FAQs
Q: Can I reuse the connector if I need to disconnect the pipes?

Q: Is this connector suitable for hot water?
A: It is suitable for typical domestic hot water waste systems but not for high-pressure or pressurised systems.
Q: Can this be used with push-fit pipe?
A: Yes, as long as the pipe diameter is correct (32mm or 40mm), it can connect to standard push-fit or solvent weld pipe.
