The JG Speedfit Layflat Polybutylene Barrier Pipe is designed for professional plumbers and DIY installers who require a reliable, flexible solution for central heating systems. Its primary benefit is the unique 'layflat' technology that eliminates coiling memory, allowing for easy handling during long runs through joists and tight spaces. While it offers superior installation efficiency, users should note that it requires compatible JG Speedfit fittings to ensure a secure, leak-free connection, as it is a specialized pipe material.

Yes, it is WRAS approved and safe for use in drinking water systems.
It is highly recommended to use JG Speedfit fittings to ensure the manufacturer's warranty and the integrity of the connection.
A standard, sharp pipe cutter designed for plastic plumbing is sufficient to get a clean, square cut.
The barrier stops oxygen from permeating the pipe walls, which prevents corrosion of metal radiators and boilers in central heating systems.
Yes, it is designed to meet BS 7291 Class S standards, making it suitable for standard central heating and hot water applications.
The JG Speedfit Layflat pipe is significantly more flexible and lacks the 'coiling memory' that makes standard piping difficult to lay straight.
Ensure the end of the pipe is cut square and is free of burrs or deformations.
Remove the pipe, check the O-ring for debris or damage, and re-insert the pipe, ensuring it is pushed past the internal grab ring.
Ensure you are not exceeding the minimum bend radius; if a tighter turn is required, use a proper elbow fitting.
Installation requires standard JG Speedfit connections. Always ensure the pipe is cut cleanly with a dedicated pipe cutter to prevent jagged edges that could damage the internal seals of fittings. When inserting the pipe into a push-fit connector, ensure it is pushed home fully past the O-ring.
For care, avoid exposing the pipe to direct sunlight for extended periods during storage, and ensure it is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius. While the pipe is robust, it should be protected from sharp metal edges when running through joists by using appropriate pipe clips or conduit sleeves where necessary. Always pressure test your installation according to the BS 7291 standards before commissioning the system.
