets rigorous British and European quality standards
  • Suitable for both water and gas installations
  • Professional-grade chrome finish for aesthetic installations
  • Reliable WRAS approval for potable water safety

Cons

  • Requires proper tools to avoid overtightening
  • Must be used with appropriate pipe inserts if installing on plastic pipe
  • Chrome finish can be scratched if improper pliers are used

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the pipe end is clean, square, and free of burrs.
  2. Assembly: Slide the nut and olive onto the 15mm pipe. Push the pipe fully into the fitting body.
  3. Tightening: Hand-tighten the nut, then use an adjustable wrench or spanner to tighten approximately one full turn. Do not overtighten, as this can crush the olive.
  4. Compatibility: Compatible with 15mm copper pipe and standard 1/2 inch BSP male threaded ports. If using plastic pipe, always insert a dedicated pipe support sleeve inside the pipe before assembly.
  5. Care: Clean the chrome surface using only a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which may strip the plating.
