15mm White SPEEDFIT Collet Locking Clip - CM1815W - Pack of 10

Product Information

Properly installed, Speedfit pipes are virtually silent in operation and do not resonate; they absorb the acoustic vibrations and pressure waves created by cavitations, water hammer, float operated valve oscillation and other hydraulic effects. The inherent flexibility of Speedfit pipe effectively eliminates these troublesome problems, including those that occur when, due to thermal expansion, metal pipes rub against structural members and where long, straight runs of rigid pipe amplify water borne noise. Protection against rodents They are made using precision engineering, extensive research, and rigorous testing, Speedfit products blend push-fit and multi-seal technology for a reliable leak-proof connection. Simple to install and using fewer links than traditional methods, Speedfit cuts installation time by 40% so that you can say goodbye to time-consuming and costly plumbing jobs. Plus, no tools are required when installing or demounting fittings, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces or readjust joins. Push the pipe into the fitting, up to the pipe stop. If the Speedfit Pipe has been cut correctly the insertion mark on the pipe will be level with the collet head. The ‘O’ ring on the Superseal Pipe Insert provides a secondary seal against the bore of the fitting. A good connection has been made.

Speedfit is well suited for timber frame construction. Ensure that the structural integrity is not compromised when installing the pipework. Speedfit pipe and fittings are stabilised to withstand limited exposure to ultra-violet radiation in sunlight but are not designed for permanent direct exposure. Under such conditions painting or lagging is required. Pipe and fittings should also be lagged to prevent frost damage. Chemical Effects

Details

On long exposed runs of pipework, the expansion of Speedfit pipe when warm (1% on length between 20°C and 82°C) can cause it to sag between clip fixings. When this is undesirable, pipework can be boxed in or replaced with rigid copper pipe. Speedfit needs no jointing materials, eliminating the risk of fire from the use of blowlamp, solder and flux. Traditional joists For the installation of central heating systems flushing procedures must be in line with BS7593 code of practice for treatment of water in domestic hot water heating systems. Holes may be located vertically anywhere in the web, but leave 3mm web at the top and/or bottom of hole. Do not cut into joist flanges when cutting the web.

That’s right, plastic push-fit fittings are completely tool free. The pipe simply needs to be inserted within the fitting, where leak free connection is ensured with that same push-fit action, for which no tools are required. Because of this push-fit fittings are entirely demountable, meaning they can be disconnected and reused should a system need to be dismounted. In accordance with BS7291 : Part 1 Clause 6.7, the opacity of both pipes and fittings allows insufficient light to pass for the growth of algae. Identification: The pipe has not been fully inserted up to the pipe stop or one or both of the ‘O’ rings have been damaged by burrs or sharp edges on the end of the pipe. Please refer to our warnings in “How to Make a Connection”. If more than one hole is to be cut in the web, the distance between the edges of the holes must be at least twice the diameter of the largest hole. For general guidance on pipework sizing, please refer to BS6700 or the Institute of Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide. Speedfit fittings are suitable for pipes within ±0.1mm of nominal size. They can be used with copper pipe to BS EN 1057 or Speedfit plastic pipe.Speedfit is well suited for steel frame construction and care should be taken when installing the pipework. Rigid pipe, such as copper, can only be fed under floor in short lengths. However, Speedfit pipe, being flexible, can run from one fitting to another without having to install a connector in between. Pipework can be “cabled” through drilled holes in joists and rafters. Therefore, pipework can be installed after floorboards have been laid if access is available from the lower floor before ceilings have been installed. Problem: A fitting or part of a fitting dissolved – the fitting may have blown off the pipe and may have missing component parts. The insulation requirements for Speedfit pipe are the same as those for copper and should comply with BS6700 and BS5422. Concealed Pipework

Speedfit pipe and fittings can be laid in concrete and masonry provided they are installed in conduit pipe with access boxes for the fittings. As stated in Water Regulation Schedule 2.7 and BS8000 : Part 15, fittings and pipe should be removable for possible replacement. Insulation is also recommended to protect against heat loss and the effects of frost. As with all installations, make sure that any pipework passing through walls and floors does not affect the fire resistant properties of the structure. Dry lined wallsThe second type uses a screw and, therefore, takes a little longer to fix. When pipes are required to cross over, it is possible to add a spacer to the clip. This will give room between the pipe and the wall to allow the pipes to cross over. If pipework needs to be insulated, using the spacer will give room for the lagging to be applied. We take pride in the quality of our products and all complaints are investigated thoroughly. If you have a problem with a Speedfit Product please return both fitting and pipe to us for investigation. We will need at least 50mm of pipe to ensure an accurate analysis. If there is a suspicion that the pipe is faulty, please provide marking details from the pipe. Common Problems and Identification Initially push-fit fittings were being used for fuel systems and now they are an essential part involved with low-pressure power steering systems and aiding the development of greener engines.
