Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Dzr Compression Adaptor (42mm x 1.1/2" Female) is an essential component for professional plumbers and serious DIY enthusiasts working on robust water supply systems. This high-quality fitting provides a secure, leak-free transition between pipes and threaded hardware, offering the peace of mind that comes with WRAS approval and EN 1254 compliance. While it is built for durability and ease of installation, users should note that as a compression fitting, it requires careful tightening to avoid over-compression of the olive while ensuring a watertight seal.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this adaptor safe for drinking water?

Yes, this component is fully WRAS approved, meaning it has been tested and certified safe for use with potable water systems.

What does DZR mean?

DZR stands for De-zincification Resistant. It is a type of brass alloy engineered to prevent the leaching of zinc from the metal, which helps the fitting last much longer in corrosive water conditions.

Can I use this on plastic pipe?

Compression fittings can be used on plastic pipe, provided you use an appropriate pipe insert to prevent the plastic from collapsing under compression.

Where is this product manufactured?

The Prima Plus Dzr Compression Adaptor is manufactured in Britain to high-quality EN 1254 standards.

Do I need to use thread sealant on the compression side?

No, the compression seal relies on the olive being compressed against the pipe and fitting. Thread sealant is not required for the compression joint.

Troubleshooting

Joint is weeping or leaking

Ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred. Tighten the nut slightly more. If it persists, inspect the olive for damage or deformation.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Check the end of the pipe for burrs or physical deformation. Use a pipe sizing tool or deburring file to smooth the edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance due to DZR material
  • Suitable for potable drinking water systems
  • Manufactured to strict British and EN standards
  • Reliable and easy-to-use compression design

Cons

  • Requires proper sizing knowledge for 42mm piping
  • Requires careful installation to ensure olive compression
  • Larger diameter fittings may require specific heavy-duty wrenches

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Prima Plus Dzr Compression Adaptor, first ensure your pipe is clean, deburred, and free of scratches. Slide the compression nut and olive onto the pipe, then insert the pipe fully into the adaptor body. Hand-tighten the nut initially, then use a suitable spanner to tighten it by an additional half to three-quarters of a turn to compress the olive against the pipe and the fitting seat. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the olive and compromise the seal. Regularly inspect connections for signs of weeping, particularly after initial pressure testing. This fitting is designed for use within standard plumbing systems; always verify that pipe materials are compatible with compression fittings before installation.
