Can PolyPlumb fittings be reused?
PolyPlumb fittings can be demounted for re-use by dis-assembly only, but it is recommended to replace them if they are damaged or have been removed multiple times.
What applications are PolyPlumb fittings suitable for?
PolyPlumb fittings are suitable for most plumbing and heating applications, including hot and cold water and underfloor heating, but are not suitable for transporting gases.
Where can I find pipe stiffeners?
Polypipe metal or plastic pipe stiffeners are recommended for use with plastic pipe and can be found at most plumbing suppliers.
How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?
Ensure the pipe is cut cleanly and inserted fully into the fitting until it meets the stop. The high-performance stainless steel grab ring ensures joint integrity.
Troubleshooting
Fitting leaks after installation.
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the joint is secure. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting and replace if necessary.
Difficulty in inserting the pipe into the fitting.
Make sure the pipe end is clean and free of burrs. Ensure the pipe is cut squarely. Lubricating the pipe with a suitable lubricant may help.
