    JG Speedfit compatibility

    Are JG Speed fit fittings compatible with most 15mm plastic pipe? I want to swap out the tees and replace with JG Speedfit. Mainly because I'm not happy with the Flexi hose going into the back of the shower mixer valve. I want to remove the Flexi, fit a new one with an 90 elbow on the end, from...

    Chasing CH pipes using speedfit

    I'm chasing some walls and using speedfit for pipes to the radiators. I'll be using conduit and want to transition to copper ends which will connect to the rads. Can I bury the speedfit fittings (elbows etc)? What are the options for pipe exiting the wall and connecting to the rads? Do I...

    Supporting speedfit pipes under 1st floor floorboards

    Hi. What would you recommend for pipe support whilst running 15mm central heating pipes parallel to floor joists? My idea is to screw wood supports perpendicular to the joists and clip the pipes to the top, or, screw-in wood supports with 22mm holes and pass through the pipe. When the pipe...

    What is the minimum distance between Speedfit connectors?

    I need to fit a valve into my sink feed and space is tight. Just enough to get a tool in to release them later. Thanks.

    15mm / 10mm 3-part reducers

    Been in the garage having a practise with 3-part compression reducers on 10mm Speedfit pipe and it hasn’t gone particularly well and i wonder what i am doing wrong? I found that the olive (swapped a copper one for the brass one due to plastic pipe) and bottom part that pokes out of the nut were...

    Max distance for 10mm tails off 22mm flow and return

    I’m considering my options for moving (JG) pipework from an inaccessible place whilst the floor is up. One option might be to use 2 x JG 4-port manifolds, mounted in a much more convenient location. But, this would mean adding 2 - 3 metres to the 10mm tails (off flow and return) and i’m not sure...

    Central Heating - Pipe Sizing?

    A couple of years ago I had a new central heating system installed as part of a full modernisation. Unfortunately I’ve been having problems with other aspects of the renovation so for a while I’ve been running it without a control system or TRV’s (I have a Honeywell EvoHome set ready to go but...

    Speedfit to copper on central heating systems.

    As per the title. What do you think of using Speedfit in part of the cental heating system? In particular a 15mm x 300mm flexi pipe. Bent at 90 degrees. See link. Not sure what I am dealing with yet but I suspect a leaky Yorkshire elbow below the floorboards. Rather than remove it, clean it...

    Polyplumb or speedfit

    Which out of these 2 is cheapest. I always thought polyplumb was cheaper but I seem to be paying a fortune for it. I can even buy 15mm elbows cheaper at b&q.

    Is it possible to use jg speedfit pipe and fitting, to replace small section of copper?

    hi, so we had tried to fit an isolation valve into copper pipe that came close from the mains supply, but i'm not proud of it. we had to leave the mains water valve at half pressure or else the fittings would leak/pop off. It was my first attempt at plumbing and i assumed i could easily move the...

    Burnt speedfit fitting-is it a problem?

    Hi I had to take the plinth boards off in the kitchen to install a new oven and at the back I saw this speedfit fitting. It’s a 10mm fitting on the central heating loop, and it feeds the kitchen radiator. I think it’s the flow feed, not the return. To me it looks like at may have been burnt...
