Polypipe Barrier Pipe

Cutting the Polyplumb Pipe

When cutting the Polypipe pipe make sure it is not scored or scratched in any way. A polypipe pipe cutter must always be used (PB781). The pipe is to be cut squarely using the ""K"" marks on the pipe as a guide. The ""K"" marks indicate when the pipe has been inserted into the fitting correctly.

Using of pipe stiffener

Insert a pipe stiffener into the pipe (not required on copper pipe). Pipe stiffeners are an integral part of the joint when using Polypipe grey pipe with either Polyplumb fittings or compression fittings and need to be fully inserted into the pipe end. Polypipe offer 2 types of pipe stiffener to be used with Polyplumb fittings - metal and plastic. When using a pipe stiffener, ensure it is fully inserted before applying the fitting

Insert pipe fully into fitting

Insert the pipe into the fitting, ensuring it is inserted to the full socket depth denoted by the next ""K"" mark on the pipe.

Check Joint Security

A quick tug on the pipe will confirm that the pipe is inserted past the grab ring and that grab ring was present in the fitting. It does not however ensure that the pipe is fully inserted as this can only be confirmed by using the depth insertion mark.

Please Note: Do not re-joint. If a joint has been dismantled, it should not be re-jointed as there is a risk that the outer edge of the grab ring will have become damaged and this will reduce the pull-out performance of the joint when subjected to pressure.
