FAQs

What size pipe does this connector fit?

This connector fits 22mm pipes to a 3/4" connection.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, emery cloth or wire brush, flux, solder, and a torch.

Can I use this connector with other types of pipes?

This connector is designed for use with copper pipes. Ensure compatibility with other materials before use.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure the pipe is clean, use the correct flux and solder, and apply heat evenly during soldering to ensure a complete seal. Check for leaks after the joint has cooled.

What type of solder should I use?

Use solder specifically designed for copper pipes. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Where can I find more information?

Consult the manufacturer's website or a professional plumber for more detailed guidance and support.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Check the soldering. Re-solder the joint, ensuring full flow of solder around the connection. Ensure the pipe was properly cleaned and prepared.

Ensure the pipe is properly deburred. Check for any obstructions in the fitting. Consider using a pipe reamer if necessary.
