Unavoidable installation errors – can they be prevented?
Installing an installation is quite a precise job, but even the most experienced installers make mistakes. Time pressure, difficult conditions on the construction site or unexpected changes in the project - all of this increases the risk that something will go wrong.
The most common problems that may occur during installation are:
- Insufficiently tightened or imprecisely crimped connector, leading to leaks.
- An incorrectly prepared pipe will not ensure a tight connection and proper operation of the installation.
- Damage to connectors or other accessories during installation.
In such situations, traditional connectors that require soldering or those that are pressed can be problematic – they cannot be reused. This means a waste of time spent on assembly and, above all, a waste of materials.
Although everyone makes mistakes, you can minimize the risk of them by following a few rules:
- Accurately match pipes and fittings – Make sure that all components are properly matched in terms of diameter and material and that they are well prepared for assembly (e.g. deburring the pipe).
- Use the right tools – Too much pressure or improper tools can damage the connector.
- Always pressure test – Pressure test your connection to make sure everything is working properly.
- Choose universal solutions – Multiple-assembly connectors allow you to correct errors without wasting material and without generating additional costs.
However, if you happen to install a fitting that later turns out to be a bad fit, don't worry, there are solutions that will eliminate this problem.
Why do re-assembly connectors have great advantages?
- Savings and elimination of material waste : No need to throw away a fitting after one mistake – simply correct the assembly and reinstall the fitting.
- Improved Connection : If a design requires modification, these connectors allow for easy changes at no extra cost. Plus, it means no downtime and the job is completed faster.
- Safety : No need to use an open flame increases work safety.
- Versatile : These fittings are suitable for both copper and stainless steel pipes.
- Durability and reliability : After reassembly, the installation remains tight and reliable.
How do Conex Compression and >B< Oyster work?
Conex Compression fittings are one of the most versatile solutions on the market. Thanks to the brass compression ring, they allow for multiple tightening and disassembly without losing tightness. However, it is important to replace the compression ring with a new one when using the same connector again.
Key benefits:
- Screwed connection, no soldering.
- Made of high quality brass, resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage.
- Ideal for water, heating and cooling installations, as well as drinking water.
>B< Oyster – innovation for demanding projects
Conex >B< Oyster are transition connectors with external threads, used to connect the pipe system with elements with internal threads. Thanks to the use of two EPDM O-rings, they guarantee maximum tightness and durability even in difficult conditions.
What makes them different?
- Two EPDM O-rings: This ensures exceptional tightness even after any connection correction
- Speed of connection
- They do not require complicated and expensive tools for assembly – simple pliers are enough
- Installation without open flame increases work safety
When is it worth choosing re-assembly connectors?
Conex Compression and >B< Oyster connectors are best suited for projects where:
- What counts is time, quick installation, and any corrections will not cause downtime.
- Modifications to installations are required.
- Safety is important – the lack of open flames minimizes risk on the construction site.
- There is no possibility of using expensive and complicated tools for assembly
Install without stress and save time
A poorly installed connector is really not the end of the world. Such situations happen even to very experienced specialists. With solutions such as Conex Compression and >B< Oyster connectors, you can quickly correct errors without compromising the quality of the installation and saving yourself time.
