Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on central heating pipes?

This product is primarily designed for cold water supply systems and is WRAS approved for drinking water. It is not intended for high-temperature heating circuits.

Is this fitting reusable?

While it can be removed, it is recommended to inspect the internal seals for damage before attempting to reuse the fitting on a new section of pipe.

What tools do I need for installation?

You only need a pipe cutter or saw to ensure a clean, square end on your pipe, and sandpaper to remove any burrs.

Does it work on lead pipes?

Yes, it is designed to be compatible with lead pipes, provided the outer diameter falls within the 19-22mm specification.

What is the pressure rating?

The coupling has a PN16 pressure rating, making it suitable for most standard domestic and light commercial cold water pressure systems.

Troubleshooting

Coupling is leaking after installation

Check that the pipe end is not rough, sharp, or deformed. Ensure the pipe is inserted fully and that the seal was not damaged during the sliding process.

Coupling will not slide onto the pipe

Verify the outside diameter of the pipe is truly between 19mm and 22mm. If the pipe is deformed or has old paint/scale, clean the surface with fine-grit sandpaper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No specialist tools required for installation
  • Compatible with a wide variety of pipe materials
  • WRAS approved for safe drinking water use
  • High-pressure rating of PN16
  • Simple 'slide and seal' mechanism

Cons

  • Limited specifically to the 19-22mm diameter range
  • Requires proper pipe cleaning before installation for an effective seal
  • Not suitable for high-temperature heating applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the universal slip design. Begin by ensuring the water supply is isolated. Measure your pipe to confirm it falls strictly within the 19mm to 22mm range. Cut the damaged section of the pipe cleanly, ensuring the ends are square and free of sharp edges or burrs that could damage the internal seals. Slide the coupling into position, ensuring it is centered over the repair area. While the coupling is designed for durability, avoid using chemical solvents or harsh cleaning agents during installation, as these may degrade the Polypropylene housing. Routine inspection of the connection is recommended periodically to ensure there are no signs of exterior weeping.
