Product Information

Full details

The PRIMA CLASSIC Compression Adaptor is designed for professional plumbers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a robust, reliable connection for water or gas piping systems. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-quality trade brass construction and full WRAS approval, ensuring long-term durability and safety for drinking water systems. However, users should note that as a rigid compression fitting, it requires precise pipe preparation and proper tightening technique to ensure a leak-free seal on large-diameter 35mm piping.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for drinking water?

Yes, this product is fully WRAS approved, making it safe and compliant for use in drinking water systems.

Can I use this for gas piping?

Yes, the PRIMA CLASSIC compression adaptor is designed for use in both water and gas system installations.

What is the standard it adheres to?

This fitting is manufactured to the EN 1254 standard for plumbing components.

Do I need to solder this fitting?

No, this is a compression fitting. It relies on the mechanical compression of an olive to create a seal and requires no heat or soldering.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a pipe cutter suitable for 35mm pipe, a file or deburring tool, and a large adjustable wrench to tighten the compression nuts.

Troubleshooting

Leak detected at the compression joint

Ensure the pipe end is square and burr-free, then tighten the compression nut by an additional quarter turn.

Fitting will not slide onto the pipe

Check the pipe for dents or deformities; ensure the compression nut and olive are fully backed off before insertion.

Difficulty threading the 1 1/4 end

Verify that the mating thread is 1 1/4 inch BSP and use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape if required for your specific application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable brass construction
  • Fully WRAS approved for drinking water safety
  • Manufactured to rigorous EN 1254 standards
  • Suitable for both water and gas infrastructure

Cons

  • Requires precise pipe cutting to ensure effective sealing
  • Larger 35mm size requires more physical force during tightening
  • Not intended for non-compatible pipe materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the 35mm pipe is cut perfectly square and is free from burrs or scratches, as surface irregularities can compromise the compression seal. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe before inserting the pipe fully into the fitting body. Tighten the nut by hand until finger-tight, then use a suitable large-capacity wrench to apply the final turns required to compress the olive securely. Avoid overtightening, which can distort the fitting. For maintenance, periodically inspect the joint for signs of moisture or corrosion; however, once correctly installed, these brass fittings are largely maintenance-free. Always ensure that the threaded end is compatible with the 1 1/4 inch female requirement of your specific system components.
