FAQs

What type of pipe is compatible with the Polymax elbow?

The Polypipe Polymax elbow is exclusively compatible with Polypipe white polybutylene flexible pipe.

Do I need a pipe stiffener?

Yes, a Polypipe metal, plastic, or sealed pipe stiffener must be used with the flexible pipe for a secure connection.

How do I disconnect a Polymax fitting?

You will need the specific Polypipe release tool. Place the tool around the fitting collar and pull to release the pipe.

Can this fitting be used for gas pipes?

No, this fitting is designed for hot and cold water systems only.

Is the Polymax elbow suitable for buried installations?

The Polymax fittings are designed for surface mounting where their aesthetic qualities can be appreciated and demounting is easier. For buried applications, other fitting types may be more appropriate.

What is the benefit of the 'sealed' stiffener?

The Polypipe sealed stiffener offers extra security and a more robust connection, recommended for added peace of mind in water systems.

Troubleshooting

Leak at connection

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the correct size stiffener is used. Check for any debris in the fitting. If the issue persists, demount and reassemble, ensuring a secure connection.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Verify that you are using the correct size Polypipe pipe and stiffener for the fitting. Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and is free of burrs. A small amount of silicone lubricant can aid insertion if needed.

Fitting will not demount

Ensure you are using the correct Polypipe release tool and that it is fully engaged with the fitting collar. Check that the connection is not under excessive pressure, which can make demounting difficult.
