Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure the pipe was cut squarely and is free from burrs. If the leak persists, tighten the nut by another quarter turn.

Nut feels difficult to tighten

Verify that the pipe is inserted fully and that the thread is not cross-threaded; never force the nut if resistance is felt early.

Olive not gripping the pipe

Check that the copper pipe is standard 15mm gauge and has not been flattened or damaged during the cutting process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • WRAS approved for drinking water safety
  • Meets EN 1254 industry standards
  • Professional chrome finish for exposed areas
  • Versatile for both gas and water lines
  • Certified with the British Kite mark

Cons

  • Requires proper compression fitting techniques to avoid leaks
  • May require PTFE tape for certain threaded connections
  • Not intended for non-standard pipe diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 15mm copper pipe is cut square and the end is deburred to prevent damage to the compression olive. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body, and hand-tighten the nut before using a spanner to complete the final turn. For the 1/2 inch female thread, ensure the mating male thread is clean and potentially wrapped with an appropriate sealant tape if required. Avoid using excessive force during tightening to prevent deformation of the olive. To maintain the chrome finish, wipe occasionally with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which may scratch or degrade the metallic surface.
