What is the primary application for this product?
It is ideal for conveying water and other fluids in infrastructure, industrial, mining, landscape, and farming applications, specifically for converting from PVC to galvanised copper pipes.
How should I care for the adaptor?
When not installed, protect the adaptor from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Inspect connections periodically.
Troubleshooting
Leaking connection
Ensure both pipes are fully inserted and properly aligned within the adaptor. Check that the pipes are clean and free from damage at the connection point. Verify the system is operating within cold water parameters.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Confirm you are using the correct size PVC (25mm) and galvanised copper (1/2") pipes. Ensure the pipe ends are not deformed or damaged. Slightly wetting the pipe ends can sometimes ease insertion.
Adaptor does not seal properly
Re-seat the pipes firmly. Ensure the rubber seal inside the adaptor is intact and not compromised. This adaptor is designed for cold water; ensure the system is not experiencing high temperatures.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install, ensure both the PVC pipe and the galvanised copper pipe are clean and free from debris. Simply push the PVC pipe into one end of the adaptor and the galvanised copper pipe into the other until fully seated. The high-quality rubber within the adaptor will grip the pipes to create a secure, watertight seal. No tools are required for this process.
Compatibility: This adaptor is specifically designed to connect standard 25mm PVC water pipes with 1/2" galvanised copper pipes. It is suitable for cold water systems only.
Care: As the adaptor relies on a rubber seal, it should be protected from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not installed. Regularly inspect the connection point for any signs of wear or damage, although its durable construction minimizes maintenance needs.
