Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless pushfit installation saves time and effort.
  • Durable brass construction ensures a long service life.
  • Chrome finish offers a clean and professional look.
  • Suitable for a wide range of water systems, including drinking water.
  • Reduces complexity in pipework by smoothly transitioning sizes.

Cons

  • Requires clean, burr-free pipe ends for a reliable seal.
  • Primarily intended for specific size reductions (15mm to 10mm).
  • Not suitable for above-ground gas installations.
  • Can be slightly more expensive than compression fittings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the end of the 15mm pipe is cut square and free from burrs or scratches. Push the pipe firmly into the larger (15mm) opening of the elbow until it reaches the internal stop. Repeat the process for the 10mm connection on the other end. The fitting is designed for immediate use once connected.

Compatibility: This fitting is compatible with standard copper, chrome, and plastic pipes conforming to relevant British Standards (BS). It is designed for use with 15mm and 10mm pipe sizes.

Care: The chrome finish can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal components, periodic checks of the water system for leaks are recommended, though the pushfit mechanism is designed for long-term reliability.
