| How
to use push-on fittings! |
|
|
WHALE push-on fittings and semi rigid
pipe for Caravan and Motorhome plumbing installations.
Both are compatible and may be substituted. Both 12mm and 15mm pipe diameters
and fittings are available with various connections and adapters to allow
fitting screw-on taps and appliances.
May be used for hot and cold water. |
Step 1
- Prepare the connection |
 |
Cut the pipe square ensuring it is free of score
marks. For soft or thin walled plastic pipe we recommend the
use of a tube insert or pipe insert. RED and BLUE 12mm and
15mm pipe sold at Caravans Plus does NOT require the tube insert
ends. |
 |
NOTE: Do NOT use a hacksaw |
 |
NOTE: To avoid damage to the
'O' Ring, make sure burrs and sharp edges are removed |
 |
With the fitting clean and undamaged
and the pipe cut square, you are now ready to make the connection.
Do not insert fingers into the fitting as the stainless
steel teeth may cause injury. |
Step 2 - Assemble the
connection
Connecting standard 12mm Push-on or 15mm push-on fittings |
 |
Push up to pipe stop |
 |
Push the pipe into the fitting,
to the pipe stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel
teeth which hold the pipe firmly in position whilst the 'O'
Ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.
Pull to check secure |
 |
An optional LOCKING CLIP (shown
red) and COLLET COVER) is available to ensure the fitting
will not part in extreme conditions.
The cover is placed on the pipe prior to joining. After
pipe is in the fitting the red clip in pushed into the
gap, and the snap fitting cover makes a tidy and 100% secure
fitting. |
Disconnecting standard
push-on fittings |
 |
Ensure system is depressurised
before removing fittings. Push in the collet against the
face of the fitting.
With the collet held in this position the pipe can be
removed. The fitting can then be re-used. |
