Key Features & Benefits
WRAS Approved for Potable Water Use
These reducers are fully certified by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS), ensuring legal compliance for use in drinking water systems in the UK. Their WRAS approval reflects the product’s quality, safety, and suitability for domestic and commercial installations.
Smooth End Feed Connection for Soldering
Designed for traditional end feed soldering techniques, these fittings create strong, leak-resistant joints when used with solder and flux. The smooth inner and outer surfaces ensure uniform heat distribution and effective bonding.
Durable Copper Construction
Manufactured from high-grade copper, these reducers are resistant to corrosion and mechanical wear. Their robust build quality ensures long-lasting performance, especially in concealed or inaccessible pipework runs.
Versatile Compatibility
Ideal for adapting between standard UK pipe sizes, including 22mm to 15mm, 15mm to 10mm, and 15mm to 8mm, these reducers support a wide range of installations—from radiator circuits to hot/cold water lines and microbore heating systems.
Installer-Friendly Packs
Each product is supplied in a Pack of 10, making them cost-effective and convenient for trade professionals, installers, and maintenance teams managing multiple or large-scale jobs.
Typical Applications
-
Reducing pipe size in copper plumbing systems
-
Heating circuits (e.g., reducing flow or return lines to microbore)
-
Potable water supply systems
-
Domestic renovation and retrofit jobs
-
New build plumbing frameworks
-
Linking copper piping of different sizes for tight-space solutions
Installation Guidelines
-
Prepare the Pipes: Cut the copper pipes to the required length and clean both the pipe ends and the reducer using an abrasive pad or wire wool.
-
Apply Flux: Evenly apply a suitable plumbing flux to the pipe and inside the fitting.
-
Assemble the Joint: Insert the pipe ends into the reducer until fully seated.
-
Heat & Solder: Apply heat evenly with a blowtorch and feed solder into the joint when the correct temperature is reached. Allow solder to flow all around the joint.
-
Cool & Clean: Let the joint cool naturally, then wipe off any flux residue with a damp cloth.
Important: Always follow local plumbing regulations and use WRAS-approved flux and lead-free solder when working on potable water systems.
Maintenance & Safety
-
These are permanent fittings—once installed and soldered, they cannot be reused.
-
Inspect joints periodically in accessible systems for signs of corrosion or leakage.
-
Ensure proper ventilation during soldering to avoid exposure to flux fumes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use these reducers with plastic pipework?
No. These fittings are intended for use with copper pipe only in traditional end feed soldering systems.
Q: Are these fittings suitable for hot water systems?
Yes. They are suitable for both hot and cold water systems, including central heating.
Q: What type of solder should I use?
Use lead-free solder for potable water systems to ensure WRAS compliance. For heating circuits, standard solder may also be used.
Q: Is WRAS approval necessary for private residential systems?
WRAS approval is strongly recommended for any system involving drinking water, even in private properties, to guarantee material safety and regulatory compliance.
