Pipe Inserts in Push-fit Fittings

Discover the essential role of Pipe Inserts in Push-fit Fittings, also known as pipe stiffeners, in reinforcing plastic water pipes when connected to push fit fittings. Uncover why they’re unnecessary for copper pipes and how they ensure a secure, pressure-resistant seal in MDPE water pipes.

 


 

Why Pipe Inserts Matter

Plastic Water Pipe Support: Understand the purpose of pipe inserts in providing structural support to plastic water pipes during connection with push fit fittings.

Preventing Deformation: Learn how inserts prevent plastic pipes from deforming, ensuring a secure grip ring and seal within push-fit fittings, preventing potential bursts under pressure.

 


 

Not Needed for Copper Pipes

Strength of Copper: Explore why pipe inserts are not required when connecting push fit parts to copper pipes, as the pipe walls inherently maintain their strength.

 


 

Consistent Use Across Pipe Types

MDPE Water Pipes: Discover that the use of pipe inserts remains the same, whether with white or grey water pipes or specifically with MDPE water pipes.

 


 

Conclusion

Empower your plumbing knowledge by understanding the critical role of pipe inserts, ensuring secure and reliable connections in various water pipe systems.
