Push Fit Fittings

Push Fit Fittings provide a fast, reliable, and tool-free method of connecting plumbing pipes. They are widely used in modern domestic and commercial systems due to their simplicity, versatility, and strong, watertight performance.

About Push Fit Fittings

Push fit fittings use internal stainless-steel grab-rings and high-quality O-ring seals to create a secure connection when the pipe is pushed into place. This eliminates the need for soldering, glue, or specialist tools—making them ideal for rapid installations, emergency repairs, and situations with limited access.

Designed for compatibility with a range of pipe materials, push fit fittings are suitable for hot and cold water systems, heating circuits, and various plumbing applications where speed and ease of use are essential.

Benefits

  • Tool-free installation: Simply push the pipe into the fitting—no heat or adhesives needed.
  • Exceptionally quick: Perfect for fast repairs and high-speed installation work.
  • Demountable options: Many push fit fittings can be disconnected and reused with release tools.
  • Reliable sealing: O-ring design ensures long-term leak protection.
  • Clean and safe: No flames, fumes, or drying time required.

Applications

  • Hot and cold potable water systems.
  • Domestic and light commercial heating circuits (model dependent).
  • Boiler and radiator connections.
  • Bathroom, kitchen, and utility room installations.
  • Maintenance, retrofits, and emergency plumbing repairs.

Key Features

  • Manufactured from durable polymer or brass.
  • Internal stainless-steel teeth for secure pipe grip.
  • EPDM O-ring seals for watertight performance.
  • Available in couplings, elbows, tees, reducers, service valves, stop ends, and adapters.
  • Typical pressure rating up to 10 bar (varies by manufacturer).
  • Temperature resistance suitable for hot water and heating applications.

Usage & Technical Info

Ensure the pipe is cut square, clean, and fully deburred. Insert the pipe firmly into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop. Use pipe inserts with flexible plastic pipes to maintain rigidity and ensure proper sealing.

Typical technical ratings (may differ by manufacturer):

  • Pressure: Up to 10 bar for standard domestic systems.
  • Temperature: 0°C to +95°C for most push fit fittings.
  • Material compatibility: Suitable for PEX, PB, PE-RT, and often copper.
  • Seal type: EPDM O-rings for potable water applications.

Always check manufacturer specifications and ensure the fitting is compatible with your system’s pipework and operating conditions.
