What type of pipe does this coupler work with?

The Polypipe Polymax Straight Coupler is designed exclusively for use with Polypipe white polybutylene flexible pipe in a 10mm size.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

Can I use this fitting for gas pipes?

No, this fitting is designed only for domestic hot and cold water systems. It is not suitable for gas installations.

What is the purpose of the pipe stiffener?

The pipe stiffener is inserted into the end of the flexible pipe to provide rigidity and support, ensuring a secure and leak-free seal when pushed into the Polymax fitting.

How do I remove the fitting if I make a mistake?

What is the warranty period for Polymax fittings?

Please refer to the Polypipe product documentation or contact your retailer for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

Fitting will not push fully onto the pipe

Ensure the pipe end is cut square and clean. Verify that a pipe stiffener is fully inserted into the pipe. Check that you are using the correct size Polymax coupler for the 10mm pipe.

Leak detected at the connection

Ensure the pipe was pushed fully into the fitting until it stopped. Check that the pipe stiffener is correctly inserted and appropriate for the pipe. Try demounting and remounting the connection, ensuring the pipe end is clean and the fitting is properly engaged.

Difficulty demounting the fitting

Ensure you are using the correct Polypipe release tool. Make sure the tool is fully engaged around the pipe and pushed towards the fitting body before attempting to pull the pipe out.
