A 'Solder Ring' fitting contains a ring of solder within the socket. When the fitting is heated, this ring melts and flows into the gap between the pipe and the fitting, creating a strong, watertight joint via capillary action.
This fitting is designed for water applications and is not certified for use on gas lines. Always use fittings specifically rated and approved for gas installations.
No, this fitting is specifically designed for copper pipes and requires soldering. It is not compatible with plastic pipe systems.
While specific ratings can vary, standard solder ring fittings are designed to meet the typical pressure and temperature requirements of domestic hot and cold water systems. For specific high-pressure or high-temperature applications, consult Plumbright's technical specifications.
Typically, the pre-inserted solder ring negates the need for external flux, as the flux is often incorporated within the solder ring itself. However, always check the product packaging or manufacturer's recommendations for specific instructions.
Proper technique involves clean pipes, even heating of the fitting (not the flame directly on the solder), and allowing the solder to be drawn into the joint. Avoid disturbing the joint until it has fully cooled.
Ensure the pipe and fitting were heated evenly and sufficiently. The heat source should be applied to the fitting, not directly to the solder ring. Check that the pipes were clean and free of oxidation before assembly. Overheating can also cause issues.
The joint may not have been heated long enough or evenly, or there might have been movement during the cooling process. The joint will need to be re-made. Carefully disassemble (if possible), clean, and re-solder the joint, ensuring proper heat application and no disturbance during cooling.
Verify that you are using the correct size pipes (22mm and 15mm) and that they are not deformed. Ensure no debris is inside the fitting socket.
