The Plumbright copper hose is an essential component for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require a durable, rigid connection for residential or commercial fluid transfer systems. Measuring 22mm by 22mm with a 30cm length, it provides a stable and leak-resistant link between plumbing fixtures, though it requires precise pipe cutting and proper soldering skills to ensure a perfect, long-lasting installation.

No, this is a rigid copper component and should not be bent manually as it may kink or fracture. Use appropriate 22mm elbow fittings for turns.
This product is designed for fluid transfer in plumbing systems. Always consult local building codes regarding specific materials allowed for gas installation.
Yes, you will need a pipe cutter and either a set of spanners for compression fittings or a blowtorch and solder for traditional jointing.
Yes, copper is excellent for hot water applications due to its high thermal conductivity and ability to withstand high temperatures.
The 30cm dimension refers to the length of the copper hose itself. Ensure you account for the depth of your fittings when measuring your pipe run.
If using compression fittings, tighten the nut by another quarter turn. If soldered, clean the joint, re-apply flux, and re-heat to seal properly.
Carefully trim the hose to the required length using a rotary pipe cutter to ensure a perfectly square, clean end.
Minor surface oxidation is normal for copper; if corrosion is deep, inspect for environmental moisture and consider wrapping the pipe in protective insulation.
Before installation, ensure your existing pipework is clean and free from burrs using a pipe deburring tool. For secure connections, use appropriate 22mm compression fittings or sweat-solder the joints according to local plumbing standards. Always measure your span twice before cutting to ensure the 30cm length provides the exact fit required, as there is no "give" in the material. To maintain the integrity of the copper, avoid exposure to harsh acidic chemicals during installation and use a high-quality flux compatible with copper piping to prevent future oxidation at the joints. Regularly inspect the connection for signs of green patina or mineral buildup, which may indicate a microscopic leak that requires tightening or re-sealing.
