FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this pipe reducer?

The Manissa Radiator & Towel Rail Valve Pipe Reducer is used to convert 15mm pipework so that it can connect to radiator or towel rail valves designed for 10mm pipe connections.

Can I use this reducer with both copper and plastic pipes?

Yes, this reducer is suitable for use with both copper and plastic pipework.

What types of radiator valves are compatible?

These reducers are designed to fit any standard 1/2" - 15mm valve, including straight, angled, and corner valve types.

How is the reducer installed?

Installation involves loosening the valve's locking ring, inserting the reducer, adjusting its protrusion if needed using the 19mm tail, and then tightening the valve locking nut.

What does the 19mm tail length refer to?

The 19mm tail length refers to the part of the reducer that inserts into the valve. This length can be adjusted to manage the distance the reducer protrudes from the valve base, aiding installation.

Is this product sold individually or as a pair?

This product is sold as a pair.

What is the maximum pipe size this reducer can accommodate?

The reducer is designed to accept 15mm pipework and reduce it to fit a valve designed for 10mm pipe connections.

Troubleshooting

Leak detected at the valve connection

Ensure the valve locking nut is sufficiently tightened over the reducer. Check that the 15mm pipe is fully inserted into the reducer and that the reducer is correctly seated within the valve. Inspect both the reducer and valve for any damage.

Reducer does not fit securely into the valve

Verify that you are using a standard 1/2" - 15mm valve. Ensure no debris is present inside the valve where the reducer is inserted. Confirm that the reducer is the correct model for the intended pipe size conversion.

Difficulty connecting 15mm pipe to the reducer

Ensure the 15mm pipe end is clean and free of burrs. If using plastic pipe, ensure it is properly prepared according to manufacturer guidelines. The reducer is designed to accept standard 15mm pipe fittings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Valve: Loosen the locking ring on your existing radiator or towel rail valve.
  2. Insert the Reducer: Place the pipe reducer into the valve body. Ensure the 15mm pipe can connect securely to the wider end of the reducer.
  3. Adjust Protrusion: Utilize the 19mm tail length to adjust how far the reducer sits within the valve, ensuring it aligns correctly with your pipework.
  4. Tighten the Valve: Securely tighten the valve's locking nut over the reducer to create a watertight seal.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Sizes: Designed to convert from 15mm pipework to fit valves requiring 10mm pipe connections.
  • Pipe Materials: Suitable for use with both copper and plastic pipework.
  • Valve Types: Fits any standard 1/2" - 15mm radiator or towel rail valve, including straight, angled, and corner configurations.

Care Instructions:

These reducers are typically made from durable materials and require minimal care. Ensure connections are tightened appropriately during installation to prevent leaks. Regular checks of your radiator system for any signs of corrosion or leaks are recommended. No specific cleaning agents are required for the reducer itself; any cleaning should be part of general radiator system maintenance.
