The Primaflow Warix Flange is an essential component for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on cold water storage systems, specifically designed to provide a secure and leak-free connection for pipework passing through tank or cistern walls. It offers a robust bronze construction and a reliable 22mm compression fitting, though users must ensure they have adequate space to tighten the back nut within the tank interior during installation.

Yes, but ensure you use a pipe insert/liner inside the plastic pipe to prevent it from collapsing under the pressure of the compression fitting.
This product is primarily designed for cold water storage systems.
Yes, the flange is designed with a sealing mechanism, but always ensure the contact surfaces on the tank are clean and flat.
Installation is possible, but you must ensure the seal has full contact around the entire circumference to prevent leaks.
You will need a hole saw, an adjustable spanner, and a pair of water pump pliers.
Tighten the flange nut further, ensuring the washer or gasket is properly centered and not pinched.
Ensure the 22mm pipe is fully inserted into the fitting, then tighten the compression nut another quarter turn.
Use a pair of grips or a dedicated flange wrench inside the tank to keep the flange from rotating while tightening the external nut.
To install, first drill a hole in the tank wall sized specifically for the flange shank. Insert the threaded end through the hole from the inside, ensuring the integral seal or provided washer is seated correctly against the tank wall. Thread the back nut on from the outside and tighten firmly to compress the seal. Always check that the 22mm pipe end is cut square and free of burrs before inserting it into the compression fitting to ensure a perfect airtight and watertight seal. Periodically inspect the connection for signs of dampness or mineral buildup, particularly if the water quality is hard.
