Product Information

Full details

The Prima Classic 15mm Compression Tank Connector is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable, leak-proof junction between a tank and 15mm piping. It excels by providing a robust brass connection that meets stringent EN 1254 standards, ensuring safety and performance in water and gas systems. While it offers exceptional durability, users must ensure the tank wall is sufficiently flat and reinforced to prevent localized stress during the tightening process.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this connector safe for drinking water?

Yes, it is fully WRAS approved and certified for use with potable water systems.

Can I use this for gas piping?

Yes, the product is suitable for gas systems, provided the installation adheres to local gas safety regulations.

What is the material composition?

It is made from high-quality trade-grade brass.

Does this require soldering?

No, this is a compression fitting and does not require heat or solder.

Can it be used on thin-walled plastic tanks?

While compatible, it is highly recommended to use a backing plate or reinforcement to prevent the tank wall from warping under pressure.

Troubleshooting

Slow drip at the compression joint

Tighten the compression nut by an additional 1/8th turn. If it persists, inspect the olive for uneven deformation.

Leaking behind the tank flange

Ensure the tank wall is flat and the rubber washer is correctly seated and free of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for drinking water use
  • High-grade, durable brass material
  • Standardized sizing for easy integration
  • No heat or soldering required for installation
  • Suitable for both gas and water systems

Cons

  • Requires proper tank reinforcement to prevent cracking
  • Overtightening can deform the olive
  • Not intended for non-standard pipe diameters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Drill a hole in the tank slightly larger than the connector thread but small enough for the flange to cover.
  2. Installation: Place the washer on the connector body before inserting it through the hole.
  3. Tightening: Screw the backnut onto the connector inside the tank, ensuring the seal is compressed evenly.
  4. Connection: Insert the 15mm pipe into the external side of the fitting, tighten the compression nut by hand, and finish with a spanner.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically check the fitting for signs of corrosion or moisture, especially in hard water areas. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the brass surface.
