Product Information

Full details

This Salamander 22mm Angled AV Coupler is designed for homeowners and plumbers looking to replace an existing Salamander 22mm Angled AV Coupler on their pump system. Its key benefit is limiting the transfer of motor and pump vibration to associated pipework, ensuring quieter operation and reduced stress on your plumbing. A potential caveat is that not all Salamander pumps use this specific 22mm size; some models require a 15mm coupler.

FAQs

What size coupler does my Salamander pump need?

This is a 22mm x 3/4" Inch coupler. It is suitable for most Salamander pumps that use a 22mm AV coupler. However, Salamander CT, CT+, RSP 50, and RGP 40 models use a 15mm coupler. Always check your existing fitting or pump specifications.

Can I use this coupler with other brands of pumps?

This coupler is specifically designed for Salamander pumps with the corresponding 22mm AV connection. Using it with other brands may result in incompatibility or leaks.

What do the built-in isolation valves do?

The isolation valves allow you to stop the flow of water through the coupler. This is useful for maintenance on the pump or connected pipes, preventing the need to drain a larger section of the system.

How often should I replace the AV coupler?

AV couplers are designed for longevity. However, inspect it periodically for signs of wear, cracking, or hardening. Replacement is recommended if you notice increased vibration transfer or leaks.

Does this coupler come with flexible hose or fittings?

This product is for the Salamander 22mm Angled AV Coupler itself, which includes the built-in isolation valves. It does not typically include the flexible hose or other pipe fittings.

What is the benefit of an angled coupler?

An angled coupler is useful in installations where space is limited. It allows the flexible hose to connect to the pump at an angle, which can prevent kinks and make routing easier compared to a straight coupler.

Troubleshooting

Coupler is leaking after installation

Ensure the coupler is screwed in tightly. Check that the flexible hose connection is secure and the sealing washer (if applicable) is in good condition. Verify compatibility with the pump outlet thread.

Excessive vibration is still present

Confirm that this is the correct 22mm AV coupler for your specific Salamander pump model. Check if the coupler is properly seated and the pump itself is securely mounted. Consider if other components in the system are contributing to vibration.

Pump is noisy even with the new coupler

While the coupler reduces vibration transfer, it does not eliminate pump operational noise entirely. Ensure the pump is functioning correctly. Check for blockages in the system that might cause the pump to work harder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces noise and vibration transfer from the pump.
  • Ensures compatibility with specific Salamander pump models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

This coupler is designed for Salamander pumps that use a 3/4" BSP x 22mm AV coupler. Please verify your existing coupler size. It is *not* compatible with Salamander CT, CT+, RSP 50, and RGP 40 models, which use a 3/4" BSP x 15mm coupler.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pump is turned off and disconnected from the power supply.
  2. Carefully disconnect the existing flexible hose from the old AV coupler.
  3. Unscrew the old 22mm Angled AV Coupler from the pump outlet.
  4. Screw the new Salamander 22mm Angled AV Coupler into the pump outlet, ensuring a snug fit.
  5. Connect the flexible hose to the 22mm end of the new coupler.
  6. Ensure the built-in isolation valves are in the appropriate position for system operation.
  7. Reconnect the pump to the power supply and test for leaks and proper operation.

Care:

  • Periodically check the coupler for any signs of wear or leakage.
  • Use the built-in isolation valves to shut off water flow if maintenance is required on the pump or connected pipework.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
