This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable pipe connections. The key benefit is a secure, WRAS-approved brass fitting for plumbing applications, providing durable and leak-free joints. A potential caveat is the specific size requirement (10mm x 3/8" BSP), so ensure it matches your existing setup. This pack of two connectors offers a straightforward solution for extending or repairing pipework.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been tested and meets the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales, ensuring it is safe for use in contact with drinking water.
No, these connectors are specifically designed and approved for water applications only.
This fitting is designed for 10mm outer diameter pipes, commonly copper or certain types of rigid plastic pipes suitable for compression fittings.
You will need two wrenches: one to hold the fitting body steady and another to tighten the compression nut.
BSP (British Standard Pipe) refers to a set of standard pipe threads. 3/8" and 1/2" refer to the nominal size of the thread, which dictates the diameter and thread pitch. This fitting specifically requires a 3/8" BSP male thread to connect to.
Hand-tighten the nut, then use a wrench to tighten it further by about 1/2 to 1 full turn. The goal is to compress the ferrule sufficiently to create a seal without damaging the pipe or fitting. Overtightening can lead to cracking or deformation.
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and cut square. Check that the compression ring is correctly positioned. Tighten the compression nut slightly further (approximately 1/8 turn at a time). Ensure the threads on the mating part are clean and undamaged.
Verify that you are using a 10mm diameter pipe. Ensure the pipe end is not deformed or oval. If using plastic pipe, ensure it is rigid enough to be compressed effectively.
Ensure the threads on both the fitting body and the nut are clean and free from debris. Do not force the nut; check for cross-threading.
