FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, flux, solder, a blowtorch, and a brush for applying the flux.

What type of solder should I use?

Use solder specifically designed for copper pipes and plumbing applications. Ensure it meets local plumbing codes.

How do I prevent leaks?

Properly clean the pipe and fitting, use flux, ensure the solder flows completely around the joint, and avoid overheating the joint during soldering.

Can I reuse this fitting?

Generally, it's not recommended to reuse endfeed fittings once they've been soldered, as the integrity of the solder joint may be compromised.

What size pipe does this adaptor fit?

This adaptor fits 22mm pipes and has a 3/4" female coupler.

How do I test for leaks after installation?

Turn the water supply back on and carefully inspect all joints for any signs of water leakage. Use a paper towel to check for dampness around each joint.

What safety precautions should I take when soldering?

Wear safety glasses, work in a well-ventilated area, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Be careful when using a blowtorch.

What is the lifespan of this adaptor?

With proper installation and care, the Plumbright Endfeed Straight Adaptor can last for many years, often matching the lifespan of the copper pipes in your system.

Troubleshooting

Joint Leaks After Installation

Check if the solder has fully filled the joint. If not, reheat and add more solder. Ensure the pipe was properly cleaned before soldering. Also, check for any pinholes.

Difficulty Soldering the Joint

Ensure you are using the correct solder and flux for copper pipes. Make sure the fitting and pipe are completely clean and free of any debris or oxidation. Ensure that you are heating the fitting and not the pipe itself.

Slow Water Flow

Check for any obstructions within the pipe or fitting. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting to allow full flow. If the pipe is damaged or bent, replace it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates robust and leak-free joints.
  • Easy to install with endfeed soldering.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Compatible with standard 22mm pipe and 3/4" fittings.

Cons

  • Requires soldering skills for proper installation.
  • May require additional fittings for specific applications.
  • Potential for leaks if soldering isn't done correctly.
  • Requires careful alignment during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the pipe is clean, cut squarely, and deburred. Clean the inside of the fitting and the outside of the pipe to be connected.
  2. Assembly: Insert the pipe fully into the fitting. Apply flux to both the pipe and fitting.
  3. Soldering: Heat the fitting with a blowtorch until the solder flows smoothly into the joint. Avoid overheating. Ensure the solder forms a complete ring around the joint.
  4. Cooling: Allow the joint to cool naturally. Avoid moving the pipe during this process.
  5. Compatibility: Compatible with 22mm copper pipes and 3/4" fittings. Always use appropriate flux and solder for copper pipes.
  6. Care: After installation, inspect all joints for leaks. Regularly check for corrosion or wear, especially in older plumbing systems.
