• Time-Saving Installation: The integrated solder ring reduces the need for additional materials and speeds up the fitting process.

• Reliable Seal: Designed for long-term leak protection in pressurised and non-pressurised systems.

• Compact Profile: Ideal for tight spaces or areas where minimal protrusion is required.

• Suitable for Domestic and Commercial Use: Meets the requirements for modern plumbing systems in homes, offices, and public buildings.

Typical Applications

• Reducing main water lines to smaller branch pipes

• Connecting pipework to lower-flow outlets or fixtures

• Transitioning between radiator and boiler connections

• Space-saving installations behind walls or beneath flooring

• Use in central heating, potable water, and closed-loop systems

Installation Instructions

1. Pipe Preparation: Cut the copper pipe squarely and deburr all edges for a smooth fit.

2. Surface Cleaning: Clean both pipe ends and the inside of the reducer using emery cloth or a wire brush.

3. Apply Flux: For optimal solder flow, apply a thin layer of flux to the pipe ends before assembly.

4. Insert Pipe: Push the pipes into the reducer fitting until fully seated.

5. Apply Heat: Use an appropriate gas torch to heat the fitting evenly. The solder ring will melt and create a strong seal.

6. Cooling Period: Allow the fitting to cool naturally. Do not disturb the joint during cooling.

7. Pressure Testing: Once cooled, test the system to ensure leak-free performance.

Care and Maintenance

• Storage: Store in a dry, sealed container to prevent premature oxidation of the solder.

• Handling: Avoid dropping or crushing the fittings to maintain structural integrity.

• Pre-Installation Check: Inspect the solder ring for any visible damage or contamination before use.

• Post-Installation: Occasionally inspect visible joints for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in high-use systems.

• Replacement: Always replace damaged or corroded reducers with new fittings to maintain system reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What materials are compatible with the SR6 reducer?
The SR6 is designed for use with standard copper pipes and should only be used in copper-to-copper installations.

Do I need extra solder?
No. The integrated solder ring contains enough solder to form a complete seal under standard conditions. Flux is still recommended.

Can this be used in central heating systems?
Yes, the SR6 reducer is compatible with closed-loop central heating systems as well as potable hot and cold water systems.
