The Prima Plus Solder Ring Coupling is designed for professional plumbers and serious DIYers looking for a reliable, time-saving solution for copper pipe installations. These high-quality copper fittings feature an integrated solder ring that eliminates the need for manual solder application, ensuring a consistent and strong joint every time. While they offer exceptional efficiency and compliance with strict safety standards, users should note that they require proper torch technique to ensure the pre-applied solder flows correctly through the joint.

Ensure the pipe was cleaned thoroughly and sufficient flux was applied. Check that the heat was applied evenly around the entire circumference.
Allow the joint to cool completely. Clean, re-flux, and re-heat. If the issue persists, the pipe may have been out of round or damaged; cut the fitting out and use a fresh coupling.
This indicates overheating. Reduce the proximity of the torch flame and ensure you are moving the flame consistently around the fitting.
Proper preparation is the most critical step for success with Prima Plus fittings. Always ensure the ends of your copper pipes are thoroughly cleaned with an abrasive pad or wire wool to remove oxidation and debris. Apply a thin, even layer of suitable flux to the end of the pipe before inserting it into the coupling. When heating, avoid applying the flame directly to the solder ring area to prevent burning the flux. Instead, focus the heat on the body of the fitting and the pipe to draw the solder into the capillary gap. Regular inspection of the final joint for a complete, uniform ring of solder around the fitting edge is recommended to confirm a secure seal.
