FAQs

What pipe sizes does this 22mm coupler fit?

This specific coupler is designed to fit a 22mm pipe on one end and accommodate pipe sizes ranging from 24mm to 28mm on the other end, covering various copper and other pipe types.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

No, special tools are not required. Installation is a simple push-fit operation. You may need a marker to mark insertion depth and potentially a disconnect tool for removal.

Can this fitting be used for underground water pipes?

Yes, the fitting is PN16 rated and designed for durable water supply systems, including those that may be underground, provided the installation environment is suitable and pipes are properly supported.

What is the expected lifespan of a Plasson Push-Fit fitting?

Plasson fittings are designed to last in use for over 50 years due to their durable, non-corrodible virgin Polypropylene construction.

Is this fitting suitable for hot water systems?

While designed for general water supply, always check the specific temperature and pressure ratings against your system requirements. The PN16 rating typically applies to cold and moderately warm water applications.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval signifies that the product has been rigorously tested and complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and Scottish Water Byelaws, confirming its suitability for use in systems conveying drinking water.

How do I remove a pipe from this fitting?

To disconnect, you typically need to push the pipe inwards slightly while simultaneously operating the release collar or using a specific Plasson disconnect tool to release the grip mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the pipe was pushed in fully to the fitting stop. Check the pipe end for damage, burrs, or debris that may have interfered with the seal. Verify the pipe material and size are compatible with the fitting.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Confirm the pipe is clean, square-cut, and free of obstructions. Slightly chamfering the pipe end can help. Ensure the fitting is not damaged internally.

Fitting does not grip the pipe

This usually indicates the pipe was not fully inserted to the internal stop. Re-insert the pipe ensuring it engages fully with the gripping mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe end is cut square and clean. Remove any burrs or rough edges from the pipe.
  2. Mark the required insertion depth on the pipe using a marker.
  3. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting bore until it reaches the internal stop. The fitting will grip the pipe and create a watertight seal.
  4. For disconnection, use a Plasson disconnect tool or follow the specific release mechanism instructions.

  • Compatible with Copper pipes (22mm, 24-28mm sizes).

Care:
