Plastic on copper? No trust.
Just what I was looking for. Need to replace my worktop and this is what holds the sink pipes together. Cheers for the info.
Never trust plastic fittings, been let down too many times by them. As said below the generation of Arlington MA Plumber these days struggle when it comes to working with copper yorkie, outer lite fittings. And it’s actually a laugh when they try to use a bending machine.
plumbers…they’re all cowboys now !!!!!. Push fits & flexibles. Makes you wonder how many can actually bend a pipe & make a soldered joint.
!!
I was referring to the part in the video where you instruct the user to “push the nut over the pipe and fully insert the pipe in the fitting before tightening the nut.”
This is a video not about how to use the fittings but to make the user aware about how they are push fit fittings as it says in the first line “This instructional video will show you how a push fit fitting works” sorry if you have been misled. Kind Regards PP
I suggest you read the instructions that come with the fittings. They are called push fit for a reason. You show them being used as a compression fitting but they should not be taken apart before fitting them to the pipe.
I’ve rarely ever used these – only when supplied with showers or water softeners (when I cant get a compression fitting on). Over in Ireland we only really use Tec-Tite or compression fittings for such connections – although I prefer to solder or silver solder any hot connections.
Any idea on what pressure they’ll hold when hot water is run through them?
Going to Home Depot and see if they have it.I bought compression fittings but they didnt hold.Will try this over the weekend.Thnx plumberparts.
According to Hep, the new generation pipe they do will work at 12bar at 20 degrees C so that’s about 174PSI which is pretty insane. Regards PP
Good vid and easily understood. Can those fittings hold under 60-80 lbs of pressure or are they just good for lower pressure pipes like sprinkler systems?
Hi there. Make sure you get the insert that relates to your pipe manufacturer (JG speedfit/hep20 etc) otherwise they will not fit! Go to our website plumberparts.co.uk then click on screwfix
Regards PP
Any idea where I can get one of them ‘small metal sleeves’ ?
Using the new advanced hep 2 0 now. A much better product in white, no nuts, no fiddling about !
nice explanation good job
Yeah, I much prefer Speedfit. Just haven’t done a vid yet! Regards PP
hep2o is shit. speedfit is the champ. imo
Thanks for showing the internal parts of the fitting! Even though the model I bought isn’t exactly the same, you helped to give me a general idea of how to put mine back together again after it accidentally fell apart. Great information, and again, thank you!
Hi there, yes it is for the purposes of the vid. Thanks for the feedback though, it helps us improve our videos for next time round!
one observation a made is that the fitting was assembled on the pipe, as far as my knowledge on Hep2o goes. being a pushfit, the backnut should be left in place and not removed to form a joint. so the fitting should be fulle assembled and the pipe pushed into the fitting to ensure a correct joint. the fitting should also be clean. i realize that this was probably for the purpose of the video. Hep2o is a great product.
