FAQs

What is the primary advantage of Prima Plus fittings?

Prima Plus fittings are recognized for their premium brass construction, adherence to high British (BS, Kite Mark) and European (EN 1254) standards, and WRAS approval for potable water use, ensuring reliability and safety.

Can this fitting be used for gas pipes?

Yes, Prima Plus fittings are manufactured to be suitable for both water and gas installations, provided they meet the specific pressure and regulatory requirements for the gas system.

What does WRAS approval mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product meets the requirements of the water regulations in the UK and is safe for use with wholesome (drinking) water.

How do I identify the correct size fitting?

This fitting is 22mm on the pipe connection side and has a 3/4" male thread. Always measure your pipe diameter and thread size to ensure compatibility.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need two wrenches (e.g., pipe wrenches or adjustable spanners) to hold the fitting body steady and tighten the compression nut.

Is it possible to reuse the olive?

It is generally recommended to use a new olive for each compression joint to ensure a secure and leak-free seal. Reusing an olive can compromise its integrity.

Where are Prima Plus fittings made?

Prima Plus fittings are manufactured in Britain.

Troubleshooting

Leak detected at connection

Check that the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. If the leak persists, the olive may be damaged or incorrectly seated; consider replacing the olive and re-tightening.

Difficulty fitting pipe

Ensure the pipe is the correct size (22mm) and has been cut squarely. Remove any burrs from the pipe end. Ensure the pipe is inserted fully into the fitting.

Corrosion on fitting exterior

While brass is corrosion-resistant, aggressive environments can cause surface staining. Ensure no harsh chemicals are in contact with the fitting. Minor surface discoloration usually does not affect performance.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • As a specialized fitting, it might be less readily available than generic alternatives.
  • Brass fittings can be susceptible to damage if over-tightened during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe ends are clean, square, and free from burrs.
  2. Lubricate the pipe end slightly with a suitable lubricant if necessary.
  3. Slide the compression nut and then the olive onto the pipe.
  4. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting body.
  5. Slide the olive down to the fitting body and tighten the nut securely using appropriate wrenches. Avoid over-tightening.

Compatibility:

  • This fitting is designed for use with 22mm copper pipe or compatible pipe systems.
  • The male thread is 3/4", requiring a corresponding 3/4" female connection.
  • Compatible with both water and low-pressure gas applications.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure surrounding areas are kept clear of debris that could impact the fitting.
