The Primaflow Compression Male Iron Adaptor is an essential component for professional plumbers and serious DIYers looking to bridge compression pipework with threaded iron systems. It excels by providing a leak-proof, high-quality brass connection that is fully WRAS approved for drinking water safety. While it offers industry-leading durability, users should ensure they have the proper spanners and pipe-cutting tools, as improper tightening can compromise the compression seal.

Yes, this brass compression adaptor is designed to be suitable for both water and gas systems.
Yes, it is WRAS approved, which confirms it is safe for use with mains drinking water.
It is generally recommended to replace the olive whenever a compression joint is broken to ensure a new, reliable seal.
No, the compression end uses a metal olive to form a seal. PTFE tape is only recommended for the threaded iron connection end.
This fitting is designed for 22mm pipework on the compression side and a 3/4 inch thread on the iron side.
Ensure the pipe end is deburred and square. If it still leaks, tighten the nut by a quarter turn at a time, but do not exceed the structural limits of the brass.
Check that the threads are clean and free of debris. Ensure the male and female threads are correctly aligned to avoid cross-threading.
To install, ensure the 22mm pipe is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the olive. Slide the nut and the olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe into the adaptor body, and tighten the nut until firm. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the olive and cause leaks. For maintenance, periodically check the joint for signs of moisture or corrosion, especially in gas systems. Ensure you are using the correct size wrench to avoid scratching the brass finish or rounding off the nut corners.
