Release aid
The action of pressure in a system could increase the grip
of the collet. The release aid allows a firmer grip on the
collet whilst removing the pipe.
The unique feature of the Speedfit concept, the ability
to disconnect the fitting should you want to, means
the Speedfit Stop End not only provides a permanent
leakproof seal, but can be readily removed to allow
work to restart or to allow an extension to a system.
Thus, the fitting is especially useful to allow water to
be turned back on, overnight for instance, or if a job
has to be interrupted for another reason.
Stop ends are also useful when pressure testing a
system before appliances are connected.
The Speedfit range of brass chromium plated service
valves can be used on both hot and cold water services
and central heating. Push-fit connections mean much
reduced installation time, especially in confined spaces.
The valves, in 10 to 22mm, have a 1/4 turn open/close
mechanism operated by a screwdriver slot or a lever.
The ability of Speedfit products to twist whilst in-situ
allows the screwdriver slot operating valve to be turned
out of sight, helping to avoid unauthorised tampering.
Designed to simplify pipe connection in restricted spaces.
The Speedfit Stem Elbow provides an instant swivel
fitting so pipe can be orientated in any direction.
A special 10mm version gives a neat connection from
concealed plumbing to a radiator.
