FAQs

What size pipe does this locking clip fit?

This locking clip is designed specifically for 12mm diameter pipes.

How do I remove a pipe from a Speedfit fitting with a locking clip?

Push the collet (the coloured ring) on the Speedfit fitting inwards towards the fitting body and then pull the pipe to release it.

Can I use these clips with any brand of fitting?

It is recommended to use John Guest Speedfit locking clips with John Guest Speedfit fittings to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.

Are these clips suitable for hot water systems?

John Guest Speedfit fittings and clips are generally suitable for cold and hot water applications, but it's essential to check the specific temperature and pressure ratings for the Speedfit fitting being used in conjunction with the clip.

How many locking clips are included in the pack?

This pack contains 10 John Guest Speedfit 12mm Locking Clips.

Do I need any special tools to install this clip?

No, the John Guest Speedfit system, including the locking clips, is designed for tool-free push-fit installation.

Troubleshooting

Pipe is not securely held by the fitting.

Ensure the pipe is cut perfectly square and free of any burrs. Push the pipe fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. Check that the fitting itself is not damaged and that the correct size pipe (12mm) is being used.

Difficulty inserting the pipe into the fitting.

Make sure the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Slightly twist the pipe as you push it into the fitting. Ensure the fitting's internal O-ring is not obstructed or damaged.

Leak detected at the connection point.

Remove the pipe by operating the fitting's release mechanism. Inspect the pipe end for damage or deformities. Clean the pipe end and the fitting's interior. Reinsert the pipe firmly. If the leak persists, replace the fitting or pipe section.
