How long will the Tectite Sprint elbow last?

Pegler fittings are designed for long-term durability. With correct installation and use within specified system parameters, they are expected to last the lifetime of the plumbing system.

How do I remove a Tectite Sprint fitting if I need to make changes?

To remove the fitting, you will need a Tectite release tool. Insert the tool into the fitting to release the grab ring, then pull the pipe out.

What is the primary benefit of the 'Sprint' design?

The 'Sprint' design focuses on simplicity and aesthetics, using only three components for a slimmer and more attractive profile, while maintaining high performance.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted to the correct depth and the pipe end was clean and free of burrs. Check that the correct type of pipe compatible with Tectite fittings was used.

Difficulty pushing pipe into the fitting

Verify the pipe is clean and not deformed. If resistance is high, check if the pipe end has been properly chamfered. Do not force the connection if significant resistance is met; re-check pipe and fitting condition.

Fitting does not create a seal

Confirm the pipe has reached the designated insertion depth mark. Ensure the O-ring inside the fitting is intact and not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple and fast installation process
  • No need for hot works (soldering), enhancing safety on site
  • Compact and attractive design for visible installations
  • High-quality materials ensure longevity
  • Reliable leak-free connections when installed correctly

Cons

  • Requires precise pipe insertion for a secure seal
  • May be less suitable for extremely high-pressure applications compared to soldered joints
  • Requires specific Tectite-compatible pipe
  • Limited to 90-degree bends in this specific configuration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the pipe end is clean, free from burrs, and has a smooth, consistent edge. Mark the correct insertion depth on the pipe using a depth gauge or marker. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the depth mark. The internal O-ring and grab ring will create a secure, watertight seal. For removal, use a Tectite release tool to disengage the grab ring and pull the pipe out.

Compatibility: This fitting is designed for use with Tectite-compatible pipes, including copper, PEX, and multi-layer composite pipes that meet relevant standards. Ensure your pipework is correctly sized for a 15mm connection.

Care: While the fitting itself requires no regular maintenance, regular inspection of the overall plumbing system for leaks is recommended. Keep the connection area clean and dry.
