FAQs
What type of pipes can I use with this connector?
This connector is designed for use with standard 22mm copper, plastic, or multi-layer pipe systems suitable for domestic plumbing.
Do I need any special tools to install this connector?
No, the push-fit design means no special tools, glue, or sealant are required for installation. You just push the pipe in.
Can this connector be used for gas lines?
No, this connector is specifically designed and rated for water systems (hot and cold) only. It is not suitable for gas.
How do I disconnect the pipe from the connector?
To disconnect, you will need a push-fit release tool or similar device. Push the tool into the collar at the end of the connector while pulling the pipe to release the seal.
What is the maximum temperature this connector can handle?
The connector is heat-resistant and suitable for use in standard hot and cold domestic water systems. Specific maximum temperature ratings should be confirmed with manufacturer specifications if operating outside typical domestic ranges.
Is this connector suitable for buried or concealed applications?
Yes, provided the installation is done correctly to ensure a leakproof seal, and the surrounding conditions are within the product's operating parameters.
Troubleshooting
Connector leaking after installation
Ensure the pipe was fully and squarely inserted into the connector. Remove the pipe, check for any debris or damage on the pipe end, and reinsert firmly. Ensure the pipe is not scratched or deformed.
Difficulty inserting the pipe
Verify you are using a 22mm pipe that meets standard specifications. Ensure the pipe end is clean, round, and free of any obstructions. A slight twist while pushing can sometimes help.
Connector appears loose
The pipe must be pushed in until it fully seats. If it feels loose, it is likely not inserted far enough. Disconnect and reinsert with more force until it is secure.
