JG Speedfit Superseal Pipe Insert
Useful Information
What is a John Guest Speedfit 90 Degree Tee Used For?
The JG Speedfit Superseal Pipe Insert is designed for secure and reliable connections when fitting a Speedfit pipe to a Speedfit push-fit fitting. It is crucial in providing extra support to the pipework, helping to maintain the shape of the pipe ends after cutting, and ensuring a tighter, more reliable seal. This insert is specifically engineered for use with both hot and cold water systems as well as central heating systems, making it a versatile choice for a variety of plumbing installations.
Difference Between Standard Pipe Insert and Superseal
While standard pipe inserts provide basic support and sealing capabilities, the Superseal variant enhances these functions significantly. The Superseal Pipe Insert features dual O-Rings, which offer a superior sealing effect compared to the single seal typically found in standard inserts. The first O-Ring is strategically placed on the stem of the insert to prevent leakage from within the pipe, while the second O-Ring seals inside the push-fit fitting itself, ensuring an effective barrier against leaks at the joint. This dual O-Ring system results in an advanced, multi-seal protection that is not available with standard pipe inserts.
