What is the main advantage of Flofit+ fittings?

The main advantage is their push-fit, demountable, and reusable nature, which allows for quick installation and easy adjustments or repairs without special tools.

Do I need any special tools to install this stopend?

No, standard pipe cutters for a clean, square cut are generally sufficient. The push-fit mechanism requires no specialized tools for connection or disconnection.

Can this stopend be used with copper pipes?

No, the Flofit+ range is specifically designed for use with plastic plumbing pipes.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Floplast Flofit+ FE22 22mm Stopend comes with a 50-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Can I use this fitting in an area with very hard water?

Yes, the Flofit+ fittings are suitable for use in both hard and soft water areas.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Ensure the pipe is cut square, clean, and fully inserted into the stopend, along with a pipe insert. Then, tighten the locking nut securely.

Can this fitting be used for both hot and cold water?

Yes, it is suitable for use with drinking water (hot and cold) and central heating systems.

Troubleshooting

Stopend leaking after installation

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the locking nut is securely tightened. Check that a pipe insert was used and that the pipe end is clean and cut square. Verify the pipe is the correct 22mm size and compatible plastic type.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Confirm the pipe is clean, square-cut, and free from burrs. Lightly lubricate the pipe end with water or a suitable silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure the fitting's internal seal is clear of debris.

Pipe will not lock securely

Verify that a pipe insert is correctly positioned within the pipe end. Check that the locking nut is being twisted fully to engage the pipe. Inspect the fitting for any damage to the internal locking mechanism.

Fitting is difficult to demount

Ensure the locking nut is fully untwisted. If the pipe is still difficult to remove, check for any debris or damage around the fitting's release mechanism. A gentle wiggle might help.
