FAQs

Does this fitting require any special tools?

No, it is a push-fit design, although a pipe cutter and a deburring tool are recommended for a proper, leak-free installation.

Can this be reused?

Generally, push-fit fittings are intended for permanent installation, but they can be released and reused if the release tool is used correctly and the O-ring remains in good condition.

Is this fitting suitable for gas lines?

No, this product is intended for water plumbing systems only. Never use push-fit fittings for gas installations.

What standards does this meet?

The fitting is WRAS and KITEMARK approved, ensuring it meets strict UK safety and quality standards.

Can I paint over the white finish?

While the white finish is aesthetically pleasing, you can paint over it with appropriate plastic-safe paint if required for blending into your decor.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking immediately after installation.

Check that the pipe is fully inserted and the pipe end is free of burrs or scratches that could damage the internal O-ring.

Pipe cannot be inserted into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe is perfectly round and has not been deformed; use a pipe deburring tool to smooth the end.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for hot work or soldering
  • Significantly reduces installation time
  • Professional-grade durability and safety certifications
  • Clean, professional-looking white finish
  • Can be used in both domestic and light commercial environments

Cons

  • Restricted to 15mm pipe diameter only
  • May be more expensive than traditional solder fittings
  • Not suitable for high-vibration industrial environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 15mm pipe is cut cleanly with a pipe cutter; burrs must be removed to avoid damaging the internal O-ring seal.
  2. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe to confirm the fitting is fully seated.
  3. Push the pipe firmly into the stem elbow until it meets the internal stop.

Compatibility:

This fitting is designed for 15mm OD (Outside Diameter) pipes. It is generally compatible with copper and appropriate plastic plumbing pipes, provided the manufacturer's specific guidelines for push-fit compatibility are met.

Care:

Periodically inspect the connection points for any signs of weeping or moisture buildup. Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on the seal, as this can degrade the material. If the fitting needs to be removed, use the appropriate release tool to avoid damaging the pipe surface.
