This Home Range Brass Compression Adaptor is designed for plumbers and DIY users needing to connect 15mm copper pipe to a 1/4" BSP male threaded fitting. Its key benefit is providing a secure and reliable transition between different pipe and fitting sizes, commonly required in plumbing and heating installations. A potential caveat is ensuring the correct pipe size and thread type are used for compatibility. Key features include robust brass construction, a compression inlet for a leak-free seal, and a male BSP threaded outlet.

Its primary purpose is to connect a 15mm copper pipe to a fitting with a 1/4" BSP male thread, acting as a transition piece in plumbing systems.
No, this is a compression fitting for the 15mm pipe side, which does not require soldering. The BSP thread connects to a female thread, usually requiring sealant but not soldering.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is a standardized thread form used for mechanical joints and the assembly of pipes and fittings. 1/4" BSP refers to the nominal size of the thread.
This adaptor is designed for water and heating systems. It is not certified or recommended for use with gas lines.
The 15mm side is designed to connect to standard 15mm copper pipe using a compression olive and nut.
Ensure the copper pipe is correctly inserted, the olive is properly seated, and the compression nut is tightened securely with appropriate tools. Overtightening can damage the pipe or fitting.
The adaptor is constructed from solid brass, providing durability and resistance to corrosion.
Ensure the olive is correctly seated and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the copper pipe for damage or deformation. Re-tighten the nut; if the leak persists, the olive or pipe may be compromised, and replacement may be necessary.
Verify that PTFE tape or pipe sealant was applied to the male thread. Ensure the BSP female fitting is compatible and undamaged. Try re-tightening the connection or re-applying sealant and re-connecting.
Ensure the pipe end is clean, round, and free of burrs. If the pipe is slightly deformed, a pipe re-rounding tool may be needed. Do not force the pipe; ensure it's properly prepared.
