Product Information

Full details

The Prima Plus Solder Ring Wallplate Straight is an essential plumbing component designed for professional installers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require secure, wall-mounted connections for 15mm copper pipework. By featuring a pre-inserted solder ring, this fitting drastically simplifies the brazing process, ensuring consistent joints that meet rigorous safety standards. While it provides excellent reliability for both water and gas systems, users should note that it requires proficient use of a blowtorch for the capillary soldering process to achieve a leak-free seal.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

Yes, this fitting is suitable for gas plumbing applications provided it is installed by a qualified professional.

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

No, this is a solder-ring fitting designed exclusively for copper pipework.

What is the size of the threaded outlet?

The outlet is a 1/2 inch female threaded connection.

Do I need to buy extra solder?

No, the fitting includes an integrated solder ring, so no additional solder wire is required for the joint.

Is this product safe for drinking water?

Yes, it is WRAS approved, meaning it is certified for use in systems carrying potable drinking water.

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after cooling.

The joint likely did not reach the correct temperature. Clean the area, re-flux, and re-heat to allow the solder to fully melt and fill the gap.

Solder won't flow.

Ensure the pipe is cleaned of all oxidation and that sufficient flux is applied; check that the heat source is reaching the fitting consistently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation times due to integrated solder
  • High-quality material compliant with EN 1254 standards
  • WRAS approval makes it safe for drinking water lines
  • Sturdy construction ensures a leak-free, permanent connection

Cons

  • Requires open-flame equipment for proper installation
  • Not suitable for use with plastic pipe systems
  • Requires basic proficiency in soldering techniques

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the copper pipe end is clean, burr-free, and polished with fine steel wool or a pipe cleaning pad. Apply a small amount of flux to the pipe end before inserting it into the wallplate. Use a blowtorch to heat the fitting evenly until the pre-inserted solder ring flows, creating a capillary seal around the pipe. Once the joint is completed, wipe away any excess flux with a damp cloth to prevent corrosion. The fitting is specifically designed for 15mm copper pipe. Periodically inspect the joint for signs of moisture or discoloration, which may indicate a need for maintenance if the pipe was not properly prepped.
