FAQs
What is the main advantage of this fitting?
The main advantage is its push-fit connection, which allows for rapid and simple installation without the need for special tools or heat.
Can I use this with any 15mm pipe?
This fitting is designed for Polypipe Poltfit systems and is compatible with standard 15mm copper, PEX, PB, and multicore pipes, provided they meet the relevant BS EN standards and are prepared correctly.
What does the reinforcing sleeve do?
The reinforcing sleeve is integrated into the fitting to provide extra support to the pipe, preventing it from kinking or becoming deformed at the connection point, especially under stress.
Is this fitting suitable for underground use?
While durable, these fittings are primarily intended for above-ground domestic plumbing installations. Consult Polypipe for specific applications like underground services.
How do I ensure a permanent connection?
A permanent and secure connection is achieved by ensuring the pipe is clean, cut square, and fully inserted into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. A slight twist can help confirm the seal.
What tools are needed for installation?
No special tools are required for initial installation. A pipe cutter and possibly a deburring tool are recommended for preparing the pipe end. A pipe release tool is needed for removal.
Troubleshooting
Fitting will not push fully onto the pipe
Check that the pipe is cut square and free from burrs. Ensure the pipe end is not deformed or damaged. Clean the pipe end if necessary.
Leak detected at the connection point
Remove the fitting, inspect the pipe end for damage or debris, and re-insert the pipe ensuring it is fully seated. Check the condition of the O-ring inside the fitting.
Pipe feels loose after connection
The pipe may not have been fully inserted. Remove the fitting and re-insert the pipe until it stops. Ensure the pipe is not kinked or distorted.
Difficulty removing fitting from pipe
Use the Polypipe pipe release tool to disengage the grab ring. Ensure the tool is correctly placed around the pipe against the fitting body before attempting to pull.
