The Prima Plus Compression Reduced Coupling is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working on water and gas piping systems. Designed for precision and reliability, these British-manufactured fittings provide a secure, leak-proof connection when joining pipes of different diameters, specifically transitioning from 15mm to 8mm. While these high-quality components offer exceptional safety standards, users should ensure they are using appropriate tools to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the internal olives.

Yes, Prima Plus compression fittings are manufactured to meet the safety requirements necessary for gas system installations.
Yes, these components are fully WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved, making them safe for potable water systems.
Generally, compression fittings are designed to seal through the mechanical compression of the olive against the pipe and body; however, some professionals prefer a thin layer of plumbing sealant as a precaution.
It is highly recommended to replace the olive whenever a compression joint is broken and reassembled to ensure a watertight seal.
The fittings are manufactured from high-quality brass to ensure corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
These are primarily designed for copper pipe; if using plastic piping, you must use the appropriate stiffening inserts provided by the plastic pipe manufacturer.
Tighten the nut by an additional quarter turn. If the leak persists, dismantle and ensure there is no debris or damage on the pipe surface or olive.
Check that the threads are clean and not cross-threaded. Ensure the pipe is inserted deep enough so that it is not pushing the nut out of alignment.
Installation of the Prima Plus 15 x 8mm coupling requires only basic plumbing tools, such as an adjustable wrench and a pipe cutter.
For care, periodically inspect joints after installation for any signs of moisture. Because these fittings are compression-based, they are generally maintenance-free; however, if the system is ever dismantled, it is recommended to replace the olives to ensure a fresh, secure seal upon reassembly.
