FAQs
What is the primary function of this manifold?
The JG Speedfit 2 Port Brass Manifold is used to split a single main water supply into two separate, reduced outlet feeds, simplifying plumbing runs.
Can I use this for my central heating system?
No, this manifold is specifically designed for domestic hot and cold water distribution and is not suitable for central heating systems.
What types of pipe can I connect to this manifold?
It is compatible with 15mm Speedfit PEX and polybutylene plastic pipes (using inserts), as well as 15mm copper pipes.
Do I need special tools to install it?
No, installation is designed to be tool-free. Connections are made using a simple push-fit mechanism that can be demounted by pressing the collet.
How do I ensure a secure connection?
Push the pipe fully into the fitting until it stops. The internal 'Grip & Seal' collet with stainless steel teeth will grip the pipe, and the O-ring provides a primary seal.
What are the outlet connections?
The manifold has two outlet connections with 3/4" BSP male threads.
Where is this product manufactured?
The JG Speedfit brass manifold is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Manifold leaks water
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the push-fit fitting. Check the pipe end is cut square and free from damage. If using plastic pipe, verify the correct insert is used and the pipe is properly supported.
Pipe will not insert fully
Confirm the pipe is not kinked or deformed. Ensure no debris is present inside the fitting. For plastic pipes, ensure they are properly inserted to the depth required.
Connection will not demount
Push the collet firmly towards the body of the push-fit fitting while simultaneously pulling the pipe outwards.
Low water flow from outlets
Check that the manifold is not the bottleneck; ensure the main supply pressure is adequate. Verify that the outlet connections are not restricted.
