FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

Yes, Prima Classic endfeed fittings are suitable for use with gas systems, provided they are installed according to local regulations and by a qualified professional.

Does this require special tools?

Yes, you will need a standard plumbing torch, lead-free solder, flux, and pipe-cleaning abrasive materials.

What does WRAS approved mean?

It means the product has been tested to ensure it does not cause waste, misuse, or contamination of the public water supply.

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

No, this is a copper endfeed fitting designed specifically for copper-to-copper connections via soldering.

What is the benefit of a 'street' bend?

A street bend has one female end and one male end, which allows it to connect directly into another fitting, reducing the total number of connections in your system.

Troubleshooting

Solder fails to flow into the joint

The fitting or pipe may not be clean enough, or the temperature is too low. Ensure surfaces are polished bright and heat the joint until the flux liquidizes before applying solder.

Joint leaks after cooling

This is often caused by an air pocket or insufficient solder. Clean the joint, allow it to cool, and repeat the soldering process, ensuring the entire circumference of the joint receives solder.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this 22mm fitting, you will need a propane or MAPP gas torch, lead-free solder, and soldering flux.

  1. Preparation: Cut the 22mm copper pipe squarely and remove all burrs from the cut edges.
  2. Cleaning: Clean the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting using abrasive cloth or wire wool until bright.
  3. Application: Apply a thin, even layer of flux to both the cleaned pipe end and the interior of the fitting.
  4. Assembly: Insert the pipe into the fitting and rotate slightly to distribute the flux.
  5. Soldering: Heat the joint evenly. Once the flux bubbles, touch the solder to the edge of the fitting; capillary action will pull the solder into the joint.

For care, avoid using acidic pipe cleaners that may degrade copper over time. Regularly inspect joints in accessible areas for signs of green corrosion, which may indicate a slow leak or improper flux removal.
