FAQs

What is the primary material of the JG Speedfit Flexible Hose?

The hose is manufactured from polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U).

What size pipes is this hose compatible with?

This hose is designed for 15mm pipes.

Can I use this hose with hot water?

Always adhere to the manufacturer's specified temperature limits for the hose.

Do I need to use any tools for installation?

Generally, no special tools are required. However, a pipe cutter may be needed to prepare the supply pipe.

What should I do if the hose starts to leak?

Check the connections (push-fit and threaded) for proper seating and tightness. Inspect the hose for any damage. Replace the hose if damage is found.

Is this hose suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the outer protective cover is weather resistant.

How do I disconnect the hose?

To demount the pipe, push the collet towards the body of the fitting and pull the pipe to release.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking at the push-fit connection.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. If the problem persists, check for damage to the pipe or fitting. Replace if necessary.

Leakage at the threaded connection.

Tighten the brass nut securely. If the leak persists, check the threads on the appliance for damage or debris and replace the hose if necessary.

Ensure the hose is not bent too sharply during installation. If kinking is unavoidable, consider using a different hose routing or a different hose.
