Flomasta White Cross-Linked Polyethylene (Pe-X) Push-Fit Barrier Pipe - 3m - 22mm

PE-X, or Cross-Linked Polyethylene, is a flexible and durable plastic pipe commonly used in plumbing and heating systems.

PE-X pipe is resistant to corrosion, flexible for easy installation, and suitable for both hot and cold water applications.

No, you must use push-fit fittings specifically designed for PE-X pipe. Always check the fitting manufacturer's specifications.

Use a pipe cutter designed for plastic pipes. Ensure the cut is square and clean.

Simply push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it clicks or reaches the stop. Then, gently pull on the pipe to confirm the connection.

You'll need a pipe cutter, and possibly a deburring tool. A pipe lubricant can also be helpful.

The pipe should be fully inserted into the fitting, and you should not be able to pull it out easily after it is connected.

The oxygen barrier prevents oxygen from entering the heating system, which can cause corrosion in metal components like radiators and boilers.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. If the issue persists, replace the fitting and check the pipe end for damage or imperfections. Cut the pipe again and try a new fitting.

Ensure the pipe end is clean, cut squarely, and deburred. Use a pipe lubricant if necessary. Make sure you are using the correct size fitting for 22mm PE-X pipe.

Check for any kinks or blockages in the pipe. Ensure all fittings are fully open and there are no restrictions in the system. Check the pressure at the source.
