Product Information

Full details

The John Guest Speedfit Stem Elbow 22mm is a versatile plumbing connector designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable 90-degree swivel connection for hot and cold water systems. Its primary benefit is the rapid, tool-free installation process that eliminates the need for hot works, though users should note that the use of pipe inserts is mandatory when working with polybutylene piping to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal.

FAQs

Can this elbow be used with copper pipes?

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard 22mm copper pipe, provided the pipe ends are smooth and burr-free.

Do I need to use glue or solder with this fitting?

No. The Speedfit system is a mechanical push-fit design that requires no glue, flux, or soldering.

Is this fitting suitable for hot water systems?

Yes, it is designed for use in both hot and cold water plumbing as well as central heating systems.

What is the purpose of the Twist and Lock feature?

It secures the fitting against accidental disconnection and provides additional compression on the seal.

Are pipe inserts necessary for all pipe types?

Inserts are required specifically for polybutylene plastic pipe to maintain the pipe's roundness for a proper seal.

Can I reuse the fitting if I take it off?

Yes, the JG Speedfit system is designed to be demountable and can be reused if the O-ring and teeth are undamaged.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks immediately after installation

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting and the nut is properly tightened. Check the pipe end for scratches or burrs.

Pipe cannot be inserted into the fitting

Check that the pipe is the correct 22mm diameter and that the collet is in the open position.

Fitting is difficult to release

Ensure the locking nut is fully unscrewed (counter-clockwise) before pushing the collet squarely into the fitting body.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster installation compared to traditional plumbing methods
  • No requirement for solder, glue, or complex tools
  • Compact design ideal for tight or confined spaces
  • Reusable and demountable for system maintenance
  • Manufactured in the UK to high quality standards

Cons

  • Requires specific pipe inserts when using polybutylene pipe
  • Not suitable for use with certain non-standard pipe diameters
  • Requires careful installation to ensure the O-ring is not damaged by sharp pipe ends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the pipe end is cut square and is free of any burrs or debris that could damage the internal O-ring. Simply push the fitting fully onto the pipe and rotate the plastic nut clockwise to engage the Twist and Lock feature. For polybutylene pipe, you must insert a pipe stiffener before pushing the pipe into the elbow. When performing maintenance, simply unlock the nut and push the collet inward to release the pipe. Keep the unit away from harsh chemicals and ensure it is not subjected to structural loading, as the fitting is designed to hold the pipe and seal, not to act as a structural support for other components.
