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?
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?
@JustRockinit 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
@PowderpuffPuncher 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
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!
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.
