What approvals does this fitting have?

How long is the manufacturer's guarantee?

The fitting comes with a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee.

What sizes are available?

The fitting is available in 10mm, 15mm, and 22mm sizes.

Can I use this fitting on existing plumbing?

Yes, provided the existing plumbing uses compatible copper pipes and the fitting size matches the pipe diameter.

What tools do I need to install this fitting?

You will need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, cleaning tool, blowtorch, and possibly flux.

How do I know if the joint is properly soldered?

The solder should flow evenly around the joint, creating a smooth and continuous seal. The fitting should be securely attached to the pipe, and there should be no gaps.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Ensure proper heating during the soldering process. Reheat the joint if necessary, ensuring the solder flows correctly and completely seals the gap. Check for any damage or imperfections in the fitting or pipe.

Difficulty in soldering.

Make sure the pipe and fitting are clean. Apply flux if necessary to aid in the soldering process. Ensure the heat is applied evenly and the solder ring melts completely.

Fitting is loose after cooling.

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting before heating. If the fitting is still loose, the joint might need to be re-soldered. Clean, reassemble, and reheat the joint, ensuring a complete seal.
