Plastic pushfit
Push fit fittings are an alternative to solder and compression, no special tools are required to make the joints, although special attention must be paid when cutting the pipe, and the use of a pipe cutter as recommended by the manufacturer should only be used.
Push fit fittings can be used on copper or plastic pipe, but not on chrome plated pipe, as the grip ring can not function on a chrome surface.
For correct installation methods to the brands we stock, please refer to the individual manufacturers installation instructions.
