Pegler VSH Tectite Sprint Push-Fit Straight Coupling - 22mm

The primary advantage is its fast, heat-free push-fit installation, which significantly reduces labor time and eliminates the risks associated with open flames.

Yes, the Tectite Sprint fittings can be used to transition from soldered joints to push-fit, provided the pipe is compatible and prepared correctly.

While designed for hot and chilled water systems, specific application suitability for underground use should be confirmed based on environmental factors and local regulations. The DZR brass variant offers good corrosion resistance.

You should insert the pipe until it reaches the predetermined insertion depth mark on the pipe, which should align with the end of the fitting body.

Once correctly installed, Tectite Sprint fittings require no regular maintenance.

A fitting can be removed using the correct tool and potentially reused if it has not been damaged and the internal O-ring is in good condition. However, for critical applications, replacing the fitting is often recommended for guaranteed performance.

The 22mm coupling is compatible with copper tube, PEX, and PB pipes.

Ensure the pipe is cut squarely, is free from damage, and has been properly deburred. Verify the pipe has been pushed fully into the fitting to the correct depth mark. Check the O-ring inside the fitting for damage or debris.

Confirm the pipe is the correct size and type for the fitting. Ensure the pipe end is not deformed and has been deburred. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be used on the pipe end, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.

Use the dedicated Tectite removal tool. Ensure the tool is correctly positioned around the fitting and the pipe, and apply steady, even pressure to release the grip mechanism.
