FAQs

What is the purpose of the oxygen barrier?

The oxygen barrier prevents air from entering the system, reducing corrosion in metal components like radiators and boilers, and extending their lifespan.

Do I need to use pipe inserts?

Yes, JG Speedfit pipe inserts must be used with this pipe to ensure a secure and leak-free connection with Speedfit fittings.

Can I use this pipe with other types of fittings?

No, this pipe is only compatible with JG Speedfit push-fit fittings.

How do I cut the pipe?

Use a pipe cutter or a suitable tool to ensure a clean, square cut. Remove any burrs from the cut end.

How do I install the pipe into the fitting?

Insert the pipe fully into the fitting, ensuring it reaches the internal stop. A slight resistance should be felt as the pipe enters.

What should I do if the connection leaks?

Check if the pipe is fully inserted and that the insert is correctly installed. Also, check for any damage to the fitting or the pipe and replace if necessary.

Is this pipe suitable for hot water?

Yes, it is designed to carry hot water. Due to its low thermal conductivity, it is safer to touch when carrying hot water.

What is the lifespan of this pipe?

The lifespan depends on usage conditions, including water quality, temperature, and pressure. However, with proper installation and care, it is designed for long-term use within standard plumbing systems.

Troubleshooting

Pipe leaks at the fitting connection.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and that the pipe insert is correctly installed. Check the fitting for damage and replace if necessary.

Difficulty in inserting the pipe into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and free from burrs. If the pipe is cold, it can be warmed slightly to make it more pliable. Use a Speedfit pipe insert.
