Key Features and Benefits

WRAS-Approved for Water Safety Compliance

These connectors meet the stringent standards of the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), making them legally compliant for use in systems supplying drinking water. This ensures peace of mind for installers, inspectors, and end users alike.

Reliable Compression Fit

The compression design allows for a robust, watertight seal between the pipe and the connector without the need for heat or soldering. It simplifies the installation process and provides long-term security against leaks.

Versatile Application

Perfect for use in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and commercial environments where taps or appliances require a reliable, high-performance connection to the water supply.

High-Quality Brass Construction

Made from solid brass, the connectors offer excellent resistance to corrosion, temperature fluctuations, and water pressure—ensuring durability over many years of service.

Pre-Packaged in Sets of 5

Ideal for contractors or trade use, each pack includes five tap connectors to suit multi-point installations or repeat jobs.

Common Applications

• Kitchen sink tap installations

• Bathroom basin or bath tap fittings

• Appliance connections (e.g., dishwashers, washing machines with BSP inlets)

• Domestic and commercial potable water systems

• Repairs and upgrades in plumbing networks

Installation Guidelines

1. Prepare Pipe: Cut the pipe to length and ensure the end is clean and free of burrs.

2. Insert Pipe into Compression End: Slide the compression nut and olive onto the pipe.

3. Thread BSP End to Tap/Fitting: Screw the BSP end onto the male-threaded fitting or tap.

4. Tighten: Use appropriate spanners to tighten both the compression fitting and the BSP thread—avoid over-tightening.

5. Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and inspect the connection. Re-tighten slightly if necessary.

Note: Always follow local plumbing codes and WRAS installation guidelines.

Care & Maintenance

• Routine Inspection: Check connections periodically for signs of wear or corrosion.

• Avoid Over-Tightening: Excessive force can deform the compression components.

• Replace if Damaged: If signs of stress, cracking, or pitting occur, replace the fitting promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does WRAS approval mean?
WRAS approval certifies that the fitting meets water safety regulations and is suitable for use in drinking water systems.

Q: Can this be installed without a plumber?
While DIY installation is possible, it’s recommended that a qualified person performs plumbing work to ensure compliance and safety.

Q: Are PTFE tape or jointing compounds needed?
PTFE tape may be used on the BSP thread for added sealing if required, but the compression joint itself does not need any sealing compounds.
