Tap Connectors

Tap Connectors – Brass Compression Fittings are used to create secure and leak-proof connections between pipes and taps, commonly in domestic and commercial plumbing installations.

About Tap Connectors – Brass Compression Fittings

Tap connectors are designed to connect copper or plastic pipework to basin, bath, kitchen, or utility taps. Made from robust brass, these fittings use a compression mechanism to form a secure seal without the need for soldering. They are ideal for installations where access is limited or heat use is not practical.

These connectors are widely used in plumbing systems for hot and cold water applications and are suitable for both new installations and repair work.
