STANDARD SPEEDFIT FITTINGS Standard Speedfit Fittings have a collet with stainless steel teeth to grip the pipe and an ‘O’ ring to provide a permanent leak proof seal. Collet clips & collet covers protect against accidental disconnection.

TWIST AND LOCK FITTINGS The additional benefit of Twist and Lock Fittings is that a twist of a screwcap locks the pipe in position and gives greater compression on the ‘O’ ring for even greater security.

1. Cut the edge of the pipe squarely with a

pipe cutter (do not use a hacksaw) and remove any burrs or sharp edges. For plastic tube the use of a

pipe insert is recommended as it gives greater rigidity to the pipe reducing the risk of leaks if a side load is applied.

2. Push pipe up to stop. An ‘O’ ring on the head of the pipe insert, as well as the shape of the stem provides a secondary seal against the bore of the fitting, this together with the main ‘O’ ring ensures a good connection.

TO DISCONNECT • Ensure that the system is depressurised. • The screwcap on Twist and Lock fitting will need to be turned back to the unlocked position. • Push the collet square against the face of the fitting by using fingers or with the help of our collet release tool. • With the collet held in position the pipe can be removed. • The fitting can be reused again without the need for replacement parts.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Applications: Cold Water:

12.0 bar maximum pressure at 20ºC max 6.0 bar maximum pressure at 95ºC max

Hot Water:

Central Heating: 3.0 bar maximum pressure at 105ºC max DO NOT USE FOR GAS, FUEL OIL OR COMPRESSED AIR APPLICATIONS.

Pipes: Speedfit fittings can be used with: Copper pipe to BS EN 1057 and Speedfit Barrier pipe to BS72921. Speedfit fittings cannot be used on stainless steel pipe. For plastic tube the use of an internal tube support is recommended. Standards: Speedfit products are designed and manufactured under a fully integrat ed system assessed by B.S.I to BS EN ISO9001. Also approved by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme. DO NOT USE FOR Gas, fuel oil or compressed air applications. Burst Pressures (fittings) With copper or plastic pipe at 20°C: Speedfit fittings used with copper or Speedfit (PEX) barrier pipe will withstand pressures well in excess of normal service conditions. High temperatures Can withstand 114°C intermittently for short periods. The Speedfit system should not be used on an uncontrolled heat source.
