Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Solder Ring Fitting Reducer is designed for professional plumbers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require efficient, high-quality copper piping transitions between 10mm and 8mm diameters. Its primary benefit is the integrated solder feature, which drastically speeds up installation by removing the requirement to manually apply separate solder wire. However, users should be aware that proper preparation and cleaning of the copper pipe surface are essential to ensure the pre-loaded solder flows correctly for a leak-proof seal.

FAQs

Are these fittings safe for drinking water?

Yes, these fittings are fully WRAS approved and safe for use in drinking water systems.

Do I need to add extra solder?

No, the fitting comes with an integrated solder ring specifically measured to create a perfect seal.

Can I use these on gas lines?

Yes, these fittings are suitable for use in both water and gas plumbing installations.

What standards do these fittings meet?

They are manufactured to EN 1254 standards and are kite marked for quality.

Can these be reused if I make a mistake?

No, solder ring fittings are designed for a single permanent installation. If a mistake is made, the fitting must be cut out and replaced.

Troubleshooting

Solder did not flow correctly around the pipe

Ensure the pipe was cleaned thoroughly with an abrasive pad and that sufficient flux was applied prior to heating.

Joint is leaking after cooling

The joint may have been disturbed while cooling or heated unevenly. Clean the area, check for proper pipe seating, and re-heat carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated solder saves significant time on site
  • WRAS approved for safe use with drinking water
  • High-quality copper construction for durability
  • Compliant with rigorous EN 1254 and British standards

Cons

  • Requires proper pipe preparation to ensure capillary action
  • Limited to specific pipe size transitions (10mm to 8mm)
  • Requires an open flame or professional heat tool to activate

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a long-lasting, leak-free connection, follow these steps during setup:

  1. Preparation: Use a pipe cutter to ensure the pipe ends are square and free of burrs. Use a cleaning pad to remove any oxidation from the pipe surface.
  2. Application: Apply a light, even coat of suitable plumbing flux to the cleaned ends of the pipes.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipes fully into the fitting until they reach the internal stop.
  4. Heating: Apply heat evenly around the body of the fitting. As the integrated solder ring reaches its melting point, it will be pulled into the gap by capillary action.
  5. Cooling: Allow the joint to cool naturally without moving the pipes to prevent stress fractures in the cooling solder.

Always ensure the system is depressurized before beginning any installation work, and verify that all local plumbing codes are followed for gas or water line modifications.
