Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the pipe was pushed in fully and squarely. Check the pipe end for any damage or burrs. Remove the fitting, clean the pipe end, and re-insert firmly. If using plastic pipe, verify the correct insert is installed and the pipe is properly supported.

Pipe won't push fully into the fitting

Confirm the pipe is the correct size and type for the fitting. Ensure the pipe end is clean, smooth, and free of debris or deformation. For plastic pipes, ensure an insert is not obstructing the entry.

Difficulty demounting the fitting

Ensure the locking collar is clean and free from debris. Twist the collar firmly in the release direction (usually marked) while simultaneously pulling the pipe and fitting apart. If stuck, a gentle wiggle may help.

Fitting does not grip the pipe securely

Verify that the pipe is of the correct specification and has not been deformed. Ensure the pipe has been pushed in far enough for the Grip & Seal collet to engage properly. Check that the collet is not damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces installation time due to push-fit technology.
  • Eliminates the need for specialized tools, fluxes, or heat sources.
  • Provides a secure and reliable connection that resists leaks.
  • Easy to demount for adjustments or maintenance.
  • Durable construction resistant to corrosion and scale.

Cons

  • Requires specific inserts for compatibility with certain plastic pipes.
  • May be less suitable for applications requiring extensive physical stress on the joint compared to soldered fittings.
  • The 22mm to 15mm size is specific, requiring correct application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the pipe ends are clean, dry, and free from burrs or damage. For copper pipes, simply push the pipe end firmly into the fitting until it seats fully. For compatible plastic pipes (PEX, polybutylene), ensure you use the appropriate John Guest pipe inserts (sold separately) before pushing the pipe into the fitting. The connection is made instantly.

Compatibility: This fitting is designed for use with standard copper pipe (BS EN 1057) and John Guest Speedfit PEX and polybutylene plastic pipes. Always use the correct inserts for plastic pipe applications to ensure a secure seal and support.

Care: The fittings require minimal care. Periodically check connections for any signs of leakage, especially after initial installation or system pressure changes. Clean any external dust or debris with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these could damage the plastic components.
