Plumbing - push-in connectors
Do not use stainless steel, chrome or nickel plated pipe with the flexible hose
push-in plumbing connections.
Do not introduce solder flux into the joint or surrounding area, as plastics will
be attacked and may fail.
All solder joints should be completed before final connection to push-in
connections, on the flexible hose. Flux residues must be removed.
Do not allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners or
strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.
1.
Make sure that the pipe is free from all score marks and deformities in the area
of the insertion depth and cut the pipe square removing all burrs and sharp edges
to prevent damage to the 'O' seal.
2.
Before inserting the pipe into the fitting, mark the insert depth on the wall of the
pipe with a soft pencil at a distance of 33 mm from the end to be inserted (refer
to illustration).
3.
Check in the mouth of the fitting that the 'O' seal, nylon washer and collet are in
position (refer to illustration).

4.
Push the pipe firmly into the fitting, until the pencil mark is level with the top of
the collet and the pipe stop resistance is felt. Pull on the pipe to make sure that
it is secure and fitted correctly.
5.
To release the joint, push the pipe firmly into the fitting, hold the collet down
and gently remove the pipe.
Caution! Be careful when draining any residual water.
