Can I reuse this fitting?
While these fittings can be removed and reused, always inspect the internal O-ring for damage or wear before re-installing.

Yes, it is designed for use with standard 10mm plumbing pipes, provided they are compatible with push-fit standards.
Does it meet UK regulations?

Troubleshooting
Fitting leaks after installation
Ensure the pipe is pushed in fully and that there are no deep scratches on the pipe surface that could break the O-ring seal.
Pipe will not insert into the elbow
Check that the pipe is 10mm diameter and that the end has been de-burred to provide a smooth insertion.
Cannot remove the fitting from the pipe
Use a specialized collet release tool to push the collar evenly, freeing the internal teeth's grip on the pipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a secure installation, ensure the 10mm pipe end is cut square and is free from burrs, dirt, or scratches that might compromise the internal O-ring seal. Simply push the pipe firmly into the stem elbow until it bottoms out. For maintenance, check the connection periodically during annual system checks for any signs of weeping. If you need to remove the fitting, use an appropriate pipe release tool to depress the collet ring, allowing the pipe to be withdrawn without damaging the fitting or the pipe surface.
