The Pepte 22mm x 3/4" BSP male compression adaptor is an essential component for DIY enthusiasts and professional plumbers looking for a reliable, solder-free transition between 22mm piping and 3/4" threaded female components. It offers a secure, leak-free connection constructed from durable brass that meets WRAS safety standards; however, users should ensure that the pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal olive seal during installation.

While the compression side creates its own seal, using a small amount of PTFE tape on the 3/4" BSP male thread is recommended to ensure a watertight connection to the female fitting.
This fitting is designed for 22mm rigid pipe. When using plastic pipe, you must use a pipe insert (stiffener) inside the pipe to maintain its shape under compression.
Yes, the brass construction is rated for standard hot and cold water plumbing systems.
It is generally recommended to use a new olive if you disconnect the fitting, as the original olive will have been permanently compressed and deformed by the previous installation.
You will need a pipe cutter (or hacksaw with a deburring tool) and two adjustable spanners or open-ended wrenches.
Ensure the pipe end is not scratched and the olive is seated correctly; tighten the nut slightly more. If the issue persists, the olive may be damaged and require replacement.
Check that the pipe end has been deburred correctly. A jagged or uneven cut will prevent proper insertion and risk damaging the internal seal.
Verify that the pipe is fully bottomed out in the fitting. Do not force the nut if it feels completely seized, as this may indicate cross-threading.
To install, ensure your 22mm pipe is cut square and completely free of burrs or scratches. Slide the nut and olive onto the pipe, then insert the pipe into the body of the adaptor. Tighten the nut by hand until firm, then use a suitable spanner or wrench to tighten further, typically by about half a turn to three-quarters of a turn. Avoid using excessive force, as this can crush the pipe or distort the seal. Compatibility is limited to standard 22mm outer diameter piping and 3/4" BSP female thread ports. Periodically check the connection for signs of dampness or mineral buildup to ensure the integrity of the seal remains intact over time.
