Yes, these fittings are manufactured to EN 1254 standards and are suitable for gas as well as water installations.
These fittings are designed primarily for copper pipe. Using them on plastic pipe may require a dedicated pipe insert to prevent the pipe from crushing.
WRAS approval means the product has been tested to ensure it does not cause contamination of drinking water and is safe for use in water supply systems.
While the brass body is reusable, it is industry best practice to replace the compression olive every time the joint is broken to ensure a new, secure seal.
This is a compression fitting, which uses a nut and olive to create a mechanical seal against the pipe.
Tighten the nut by a quarter turn. If it continues to leak, disassemble and check the pipe for scratches or ovality.
Check for cross-threading. If the nut binds, unscrew completely and realign the fitting to ensure it is perfectly square to the pipe.
To install, ensure the pipe end is cut square and perfectly circular, as any deformation on a 54mm pipe will cause a leak. Deburr both the inner and outer edges of the pipe to prevent scratching the olive during assembly. Apply a thin layer of appropriate plumbing lubricant to the olive threads if necessary. Periodically inspect the fitting for signs of corrosion or moisture if installed in a high-humidity environment. Always use two heavy-duty wrenches when tightening to avoid stressing the pipework or the fitting housing.
