Premium Brass Compression Fittings (BSP) - Secure, Leak-Free Connections

Experience unmatched reliability and effortless installation with our high-quality Brass Compression Fittings, engineered for BSP threaded systems.

Product Overview

Our Brass Compression Fittings are the ultimate solution for creating strong, leak-proof connections in a wide range of plumbing and heating applications. Crafted from durable, corrosion-resistant brass, these fittings offer a robust and long-lasting alternative to soldering or welding. The innovative compression mechanism creates a reliable, high-pressure seal with just a spanner, making installation quick, clean, and accessible for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Designed specifically for British Standard Pipe (BSP) threaded connections, they ensure seamless compatibility with existing systems globally.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Superior Brass Construction:
  • Made from high-grade, forged brass (typically CW617N or equivalent), ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, dezincification, and high temperatures.
  • Suitable for potable water applications, maintaining water purity and safety.
• Effortless Compression Seal:
  • No need for soldering, welding, or specialized heat tools. A simple tightening action compresses the olive (ferrule) onto the pipe, creating an immediate, watertight seal.
  • Significantly reduces installation time and labor costs.
• Reliable Leak-Free Performance:
  • Engineered for maximum sealing integrity, providing a secure, long-lasting connection that stands up to demanding conditions and prevents costly leaks.
• Broad Compatibility (BSP):
  • Features precisely machined BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, ensuring perfect compatibility with existing BSP plumbing and fixtures (typically BSPT taper for external threads, BSPP parallel for internal threads, but always check product specifics).
• Versatile Pipe Compatibility:
  • Ideal for use with a variety of pipe materials including copper, PEX (with appropriate inserts), plastic, and other rigid or semi-rigid pipes.
• Removable & Reusable:
  • Unlike soldered joints, compression fittings can be easily disassembled and reassembled, offering flexibility for modifications, maintenance, or repositioning (though replacement olives are recommended for re-connections).
• Wide Range of Types & Sizes:
  • Available in a comprehensive selection of configurations including straight connectors, elbows, tees, reducers, stop ends, and adaptors, to meet every piping requirement.
• High Pressure & Temperature Rating:
  • Designed to perform reliably across a broad range of operating pressures and temperatures common in domestic and light industrial systems.

Typical Applications:

• Domestic & Commercial Plumbing: Hot and cold-water supply lines, bathroom and kitchen installations.
• Central Heating Systems: Radiator connections, boiler pipework, underfloor heating manifolds.
• Industrial Pipework: Low-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic systems, general fluid transfer.
• HVAC Systems: Air conditioning and ventilation pipe connections.
• Gas Installations: (Ensure fittings are specifically rated for gas and installed by a qualified professional).
• Garden & Irrigation Systems: Connecting various pipe types for water distribution.

Available Types & Common Sizes:

We offer a comprehensive selection to suit your project needs, including:

• Connectors: Straight, Reducing, Adaptor (Male/Female)
• Elbows: 90-degree, 45-degree
• Tees: Equal, Reducing
• Valves: Isolation, Service
• Stop Ends / Blanking Plugs
• Tank Connectors

Common sizes include: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", and 2" BSP (refer to individual product listings for specific available sizes).

Simple, Secure Installation:

1. Preparation: Ensure pipe ends are cut square and deburred to prevent damage to the olive and ensure a proper seal.
2. Assembly: Slide the compression nut onto the pipe, followed by the brass olive (ferrule).
3. Insertion: Insert the pipe end fully into the body of the brass fitting.
4. Tighten: Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body, then use a wrench to tighten firmly until secure. Do not over-tighten; a firm, snug connection is sufficient.

Technical Specifications (General):

• Material: High-Grade Forged Brass (e.g., CW617N)
• Thread Standard: BSP (British Standard Pipe – typically BSPT taper external, BSPP parallel internal)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 16 bar (232 PSI) (Specific pressure ratings vary by fitting type and size; refer to individual product data sheets.)
• Temperature Range: -20°C to +120°C (-4°F to +248°F)
• Compliance: Conforms to relevant ISO and EN standards. (WRAS approval available for specific potable water fittings).

Important Notes:

• Gas Applications: For gas installations, it is essential to use fittings specifically rated and approved for gas and to have installation performed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
• Pipe Inserts: When connecting to plastic or PEX piping, always use appropriate pipe inserts to prevent pipe collapse and ensure a reliable seal.
• Over-tightening: Avoid excessive tightening of the compression nut, as this can deform the pipe or fitting and compromise the seal. A firm, wrench-tightened connection is adequate.
