At Bromic, we are proud to offer a warranty on all our “Quicky”, PEX and PEX-PRO™ flexible water hoses. Our PEX-PRO™ range is backed by an industry-leading 15-year warranty for extra peace of mind. Bromic “Quicky” Water hoses offer 12 months warranty and our PEX hoses (including mixer hoses) offer 10 years of warranty.
Yes, the Bromic PEX Mixer tap hoses are manufactured with the same stainless steel braid and PEX core as Bromic PEX hoses, making them burst proof. The only difference is the red and blue stripes integrated into the braid to distinguish between hot and cold water hoses.
Whilst Bromic “Quicky” water hoses are manufactured with a rubber core, Bromic PEX and PEX PRO™ hoses are manufactured with an extremely high-density polyethylene inner core, making them 100% burst proof*. Whilst EDPM and PEX hoses are made with a stainless steel braid, PEX PRO™ is made with a marine grade 316 stainless steel braid that is highly resistant to rust and corrosion.

Push-fit pipes are quick and easy to install and can be easily separated. Solvent-weld pipes use solvent cement to make a strong joint, making them suitable for permanent fixtures.
Push-fit connections connect with push-fit pipes and solvent-cement connections connect with solvent-weld pipes. Some valves come with a removable adaptor that allows it to fit either connection, for example on the Bromic Air Admittance Valve 110mm.
To choose the right air admittance valve, you’ll need to know the fixture unit of the pipe and the airflow capacity required. Read more

Both ball valves and butterfly valves are valves that are used to control the flow of water or gas in a pipe system. Internally, butterfly valves consist of a thin disk and ball valves consist of a sphere-like disc that rotates as the handle is turned.
Whilst butterfly valves are usually recommended for use with larger pipe diameters, ball valves provide a tighter seal and are hence suitable for high-temperature and pressure services. Bromic supplies a wide range of ball valves with different thread connections and lever types for gas and water applications.
Please note: Butterfly valves should not be confused with butterfly handles (also known as T handles).
The colour of the handles on Bromic ball valves are used to distinguish their usage between gas and water.
Valves with a yellow handle are gas valves and are AGA-approved for use with Natural Gas and LPG.
Valves with a green handle are water valves and are WaterMark-approved for use with potable water. Almost all of Bromic’s green handle valves are also AGA-approved for use with gas, with exceptions such as 1210437.
Refer to product information to review if a valve is compatible with gas and/or water pipelines.
To select the right test plug size you’ll need to know the diameter and back pressure of the pipe. The back pressure can be calculated by determining the height of the water that accumulates from the centerline of the pipe.
Select a test plug based on the compatible pipe size diameter. Ensure that the back pressure of the pipe is less than the test plug’s maximum back pressure (psi).
| SKU | Internal Pipe Size | Compatible Pipe Size (Internal Minimum) | Compatible Pipe Size (External Diameter) | Minimum Depth (inserted in pipe) | Waterway Diameter | Max. Back Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8688000 | 40mm (1.5″) | 38mm | 53mm | 31mm | 15mm | 30psi |
| 8688001 | 50mm (2″) | 50mm | 62mm | 32.7mm | 15mm | 30psi |

Both pneumatic and mechanical test plugs can be used to test leaks and block off sections of pipelines. The benefit of pneumatic plugs is that they can be used for multiple purposes such as bypassing effluent that is running through a live pipeline. Mechanical plugs such as Bromic Test Plugs are usually recommended for long-term installations as they can fit tightly and create a seal.
Unlike analogue manometers, digital manometers contain a pressure transducer that deflects under pressure. Digital manometers are more accurate than their analogue counterpart and are also easy to read.
The Bromic Manometer Kit provides additional features including:
