Product Information
Full details
The Plumbright 15mm Tube Pipe Support is an essential component for DIYers and professional plumbers looking to secure plastic pipework. By providing internal reinforcement, it ensures that push-fit connections remain leak-proof and burst-resistant under pressure. While it is highly durable, it is important to note that this specific support is designed exclusively for 15mm piping systems and must be inserted prior to completing the push-fit connection to function correctly.

FAQs
Is this support suitable for copper pipes?
No, this support is specifically engineered for plastic pipework to prevent compression under push-fit fittings.
Does this product require professional installation?
It is designed for both DIY and professional use; however, ensure you follow all local building regulations and plumbing codes.
Can I reuse the pipe support?
If you disconnect the fitting, you can remove the support, but it should be inspected for any signs of cracking or warping before being reused.
Is it safe for hot water systems?
Yes, it is designed to maintain structural integrity under standard residential hot water temperature and pressure fluctuations.
What is the primary benefit of using this over soldering?
Using this support with push-fit fittings eliminates the need for open flames or heat, making the installation process safer and significantly faster.
Troubleshooting
Pipe fitting remains loose
Verify that the support insert is fully seated inside the pipe and that the pipe has been pushed firmly into the fitting until it clicks or reaches the stop.
Difficulty inserting the pipe into the fitting
Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and clean of any debris; if the fit remains tight, check that the pipe diameter matches the 15mm specification exactly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply measure your pipe, cut it squarely, and slide the support fully into the end of the pipe before pushing it into the fitting. Ensure the pipe end is free of burrs or jagged edges to prevent damage to internal O-rings. This support is compatible with standard 15mm plastic piping and industry-standard push-fit fittings. No special maintenance is required once installed, but it is recommended to inspect the connection point after 24 hours of operation to ensure no moisture is present.
