FAQs
What is the purpose of the blue oxygen barrier?
The oxygen barrier prevents air from entering the system, reducing corrosion in metal components such as boilers and radiators.
Do I need any special tools for installation?

Can I use this pipe with any type of fitting?
No, JG Speedfit PEX Barrier Pipe is designed to be used with JG Speedfit fittings. Always use the correct fittings for optimal performance.
How do I disconnect a fitting?

Troubleshooting
Connection Leaks
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting, past the O-ring. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting. Replace the fitting if necessary.
Difficulty Inserting Pipe
Make sure the pipe end is cut squarely. Use a pipe insert to provide support, and ensure the fitting is clean.
Pipe Kinking
Avoid sharp bends. Use appropriate bending supports or fittings to prevent kinking.
