Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: What does “pre soldered” mean?
Pre soldered means the fitting has already been soldered (brazed) in the factory, creating a permanent, watertight joint. This eliminates the need for soldering on site.

Q2: Can this fitting be used with plastic pipes?
No. This fitting is designed for copper pipe connections only.

Q3: Is this suitable for hot water systems?
Yes, it is suitable for both hot and cold water systems, including central heating.

Q4: What standards does this fitting comply with?
Securplumb fittings meet industry plumbing standards for quality and safety, ensuring reliable performance.

Q5: How do I know which side connects to which pipe size?
The larger opening (22mm) fits the 22mm pipe, and the smaller end (15mm) fits the 15mm pipe. Both ends are sized accordingly.

Q6: Can I use this reducer for gas pipe installations?
This fitting is designed specifically for water and heating systems. Use only gas-approved fittings for gas installations.
