AKW End Feed Copper Fittings, Pipe & Soldering Supplies – Choice of Item

AKW End Feed Copper Fittings, Pipe & Soldering Supplies – Choice of Item

AKW end feed fittings are the simple, low-cost way to join copper pipe for hot and cold water supplies. The pipe and fitting are cleaned and fluxed, heated, and solder is run into the joint to make a strong, permanent, leak-free seal. End feed joints are neat and compact, which makes them ideal where pipework will be on show or space is tight.

This range brings together 15mm end feed couplings, elbows, street elbows, tees, stop ends, 22mm x 15mm reducers and straight tap connectors, plus 15mm copper pipe, pipe clips and spacers, flux and lead-free solder.

Key features & benefits

• Inexpensive, compact way to join copper pipe
• Suitable for hot and cold domestic water supplies above ground
• Strong, durable, leak-free joints when correctly made
• Straight tap connectors for 1/2" and 3/4" tap tails
• Lead-free solder suitable for drinking water pipework
• Pipe clips and spacers for neat pipe runs
• Trade packs leave spares for future jobs

Choosing what you need

Plan the pipe run, then choose couplings to join lengths, elbows and street elbows for turns, tees for branches and stop ends to cap redundant pipes. Tap connectors join copper pipe to a tap tail: 15mm x 1/2" for basin taps, 15mm or 22mm x 3/4" for bath taps. Support the pipe at regular intervals with pipe clips, using spacers to stand it off the wall. Always use flux and lead-free solder on drinking water supplies. Soldering needs a blowtorch – where hot works are not allowed, use compression or push-fit fittings instead.

Why buy your fittings with your bathroom?

Ordering the pipe, fittings and connectors alongside your AKW bathroom products means everything arrives together and the installer is not held up by a missing part. Most fittings come in handy trade pack sizes, so there are spares left in the toolbox for the next job.
