Full details

The FloPlast FloFit+ Push-Fit Collet Clip (FCR15) is an essential component for both professional plumbers and DIY home improvers looking to ensure secure and reliable push-fit pipe connections. Designed specifically for 15mm piping systems, these red-coded clips provide a visual indicator for hot water lines and offer long-term stability for connections, though users must note that they are strictly intended for compatible 15mm push-fit systems and cannot be used with non-standard pipe diameters.

FAQs

Can these clips be used on 22mm pipes?

No, these clips are specifically designed for 15mm systems only.

What is the primary purpose of the red color?

The red color is a standardized industry indicator intended to denote hot water lines within a plumbing system.

Are these clips reusable?

Yes, they can be removed and reused if they have not been damaged or deformed during removal.

Do I need special tools to install these?

No, they are designed for manual installation and can be snapped on by hand.

Does this pack include the pipe fittings themselves?

Troubleshooting

Clip will not snap into place

Verify that the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting, leaving enough clearance for the clip to lock behind the collet.

Clip feels loose after installation

Check that the collet is fully retracted against the fitting body; if the collet is angled or partially extended, the clip may not seat correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures secure and stable push-fit connections
  • Easy visual identification for hot water systems
  • Simple, tool-free installation process
  • High-volume pack reduces per-unit cost for projects

Cons

  • Not compatible with pipe sizes other than 15mm
  • Requires specific FloFit+ system components for optimal performance
  • Small parts require careful storage to prevent loss

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the FCR15 clip is straightforward: first, ensure your 15mm pipe is cut cleanly with no burrs and inserted fully into the push-fit fitting until a secure stop is felt. Once the connection is set, snap the red FCR15 clip directly into the gap between the collet and the fitting body. No special tools are required. For maintenance, ensure the clips remain clean and free from debris that could interfere with the locking mechanism. When retrofitting, always inspect existing push-fit fittings for wear before applying new clips. These clips should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain material integrity over time.
