Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I reuse this fitting after removing it?

Yes, provided the fitting, the internal O-ring, and the pipe surface remain in good condition without deep scratches.

Is this tap suitable for central heating systems?

Yes, it is rated for hot and cold water systems, including standard central heating plumbing.

Do I need to use thread sealant or PTFE tape?

No, the Speedfit system relies on an internal O-ring seal and should not be used with pastes or tapes.

What pipe materials are compatible?

It is compatible with copper, Speedfit PEX, and polybutylene pipes that meet standard dimensions.

Does the tap come in different sizes?

This specific model (15ESOTP) is designed for 15mm pipe diameters.

Can this be installed on pipes that aren't perfectly straight?

The pipe should be straight for at least a few inches entering the fitting to ensure the O-ring maintains a consistent seal.

Troubleshooting

Water leakage at the connection point

Check that the pipe end is cut perfectly square, free of scratches, and pushed fully into the fitting past the O-ring.

Pipe will not insert into the valve

Ensure the collet is not obstructed and the pipe end has been deburred to remove sharp edges that may catch on the internal seal.

Need to remove or adjust the fitting

Use the appropriate John Guest collet release tool to depress the teeth before pulling the pipe out of the fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional valves
  • Requires zero specialized tools for connection
  • Suitable for use in tight, hard-to-reach spaces
  • High-quality construction ensures long-term durability
  • Safe for use on both hot and cold plumbing lines

Cons

  • Requires perfectly square and clean pipe ends for a proper seal
  • Not intended for use with non-standard pipe diameters
  • Removal requires a specific collet release tool

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the pipe end is cut square with a suitable pipe cutter and deburred to prevent damaging the internal O-ring. Simply push the pipe fully into the fitting; the collet will grip the pipe and the O-ring will seal against it. To ensure a secure connection, always pull back on the pipe gently after insertion to verify the teeth have engaged. The tap is fully compatible with PEX, polybutylene, and copper pipes of the correct nominal diameter. For care, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents near the fitting, and always inspect the seal after any significant movement of the pipe work.
