John Guest Speedfit JG Pipe Cutter ~ Cuts up to 22mm Plastic Speedfit Pipe (1 per Pack)

Product Information

How it works though, is that is has convex and concave angled sharp metal to deburr the outer and inside of your pipe. Instead, I found fine wire wool worked so much better. For me, this tool was a waste of money. I WAS AFRAID OF LEAKS

Sometimes they forget the insert - easy to do. (the pipe can hold and then leak after an hour/day/years, this does not hapen with compression olives if they are missed off - you can't even tighten up). E: These are isolating valves (See isolating valves project) which spedfit make in a chrome plated finish or a plastic finish

What Can I Use SPEEDFIT® Fittings For?

Also, make sure you buy more than you think you'll need as you'll need two or three per fitting. REACH FOR THE STARS! Sometimes the grab rings corrode after 2 to 3 years. Other times they leak for the hell of it after testing and when they want to. Sometime the grab ring just fail but still intact. They say forget the 50 years guarantees, as the makers don't play ball.

Make sure the insert is pushed in firmly and it fits nice and snug. If it is sloppy or can be moved easily it is not the correct one and the chances are that the joint will leak.However, it was essential that I added copper pipe first in to my compression valve (see the shinier copper below). WHY? Because you can't insert speedfit plumbing plastic pipes in to the compression valves, but you can put plastic fittings on to copper pipe. So I still learned something out of my comfort zone. SPEEDFIT PLUMBING IS A DODDLE - SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO IF PREFERRED Building regulations state that pipe laid in floor screed must be removable, with the exception of pipes used in underfloor heating projects. They keep the ends shut. Remember that if you pull the ends inwards, it can pull off, providing you hadn't screwed the fatter parts closed. The image above shows some SPEEDFIT® plumbing in place for a shower valve to be fitted when the studs have been plaster boarded and the tiling done.
