Primaflow Prima Plus Solder Ring Part Crossover 15mm

No, the Prima Plus Solder Ring fittings come with integrated solder, so no additional solder is required for installation.

Yes, the Primaflow Prima Plus Solder Ring fittings are suitable for use with gas installations, provided they meet local regulations and standards for gas pipework.

This specific fitting is designed for 15mm copper pipe.

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been checked and meets the required standards for use with public water supplies in the UK, ensuring it does not contaminate drinking water.

Proper preparation is key: ensure the pipe and fitting are clean and dry, apply flux correctly, heat the fitting evenly, and allow the joint to cool undisturbed.

It is manufactured to EN 1254 standards and is Kite Marked to BS standards, indicating high quality and compliance with British safety and performance requirements.

The joint may not have been heated sufficiently or evenly. Ensure the torch flame is applied to the fitting body, not the pipe, and that the solder has fully melted and flowed. Reheat the joint carefully or consider replacing the fitting if the issue persists after attempting to reheat.

Check if the pipe and fitting surfaces were properly cleaned and fluxed. Ensure the heat source is adequate and applied correctly to the fitting. Excessive heat can burn off the flux prematurely.

Reduce the heat applied and move the torch more rapidly. Ensure the surrounding area is protected from excessive heat. Allow the fitting to cool completely before attempting to reheat if necessary.
