FAQs

What tools do I need?

No tools are required for the initial push-fit connection. You may need a pipe cutter to prepare the pipe.

Can I reuse the fitting?

Yes, the fitting can be demounted and reused, but inspect the fitting and pipe end for damage before reassembly.

What type of pipe can I use?

The fitting is compatible with Speedfit PEX and polybutylene plastic pipe (inserts required) and copper pipe.

What is the maximum pressure this fitting can handle?

The fitting is designed for standard domestic water pressure. Always consult the product specifications for exact pressure ratings.

Can I use this fitting on a central heating system?

Yes, the JG Speedfit Bent Tap Connector is suitable for use in both hot and cold water and central heating systems.

Do I need to use any sealant?

No sealant is required for the push-fit connection. The fitting uses an internal O-ring to create a watertight seal.

How do I ensure a good seal?

Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely. Push the pipe fully into the fitting. Engage the Twist & Lock mechanism.

Where is this product manufactured?

The JG Speedfit Bent Tap Connector is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the UK.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the connection is secure. Check the O-ring for damage. Verify the Twist & Lock mechanism is properly engaged. If using plastic pipe, confirm that inserts have been installed.

The fitting is difficult to connect.

Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of burrs. Make sure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting. If using plastic pipe, ensure that inserts have been installed.

The fitting won't demount.
