FAQs
Is this fitting suitable for hot water systems?
No, the Primaflow Danzey Flange is specifically intended for cold water storage applications.
What size hole should I drill in the tank?
The hole size should be just large enough to accommodate the threaded shank of the flange, allowing for a snug fit without excessive clearance.
Can I use this with plastic pipe?
Yes, it is compatible with 22mm plastic pipe, provided you use the appropriate pipe insert to prevent pipe crushing within the compression fitting.
Does it come with a washer?
Yes, the fitting is designed for use with a washer to ensure a proper watertight seal against the tank wall.
What material is the flange made of?
The flange is constructed from durable bronze.
Troubleshooting
Water weeping at the tank wall connection
Tighten the retaining nut slightly, or check if the washer is compressed unevenly or damaged.
Threaded connection leaking
Remove the fitting, clean the threads, and reapply high-quality PTFE tape or pipe sealant.
Fitting rotates during installation
Ensure you are using a proper basin wrench or a pipe wrench to hold the flange body steady while tightening the nut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, drill a hole in the tank wall that allows for a snug fit. Position the flange through the hole, ensuring the rubber washer sits flush against the internal tank surface to prevent seepage. Tighten the retaining nut carefully; do not overtighten, as this can deform the tank wall or damage the threads. Use an appropriate plumber's tape or sealant on the BSP thread side. Inspect the connection annually for signs of lime scale buildup or vibration-induced loosening. Keep the area around the tank clean to avoid debris interfering with the seal.
