FAQs

Is this fitting compatible with all Mira showers?

This specific fitting is designed for the Mira Excel range. Compatibility with other Mira models should be verified by checking your shower's documentation or contacting Mira customer support.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Basic plumbing tools such as wrenches are typically required. Ensure you have the necessary tools for tightening compression fittings securely.

What is a compression fitting?

A compression fitting creates a watertight seal by compressing a metal ring (olive) onto the pipe as the nut is tightened, forming a secure connection without soldering.

How do I know if my current fitting needs replacing?

Signs of a failing fitting include visible drips or leaks at the connection point, corrosion, or damage to the nut or olive.

Can this be used with copper or plastic pipes?

This fitting is typically designed for use with specific pipe types, often copper. Always check the product specifications or installation guide for confirmed compatibility with your plumbing system.

What is the manufacturer's guarantee?

The product is covered by a manufacturer's guarantee from Mira, ensuring it meets their quality standards.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the compression nut is sufficiently tightened. Check that the olive is correctly seated and that the pipe is clean and free of burrs. If the leak persists, the olive or nut may be damaged, and replacement may be necessary.

Difficulty tightening the nut

Verify that you are using the correct fitting for your Mira Excel model. Ensure there are no cross-threads. Clean the threads on both the valve and the nut.

Low water pressure after installation

Check that the water supply was fully restored. Ensure the pipe is not blocked and that the fitting is not restricting flow (though compression fittings are generally low-profile). Check other parts of the shower system for blockages.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Guaranteed by Mira manufacturer for quality assurance.
  • Durable chrome finish for longevity and appearance.
  • Secure compression fitting minimizes leak risk.
  • Designed specifically for Mira shower systems, ensuring compatibility.

Cons

  • Primarily compatible with Mira Excel models; may not fit other shower brands or Mira series.
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for correct installation.
  • If not installed correctly, leaks can still occur.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation. Clean the end of the water pipe to be connected. Slide the compression nut and then the olive onto the pipe. Insert the pipe into the inlet valve, ensuring it is fully seated. Tighten the compression nut by hand, then use a wrench to tighten it a further specified amount (refer to Mira's installation manual for exact torque if available). Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

Compatibility: This fitting is specifically designed for Mira Excel shower models. Always verify compatibility with your specific Mira shower model before purchasing.

Care: The chrome finish can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the finish. Regularly check the connection for any signs of wear or leaks.
