FAQs

Are these fittings safe for drinking water?

Yes, all Prima Plus endfeed fittings are WRAS approved, making them safe for use in potable (drinking) water systems.

Can I use these for gas pipes?

Yes, these copper fittings are suitable for gas installations provided they are installed according to local regulations by a qualified professional.

Do I need special tools to install them?

You will need a pipe cutter, a deburring tool, abrasive cleaning pads, flux, lead-free solder, and a soldering torch.

What is the benefit of the Kitemark?

The Kitemark is an independent stamp of quality that proves the product has been tested against specific British standards for performance and safety.

Are these adaptors reusable?

No, endfeed fittings are designed for permanent installation. Once a joint is soldered, the fitting cannot be removed and reused.

What size options are available?

The Prima Plus range includes various sizes, including 15mm, 22mm, 28mm, and 42mm, paired with various female thread sizes.

Troubleshooting

Solder not flowing into the joint

The fitting or pipe may not be hot enough or the surface is not clean. Re-clean the pipe and ensure the heat is applied evenly to the body of the fitting.

Leak after installation

The joint likely has a void. Clean the pipe and fitting again, re-flux, and re-solder, ensuring the pipe is fully inserted into the socket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable copper material
  • Suitable for both gas and potable water applications
  • Meets rigorous EN 1254 and Kitemark safety standards
  • Fully WRAS approved for drinking water safety

Cons

  • Requires professional soldering skills for installation
  • Not suitable for use with mechanical crimping tools
  • Requires heat-resistant tools for safe handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Preparation: Cut the copper pipe squarely and remove any burrs from the end using a file or deburring tool.
  2. Cleaning: Use a wire wool pad or abrasive cloth to clean the pipe surface until it is bright and shiny. Apply a thin, even coat of high-quality flux to the cleaned area.
  3. Insertion: Insert the pipe fully into the adaptor fitting until it reaches the stop.
  4. Heating: Apply heat evenly to the fitting using a blowtorch. Once the flux begins to bubble, touch the lead-free solder to the mouth of the fitting; the solder should melt and flow into the joint via capillary action.
  5. Cooling: Allow the joint to cool naturally before applying pressure to the system.

Compatibility note: These adaptors are specifically sized for standard copper tubing. Ensure you match the nominal diameter exactly to the pipe size before purchasing. Avoid using harsh chemicals for exterior cleaning, as copper will develop a natural patina over time.
