Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the 22mm pipe end is clean, circular, and free from burrs or scratches.
Insertion: Push the pipe fully into the compression fitting until it bottoms out against the internal stop.
Tightening: Hand-tighten the nut initially, then use a suitable spanner to tighten it by an additional half to three-quarters of a turn. Avoid using excessive force as this may deform the compression olive.
Compatibility: This fitting is designed for use with standard 22mm copper pipe and components featuring a 3/4-inch BSP female thread.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the joint for any signs of moisture or leaks. Periodically wipe the chrome surface with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish; avoid abrasive chemicals.
