John Mills Speedfit KM39767 - Manual (Page 5)

Use a collet cover or collet clip to provide added security
against pipe disconnection, e.g. the fitting coming into
contact with rigid surfaces and behind dry-lining walls.
Collet covers for use with standard Speedfit fittings, are
available in white or in red or blue to allow colour coding of pipes.
Stops are located at the following distances from the end
of the fitting:
size 10mm 15mm 22mm 28mm
stop distance 20mm 30mm 35mm 44mm
Collet cover
Collet clips are available in grey and white for use with
standard
fittings to prevent accidental pipe
disconnection.
Red or blue collet clips provide colour coding of pipe on
twist and lock fittings.
They are not designed to prevent accidental release and
should be fitted when the fitting is in the locked position.

The action of pressure in a system could increase the grip
of the collet. The release aid allows a firmer grip on the
collet whilst removing the pipe.

The unique feature of the
Speedfit Concept, the ability
to disconnect the fitting
should you want to, means
the Speedfit Stop End not
only provides a permanent
leakproof seal, but can be
readily removed to allow
work to restart or to allow
an extension to a system.
Thus, the fitting is especially
useful to allow water to be
turned back on, overnight for
instance, or if a job has to be
interrupted for another reason.
Stop end
Stop ends are also useful when pressure testing a system
before appliances are connected.
Designed to simplify pipe connection
in restricted spaces. The Speedfit
Stem Elbow provides an instant swivel
fitting so pipe can be orientated in
any direction.
A special 10mm version gives a neat
connection from concealed plumbing to
a radiator

The Speedfit range of brass
chromium plated service
valves can be used on both
hot and cold water services
and central heating. Push fit
connections mean much
reduced installation time,
especially in confined spaces.
The valves, in 10 to 22mm,
have a 1/4 turn open/close
mechanism operated by a
screwdriver slot or a lever.
Tap connector patterns have
a u n i o n n u t t o c o n n e c t
direct to a tap or floatvalve.
Lever operated valves are
supplied with both a blue
and a red indice.
The ability of Speedfit products
t o t w i s t w h i l s t i n s i t u
allows the screwdriver slot
operating valve to be turned
out of sight, helping to avoid
unauthorised tampering.

SERVICE VALVE
Speedfit manufacturer a wide range of connectors
including conventional straight and bent tap connectors.
The range also offers a special and
unique Tap Connector that only
requires a simple hand tightening to
connect up a terminal tap, mixer or
float valve. An integral seal within the
fitting avoids the need for further
sealant. The connectors are useful
when replacing existing brassware or
in other confined spaces.
Coupling up to a supply is easy. The
pipe is simply pushed home into
the Speedfit connection and is
instantly secured, without the need
for specialist tools.
TAP CONNECTORS
Speedfit have introduced an innovative 22mm x 10mm 4
way manifold. Departing from the usual manifold design,
this new product has 4 in-line 10mm outlets, offering a
neater envelope size and therefore a much smaller
installation space.
Other benefits include better flow characteristics and a
more even distribution of hot water.
The 22mm and 10mm Speedfit push-fit connections make
for a fast and easy installation, even in confined spaces.
Whilst designed as a heating product, the manifold can
also be used in a mains pressure hot or cold domestic
plumbing system, to feed bathroom or kitchen taps and
mixers. This allows for a more efficient installation as
every terminal fitting has its own dedicated supply.
SPEEDFIT MANIFOLD
The Speedfit range includes an Appliance Tap for
the permanent connection of washing machines and
dishwashers, thus enabling complete water isolation to
the appliance.
A simple push fit connection of the supply pipe and a
plastic thread on the outlet to marry well with the plastic
thread on the hose means the Speedfit Appliance Tap is very
easy to install. The large round handle is easy to grip and turn.
APPLIANCE TAP
The Speedfit Connection, when made with the insert, has
a number of design features.
Sliding the stem of the insert into the pipe gives greater
compression of the main ‘O’ ring on the pipe and greater
rigidity of the length of pipe within the fitting, reducing the
chance of leaks if a side load is applied.
A connection is easier to make because the head of the
insert has been designed for ease of insertion.
Superseal Inserts are listed on page 14.

Manufactured to a quality you would expect from Speedfit,
our range of Flexi Hoses has 40 different patterns.
Available in lengths from 150mm to 1,000mm, ends are
either push fit to union nut or push fit to push fit, including
hoses with an integral service valve operated by a 1/4 turn
screwdriver slot.
Apart from being aesthetically pleasing the new white
hoses offer more flexibility and a larger through bore
for better flow characteristics.
More specialist patterns
have been designed to help
the installation of monobloc
mixers to a 15mm supply.
Sold in pairs, each hose in
the pair has a different
spanner location to ease
connection of the threaded
end into the monobloc’s
inlets.
The hoses are suitable for cold water up to 10 Bar and
hot water (65˚C max) up to 6 Bar and approved by WRAS.
The Superseal Pipe Insert has been developed to be used
with Speedfit Barrier Pipe and Speedfit Fittings to provide
an extra line of defence when installing a Speedfit Push
Fit System.
The insert has it’s own ‘O’ ring which, with a stem sliding
within the inside of the pipe, gives a secondary seal
against the inside of the fitting.
