Yes, these Prima Plus fittings are suitable for gas and water installations provided they are installed according to local building regulations.
It is highly recommended to use a new olive if you disconnect the fitting, as the original olive has already been compressed and deformed to create the seal.
WRAS stands for Water Regulations Advisory Scheme; approval confirms the product meets high standards for safety and does not contaminate drinking water.
No, compression fittings create a mechanical seal via the olive and do not require PTFE tape on the olive itself.
This fitting is designed specifically for standard copper pipework.
Ensure the pipe was cut squarely and is not scored. Try tightening the nut an additional quarter turn, but do not overtighten.
Check the threads for debris and ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting body so the nut aligns correctly.
To install these fittings, ensure the copper pipe end is cut squarely and deburred to prevent damage to the olive. Slide the compression nut and the copper olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the fitting body, and tighten the nut by hand until finger-tight. Use two wrenches to complete the installation: one to hold the fitting body steady and the other to tighten the nut approximately 3/4 to one full turn. Always ensure the system is pressure-tested for leaks after installation. To maintain the system, avoid using harsh chemical sealants on the olive itself, as the mechanical compression is designed to hold the pressure alone.
