Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Solder Ring Reduced Coupling is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable way to connect copper pipes of different diameters. Designed to save significant installation time by featuring an integrated solder ring, this fitting eliminates the need for manual flux and solder application. While it offers superior efficiency and WRAS-approved safety for drinking water systems, users must ensure they have a blowtorch or appropriate heat source to properly melt the internal solder during installation.

FAQs

Are these fittings compatible with plastic piping?

No, these solder ring fittings are designed exclusively for use with copper pipework.

Do I need to buy extra solder for this fitting?

No, the fitting comes with an integrated solder ring, so no additional solder is required for a standard joint.

Is this product safe for drinking water?

Yes, it is WRAS approved, making it perfectly safe for use in potable water installations.

What is the primary benefit of the kite mark?

The kite mark serves as an independent assurance that the product meets high-level British manufacturing and safety standards.

Can I reuse these fittings?

No, these are intended for a single, permanent installation and cannot be reused once soldered.

Troubleshooting

Solder does not melt or flow

Ensure the heat is applied evenly to the body of the fitting and verify your torch is reaching a sufficient temperature.

Joint leaks after cooling

The pipe may have been dirty or oxidized; clean the pipe more thoroughly and ensure enough flux was applied before reheating.

Solder creates a bridge outside the joint

You may have overheated the fitting; maintain a consistent distance with the torch and remove heat as soon as the solder ring appears.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to standard end-feed fittings
  • No need to carry separate solder wire or flux pots
  • WRAS approved for safe use in drinking water systems
  • Consistent and reliable joints due to pre-measured solder
  • High-quality copper construction for excellent longevity

Cons

  • Requires a heat source like a blowtorch for installation
  • Not suitable for use with plastic or PEX piping
  • Once soldered, the joint is permanent and difficult to disassemble

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your 10mm and 8mm copper pipes are cut cleanly and deburred. Use wire wool or an abrasive strip to polish the ends of the pipes to a bright finish. Apply a light coating of plumbing flux to the pipe ends, insert them into the coupling, and apply heat using a blowtorch until you see a silver ring of solder appear at the fitting mouth. Once cooled, wipe away excess flux to prevent future corrosion. These fittings are strictly for use with copper piping. Always inspect the joint for leaks after the system has been pressurized.
