The Polypipe Polymax End Reduced Tee (MAX1422) is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts undertaking hot and cold water system installations, particularly where aesthetics are important. Its key benefit is a secure, tool-demountable push-fit connection that simplifies installation and maintenance. A potential caveat is that it's best suited for surface-mounted applications where its slim profile can be appreciated. This white fitting offers a streamlined, strong, and secure solution for plumbing projects, compatible with flexible polybutylene pipe.

The PolyMax range offers a secure, tool-demountable push-fit system that is easy to install and visually appealing for surface-mounted applications.
The product information states it is suitable for hot and cold water systems. For specific heating system compatibility, always consult the full technical specifications or Polypipe's guidelines.
You will need a Polypipe PolyMax release tool. Fit the tool around the pipe and push it firmly against the fitting's collar to release the grip mechanism, allowing you to pull the pipe out.
It is designed to work with flexible polybutylene pipe, including Polypipe's own PolyMax pipe.
While secure, the design is primarily marketed for its aesthetic appeal in surface-mounted applications. For concealed work, alternative fittings might be preferred unless specific access for demounting is provided.
The dimensions are 22mm on the main run and 22mm on one branch, with a 15mm reduction on the other branch (22x15x22mm).
No, the connection is a simple push-fit. However, a release tool is required for disconnection.
Check that the pipe was inserted fully and squarely into the fitting and that the pipe end was properly prepared (clean, dry, deburred). Ensure the pipe is the correct type and size for the fitting. If the connection needs to be remade, use the release tool to disconnect and then re-firmly push the pipe back in.
Ensure the pipe end is not deformed and is clean. Lightly lubricate the pipe end with water (do not use oils or silicones) to aid insertion. Ensure you are using the correct size pipe for the fitting's connection.
Make sure the release tool is correctly positioned around the pipe and pushed firmly against the fitting's collar. Ensure the correct size release tool is being used for the pipe diameter. Verify that the fitting has not been permanently secured or damaged.
