This guide is for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts working with copper piping systems. The Primaflow Solder Ring Reducing Coupling offers a time-saving and reliable solution for connecting pipes of different sizes (22mm to 15mm). Its integrated solder eliminates the need for additional flux and solder, simplifying the installation process. However, users must ensure proper heating and joint preparation for a secure connection.

'Solder Ring' refers to the fitting having a ring of solder pre-placed inside the socket. When the fitting is heated, this solder melts and forms the joint, eliminating the need for external solder.
Yes, the Primaflow PrimaPlus Solder Ring fittings are WRAS approved, making them safe and compliant for use with potable (drinking) water systems.
No, flux is not required because the fitting contains integrated solder, which acts as the flux and solder combined when heated.
EN 1254 is a European standard that specifies requirements for copper and copper alloy fittings for copper tubes used in plumbing applications, ensuring quality and performance.
PrimaPlus Solder Ring fittings can be used for gas installations, but you must ensure compliance with all local regulations and building codes for gas pipework, and use appropriate joining techniques for gas.
You will need a propane torch for heating, emery cloth or a pipe cleaner for preparing the pipes, and basic pipe cutting tools.
The BS Kite Mark is a voluntary British certification mark indicating that a product conforms to relevant British Standards, signifying quality and reliability.
The joint was likely not heated sufficiently or evenly, or the solder did not fully penetrate. The joint will need to be reheated, ensuring proper temperature, and allowing the solder to flow completely. If persistent, the fitting may need to be cut out and replaced.
Ensure the fitting and pipes are heated to the correct temperature. The heat may be insufficient or applied too quickly. Also, check that the pipes are clean and properly inserted into the fitting.
Overheating can damage the copper and the integrated solder. Allow the fitting to cool completely. If the structural integrity is compromised, it should be replaced. Ensure heat is applied evenly to the body of the fitting, not directly to the solder ring if visible.
Ensure the pipe is cut square, deburred, and clean. The fitting might have residue inside; clean both the pipe and fitting before attempting insertion.
