Push Fit Pipes

Push Fit Pipes are lightweight, flexible, and designed for fast, secure installation within modern plumbing and heating systems. They work seamlessly with push fit fittings to create reliable, watertight connections without the need for heat, adhesives, or specialist tools.

About Push Fit Pipes

Push fit pipes are typically made from durable plastic materials such as PEX, PB, or PE-RT. Their flexibility and ease of handling make them ideal for both new installations and retrofit projects. When inserted into a compatible push fit fitting, the pipe forms a strong, sealed joint supported by internal O-rings and grab-rings.

These pipes are widely used across domestic and commercial plumbing due to their corrosion resistance, ease of routing, and suitability for both hot and cold water systems.

Benefits

  • Flexible and lightweight: Easy to handle and route through tight spaces.
  • Fast installation: Works instantly with push fit fittings—no heat or chemicals required.
  • Corrosion-resistant: Will not rust or degrade like some metal pipes.
  • Durable and long-lasting: Designed for high performance in modern plumbing systems.
  • Quiet operation: Reduced water hammer and noise compared to rigid metal pipework.

Applications

  • Domestic hot and cold water supply.
  • Central heating systems (manufacturer dependent).
  • Underfloor heating loops and manifolds.
  • Bathroom, kitchen, and utility installations.
  • Retrofit and refurbishment projects where flexibility is essential.

Key Features

  • Manufactured from high-quality PEX, PB, or PE-RT materials.
  • Compatible with most major push fit fittings when used with pipe inserts.
  • Available in standard plumbing sizes (e.g., 10mm, 15mm, 22mm, 28mm).
  • Flexible construction for easier routing and reduced joint requirements.
  • High resistance to scaling and chemical corrosion.
  • Suitable for pressures up to 10 bar (varies by brand).

Usage & Technical Info

Cut the pipe cleanly and square using the recommended pipe cutter, then deburr as needed. For all plastic push fit pipes, use the appropriate pipe inserts before engaging with the fitting to maintain pipe shape and ensure proper sealing.

Typical technical ratings (manufacturer specific):

  • Pressure: Up to 10 bar for standard domestic systems.
  • Temperature: -20°C to +95°C depending on material type.
  • Material compatibility: Suitable for push fit fittings designed for PEX, PB, and PE-RT pipes.
  • Flexibility rating: High flexibility for reduced joint count and easier routing.

Always check compatibility between pipe type and fitting brand, and follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines for best results.
