Product Information

Full details

The PrimaPlus 22mm Endfeed Equal Tee is an essential plumbing component for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts working on copper piping systems. These fittings provide a high-integrity, capillary-action joint for water and gas installations, ensuring a leak-proof connection that meets stringent safety standards. While they offer exceptional reliability and WRAS approval for potable water, the primary caveat is that they require professional-grade soldering skills and equipment to ensure a successful, secure bond.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these fittings suitable for gas installations?

Yes, these fittings are suitable for use in copper gas piping systems, provided the installation is performed by a qualified professional.

Do I need to use specific solder with these?

Standard plumbing solder designed for copper capillary joints is recommended. Ensure the solder type is appropriate for the pressure and medium of the system.

Can I use these on plastic (PEX/PB) pipe?

No, these are endfeed copper fittings specifically designed for copper-to-copper connections. They cannot be soldered to plastic pipe.

What does WRAS approved mean?

It means the product has been tested to ensure it will not cause contamination of drinking water and meets the requirements of the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations.

Are these fittings reusable?

No, endfeed fittings create a permanent, soldered connection. Once installed, they must be cut out if you need to modify the pipework.

Troubleshooting

Solder will not flow into the joint

The fitting or pipe is likely not hot enough or was not cleaned properly. Ensure the surface is free of oxidation and reheat.

Leak discovered after cooling

The joint likely has a 'pinhole' or gap. Clean the area, re-apply flux, and attempt to re-solder. If the leak persists, cut out the section and use a new fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for safe use with drinking water (WRAS approved)
  • High-quality manufacturing ensures consistent 22mm fitment
  • Reliable, permanent connection when soldered correctly
  • Complies with rigorous British and European standards

Cons

  • Requires proficiency in soldering and blowtorch use
  • Not intended for non-copper piping materials
  • Permanent installation makes future disassembly difficult without cutting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Cut the 22mm copper pipe squarely and remove all burrs from the cut edge.
  2. Cleaning: Use a wire brush or abrasive cloth to clean the exterior of the pipe end and the interior of the fitting socket until bright metal is visible.
  3. Fluxing: Apply a thin, even layer of plumbing flux to both the pipe end and the fitting socket. Do not over-apply flux, as excess can enter the pipe system.
  4. Heating: Insert the pipe fully into the fitting and apply heat evenly around the joint using a blowtorch. Test the heat by touching the solder to the joint; when it melts on contact, the temperature is correct.
  5. Finishing: Allow the joint to cool naturally without agitation. Once cool, wipe away any flux residue, as acidic flux can cause corrosion over time if left on the copper surface.

These fittings are strictly designed for 22mm copper pipe and should not be forced onto pipes of different materials or diameters.
