Key Features and Benefits

WRAS-Approved for Potable Water

Compliance with WRAS certification ensures that these couplings are suitable for use in systems carrying drinking water. This makes them ideal for use in residential, commercial, and public buildings where regulatory compliance is essential.

Reliable End Feed Solder Connection

The end feed design allows for a strong and permanent connection through soldering, creating a watertight seal with copper pipe. This type of joint is favored by professionals for its compact size and long-lasting durability.

Clean, Compact Form Factor

Unlike mechanical fittings, end feed couplings are streamlined and unobtrusive, ideal for installations in confined spaces or behind finished surfaces.

High Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Made from robust copper alloy materials, these couplings are engineered to withstand high temperatures, pressures, and prolonged exposure to water flow, without degrading or corroding.

Efficient Packaging for Trade Use

Sold in packs of 10, these couplings are designed with contractors and installers in mind—reducing repeat purchasing and optimizing job site efficiency.

Typical Applications

• Domestic and commercial potable water systems

• Central heating installations

• Pipework extensions or repairs

• Solder-based copper piping projects

• Bathroom and kitchen refurbishments

• New build and retrofitting installations

Installation Instructions

1. Preparation: Cut the copper pipe squarely and clean the ends thoroughly using an abrasive cloth or wire wool.

2. Apply Flux: Use a suitable plumbing flux on the cleaned pipe ends and inside the coupling.

3. Insert Pipes: Slide the coupling onto both ends of the pipe, ensuring it fits fully.

4. Solder Joint: Use a suitable blowtorch to heat the joint evenly and feed solder into the connection until a full ring is formed around the fitting.

5. Cool & Wipe: Allow the joint to cool and wipe away excess flux to prevent corrosion.

6. Test System: Conduct a pressure test once the full installation is complete to verify the integrity of the joints.

Note: Always follow manufacturer and local building regulations when installing end feed fittings.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect soldered joints during routine checks, especially in high-pressure systems.

• Use lead-free solder for all potable water systems to ensure safety and compliance.

• Do not overheat – apply heat uniformly to avoid damaging the pipe or fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can these couplings be used on plastic pipe?
No. Securplumb End Feed Couplings are designed specifically for copper pipework and are not compatible with plastic or multi-layer piping.

Q: Do I need special tools to install these fittings?
Yes. You will require a pipe cutter, flux, lead-free solder, and a suitable blowtorch for the soldering process.

Q: Are these fittings approved for use with drinking water?
Absolutely. These couplings are WRAS approved, making them fully compliant with UK standards for potable water systems.

Q: What makes end feed different from compression fittings?
End feed fittings rely on a soldered connection for a leak-free bond, whereas compression fittings use mechanical joints. End feed joints are smaller and more discreet, ideal for finished installations.
