Yes, the Prima Plus fittings are approved for use with both water and gas installations, provided local regulations are adhered to.

You will typically need two wrenches: one to hold the fitting body and another to tighten the compression nut. A pipe cutter and deburring tool may also be necessary for preparing the pipe.

After hand-tightening, use wrenches to tighten an additional 1 to 1.5 turns. Overtightening can damage the pipe or fitting, while undertightening will cause leaks. Refer to specific installation guides for precise torque if available.

The Kite Mark is a British certification mark indicating that the product conforms to the relevant British Standard, assuring a high level of quality, safety, and performance.

Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the chrome finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the protective chrome layer.

The olive (or compression ring) is a brass ring that is compressed onto the pipe by the compression nut when tightened. This compression creates the seal against the fitting body.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted, the olive is correctly seated, and the nut is adequately tightened. Check for pipe damage or ovality. If a leak persists, consider replacing the olive and re-tightening, or the fitting itself.

Verify the pipe is clean and free of debris. Ensure the olive is not cross-threaded or damaged. Lubricating the threads lightly with appropriate plumbing grease might help, but avoid over-lubrication.

The pipe may not be fully inserted, or the olive may not have compressed correctly. Loosen the nut, re-seat the pipe and olive, and re-tighten. Ensure the correct size fitting is used for the pipe diameter.
