    Solder Ring Fittings

    Solder Ring Fittings are copper pipe fittings that come pre-loaded with a ring of solder, providing a reliable, clean, and efficient solution for jointing copper pipework using heat without the need for external solder application.

    About Solder Ring Fittings

    Solder ring fittings, also known as Yorkshire fittings, simplify pipe jointing by incorporating solder within the fitting itself. Once heated with a blowtorch, the solder melts to create a watertight and permanent joint. They are commonly used in domestic and commercial plumbing and heating systems.

    These fittings are ideal for installers who require quick and clean joints with minimal preparation. They help reduce installation time and the risk of insufficient solder, making them popular for both experienced engineers and DIY applications.

    Benefits

    • Faster installation: Pre-loaded solder eliminates the need for adding solder manually.
    • Clean and efficient: Reduces mess and risk of over-application.
    • Reliable joint: Provides a strong, watertight seal when correctly heated.
    • Consistent quality: Factory-applied solder ensures even distribution.
    • Saves time on site: Ideal for repeat installations and tight spaces.

    Applications

    • Domestic and commercial plumbing systems.
    • Heating systems including radiators and boilers.
    • Potable (drinking) water pipework (where suitable).
    • Bathroom, kitchen, and utility pipe installations.
    • New builds and retrofit installations.

    Key Features

    • Pre-loaded solder ring for quick coupling.
    • Made from high-quality copper.
    • Available in various formats: elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, and stop ends.
    • Typically compatible with 8mm, 10mm, 15mm, 22mm, and 28mm copper pipe.
    • Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature systems.
    • Minimises risk of dry joints when installed correctly.

    Installation & Technical Info

    Clean the pipe thoroughly and apply flux before inserting into the fitting. Heat evenly with a blowtorch until the solder melts and flows into the joint. Wipe away any excess once cooled. Do not overheat as this may cause incomplete bonding.

    Ensure the pipe is properly inserted and aligned before heating. Test for leaks once cooled. Follow WRAS or relevant safety regulations for potable water systems.
