FAQs

Can I use this on central heating systems?

This fitting is designed primarily for domestic water systems. Please check the product specifications against your system's temperature and pressure ratings before using in heating circuits.

Is a pipe insert required for plastic pipe?

Yes, when using plastic pipe, it is essential to use a supporting pipe insert to ensure structural integrity at the connection point.

Are the seals replaceable?

The internal seals are integrated into the design. If a leak occurs due to seal failure, the unit should be replaced.

Can this connector be reused?

While these fittings can often be removed and reused, it is generally recommended to use a new fitting if you have disassembled a high-pressure connection to ensure the internal O-ring remains uncompromised.

What does BSP stand for?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe, which is the technical standard for screw threads used on pipes and fittings.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking at the push-fit joint.

Remove the pipe and inspect it for deep scratches or debris. Re-cut the end of the pipe cleanly and ensure it is fully inserted past the O-ring seal.

The union nut is cross-threading.

Back the nut off completely and realign. The nut should thread on smoothly by hand for the first few turns before using a tool.

Difficulty inserting the pipe into the fitting.

Check that the pipe diameter is exactly 15mm and that the end has been de-burred. Ensure the O-ring inside the fitting is not obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional methods
  • No open flame or soldering required for assembly
  • Certified for safety and compliance with UK water regulations
  • Flexible swivel function makes alignment simple in confined spaces
  • Clean, professional-looking white finish for visible areas

Cons

  • Limited to 15mm pipe and 3/4 inch BSP thread sizes
  • Plastic construction may not be suitable for high-industrial extreme heat environments
  • Requires proper pipe preparation to ensure a watertight seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a long-lasting, leak-free connection, follow these steps during setup:

  1. Prepare the Pipe: Ensure the 15mm pipe end is cut square and is free from burrs, scratches, or debris. Use a pipe cutter for best results.
  2. Mark Depth: Use the manufacturer's recommended depth guide to mark the pipe, ensuring the fitting is fully seated.
  3. Insertion: Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until you feel it hit the internal stop.
  4. Secure the Union: Hand-tighten the 3/4 inch BSP nut onto the tap tail. Use a wrench to apply an additional quarter to half turn; avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the plastic threads.

Care Instructions: Periodically inspect the connection for signs of moisture. Wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid using abrasive chemicals or metal brushes that could compromise the surface finish.
