The Prima Plus Solder Ring Fitting Reducer is designed for professional plumbers and experienced DIYers who need to transition between different pipe diameters efficiently. Its primary benefit is the pre-integrated solder ring, which significantly reduces installation time by removing the requirement for manual solder application. While this simplifies the process, it requires precise heat application to ensure the integrated solder flows correctly throughout the joint for a leak-free seal.

No, the integrated solder ring provides the necessary amount of solder for a standard joint, eliminating the need for extra wire.
It is manufactured to the EN 1254 standard and carries the British Kite mark.
No, this is a solder-based copper fitting and is intended for use with copper piping only.
Ensure the pipe has been properly cleaned and fluxed. Re-apply heat evenly around the fitting to encourage capillary action.
Allow the fitting to cool completely, then inspect for voids. You may need to clean the joint and re-solder or replace the fitting if the pipe was damaged.
Use pipe clips or a jig to ensure the 15mm and 8mm pipes are held perfectly aligned while the solder is in a molten state.
For optimal results, ensure that both the pipe and the interior of the fitting are cleaned thoroughly with a wire brush or abrasive pad before applying flux. The fitting is compatible with standard 15mm and 8mm copper piping. To care for these installations, inspect the joints periodically for signs of oxidation or moisture. When heating, use a propane or MAPP gas torch, applying heat uniformly around the fitting until the solder ring becomes visible at the edge of the joint, indicating a complete seal. Avoid excessive heat, which can damage the temper of the copper.
