Product Information
Full details
The Speedfit Release Aid (22RA) is an essential tool for professional plumbers and DIYers who work with 22mm push-fit plumbing systems. It simplifies the often-frustrating process of demounting pipework by providing a mechanical advantage to compress the collet, allowing the pipe to slide out easily. While it is highly effective for its intended size, it is important to note that this specific tool is designed exclusively for 22mm connections and will not fit other pipe diameters.

Troubleshooting
Pipe will not release after using the tool
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting before engaging the tool, and verify that the tool is squarely seated against the collet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the tool, simply wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove any pipe debris or moisture.

Always ensure the pipe is fully isolated and the system is depressurized before attempting to remove any pipework from a fitting.
