FAQs

What is the recommended pipe cutter for this pipe?

Use a pipe cutter specifically designed for plastic pipes to ensure a clean, straight cut.

Can I use this pipe with any type of fitting?

This pipe is designed to be used with Polyplumb push-fit fittings and is compatible with copper pipe using these fittings. Always use a pipe stiffener with plastic pipes.

Is this pipe suitable for outdoor use?

While the pipe is durable, it is best to protect it from direct sunlight. Consider using UV-resistant insulation if installed outdoors.

How do I prevent kinking when bending the pipe?

Use pipe bending springs or gently warm the pipe with a heat gun to increase flexibility.

With proper installation and care, the pipe is designed to last for many years. Always adhere to installation guidelines and product specifications.

Can I use this pipe for gas lines?

Troubleshooting

Pipe leaks at a fitting

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the grab ring is secure. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting and replace if necessary.

Difficulty bending the pipe

Warm the pipe gently with a heat gun to increase flexibility, and use pipe bending springs to prevent kinking.

Fittings are difficult to connect

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pipe end if needed.

Low water pressure

Check for any kinks or blockages in the pipe. Ensure the pipe size is appropriate for the application.
