Frequently Asked Questions

What size pipes does this DIY plumbing kit fit?
All fittings in this kit are 1/2″ (approximately 15mm), the most common size used in Irish domestic water and heating systems. They are compatible with standard copper and chrome plumbing pipe used across Ireland.

Do I need any special tools to use these compression fittings?
No specialist tools are required. A pair of adjustable spanners is typically all you need to tighten standard compression fittings. PTFE tape is included to seal threaded joints.

What is the difference between an isolation (penny) valve and a lever valve?
A penny valve uses a flat screwdriver to turn the flow on or off and is ideal for behind-tap isolation. A lever valve has a quick-turn handle for faster shut-off, useful on visible pipework or appliance feeds.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. The DIY Plumbing Starter Kit is designed for first-time DIYers, homeowners and landlords. Compression fittings require no soldering, making them safer and easier than capillary joints.

Do you deliver across Ireland?
Yes — Kestrel Products dispatches same day on orders placed before 3pm, with nationwide delivery across the Republic of Ireland typically in 1 business day.
