FAQs

What type of solder should I use?

Use solder specifically designed for copper pipe and plumbing applications.

Can I use this fitting on plastic pipes?

No, this fitting is only for use with copper pipes.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 25-year guarantee.

How do I ensure a leak-free joint?

Follow the proper installation steps, ensuring the pipe and fitting are clean, flux is applied correctly, and the solder flows evenly.

Can I use this fitting for high-pressure systems?

It is suitable for low-pressure domestic gas installations and hot and cold water systems, but not typically for high-pressure applications.

What standards does this fitting comply with?

This fitting is manufactured to EN1254-1 standards with kitemark and WRAS certifications.

How do I remove a soldered joint?

You will need to apply heat with a blowtorch to melt the solder and separate the fitting from the pipe. Exercise caution and wear appropriate safety gear.

Is flux necessary?

Yes, flux is essential as it cleans the copper and promotes solder flow for a strong, reliable joint.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation

Check the soldering. Reheat the joint and add more solder if needed. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the joint is clean.

Difficulty soldering the joint

Ensure the pipe and fitting are clean. Apply sufficient flux. Use the correct type of solder and apply heat evenly.

Reduced water flow

Check for obstructions within the pipe or fitting. Ensure the joint is properly aligned and there are no kinks in the pipe.
