FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You don't need any special tools. Pipe cutters are recommended to cut pipes squarely. Make sure the pipes are deburred.

Can I use this fitting with copper pipes?

No, this fitting is only compatible with Polyplumb pipes.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

This fitting is designed to handle temperatures up to 90°C.

Is the fitting suitable for use with potable water?

Yes, the Polyplumb system is suitable for use with potable (drinking) water.

How do I disconnect the fitting?

Use a Polyplumb demounting tool to release the pipe from the fitting. Insert the tool into the fitting and push against the collet to release the pipe.

What is the pressure rating?

Pressure rating depends on the system's overall design; check the Polyplumb specifications for full details.

How long will the fitting last?

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting. If necessary, disconnect and re-install.

Difficulty connecting the pipe.

Ensure the pipe end is clean and free from burrs. Make sure you are using the correct size pipe for the fitting.
