FAQs
Is this insert compatible with all 22mm pipes?
It is designed for standard 22mm plumbing and heating pipe networks compatible with push-fit systems.
What certifications does this product hold?
The product is both KITEMARK and WRAS certified.
Can I use this for high-pressure systems?
Yes, it is designed to be resistant to the pressures typically found in domestic and light commercial plumbing systems.
Does this require soldering?

Why is the double seal better than a single seal?
The double seal provides a redundant barrier, significantly reducing the probability of leaks over the lifespan of the pipe.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the pipe has been pushed fully past the O-rings and against the pipe stop.
Minor drip at the connection point
Check that the pipe end is free from scratches, burrs, or debris before re-inserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a secure installation, always ensure the pipe end is cut square and deburred before inserting the fitting. The pipe must be fully pushed into the fitting until it seats against the stop. This component is compatible with standard 22mm plumbing pipes. When performing maintenance, verify that the pipe has not been crimped or scored during installation. The insert does not require specialized tools, but you should avoid using excessive force or lubricants that are not recommended for your specific pipe material as this may compromise the double seal.
