FAQs

Are PLASSON taps suitable for cold weather?

Yes. PLASSON's Artic tap range can withstand temperatures down to –20°C. They have been designed with an elasticity in the body that is able to absorb the increase in volume caused by icing. Once the temperatures rise again and the ice melts, the body returns to it's original form sealing the tap from leaks.

Do I have to use jointing pastes?

PLASSON BSP threads must be assembled with PTFE tape to ensure a leak free joint, they do not recommend using jointing pastes.

How easy is it to install a mechanical fitting?

PLASSON uses a simple three step procedure to install pipe into a mechanical fitting. Detailed here are the fitting instructions for metric fittings ranging from 20mm to 110 mm and imperial fittings ½” - 2”

1. Insert liner into pipe (metric 20mm-63mm only) and slacken nut until half the thread is visible.
2. Push pipe into body, through the nut, split ring, and ‘O’ ring.
3. Tighten nut firmly: Hand tight on pipe 20mm (½”) – 32mm (1”), on pipe 40mm (1 ¼”) and above use a PLASSON wrench.

Note: Lubrication of the pipe end will ease insertion (use silicon lubricant).
