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

Product Information

Speedfit can be disinfected with chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) after installation. Domestic systems are disinfected with a solution of chlorine with a concentration of 50ppm (mg/l) for one hour. The concentration should not be less that 30ppm at all draw off points after this time. Tests within the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme have approved Speedit pipe and fittings to BS 6920 for water quality. System testing

Of course, tools need to be used to cut pipes to size and ensure for clean connections between pipes and fittings, but to create the connection itself – no tools are required. Before carrying out a pressure test ensure all Speedfit pipe and fittings are installed correctly. Speedfit Barrier Pipe is printed with insertion marks to help ensure full insertion has been achieved.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”. All runs should be installed through preformed holes in the structure and protected by a rubber or plastic grommet. Speedfit Fittings have a unique grip then seal construction made up of a collet with stainless steel teeth to grip the pipe and an ‘O’ ring to provide a permanent leak proof seal. Use of the Superseal Pipe Insert ensures a double ‘O’ ring seal. 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.

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 Although currently push-fit fittings are commonly associated with plumbing and heating, the plastic push-fit concept has originally been designed by John Guest for compressed air applications in 1974. And ever since then many industries have benefited from this small but mighty solution. Here are some of them:All John Guest products are accredited with the leading testing and approval organizations, including WRAS, and are suitable for use with plastic or copper pipe. Features: 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. The flexibility of Speedfit pipe gives it the ability to be threaded through concealed or inaccessible spaces without disruption to surrounding structure, making major savings in installation time. Pipe clips should not be fitted any closer than 60mm from the end of the fitting to allow for expansion. Pipes should always be adequately supported to prevent undue stress or side load on the fittings. Recommended Clip spacing Pipe Diameter Remember that pressure testing is NOT a substitute for making sure fittings are clean and free of any grit, dirt or swarf and the pipe is correctly inserted (see “How to Make a Connection”). System Commissioning and Flushing

No taste, colour, odour or toxicity is imparted to water by Speedfit components, nor do they promote microbiological growth. White or grey collet clips are used with standard fittings to prevent accidental pipe disconnection. 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. 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 IdentificationSpeedfit Conduit Pipe is supplied in either 15mm or 22mm (internal diameter) sizes. The flexible convoluted pipe has an outside diameter of 24mm and 30mm. Coils of either 25m or 50m length are available. Exposed pipework This will also eliminate the risk of damage by floorboard nails. There is no need for dry runs since pipe can be cut and connections made in-situ.

It is also possible to bend Speedit Pipe using a standard pipe bender. The pipe should not be heated with a blowlamp or hot air gun. If the pipe passes through an external wall, care must be taken not to damage the vapour barrier. The pipe should be installed on the inside of the thermal insulation layer. If this is not possible, the use of conduit should be specified at the design stage. Steel framed construction The maximum heat carrying capacity and flow of Speedfit pipe, based on 1.2m/s velocity and an 11°C temperature drop is shown in the table below. Pipe size 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. Instructions on the drilling of joists is given in the Building Regulations Approved Document A, and summarised as follows:Pipe will be distorted showing either a ‘Parrot beak’ look or a long opening with the edges of the pipe melted in a wave shape. 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. Ensure the pipe is free of score marks. Cut the pipe square. When using Speedfit Barrier Pipe cut along an insertion mark. We recommend the use of JG Pipe Cutters. To prevent damage to the ‘O’ ring remove all burrs and sharp edges. 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.
