Securplumb 22mm Pipe Insert Pack 4

Essential Pipe Reinforcement for Reliable Plumbing Connections

The Securplumb 22mm Pipe Insert is a high-quality plumbing accessory designed to reinforce 22mm plastic plumbing pipes, ensuring a secure, leak-free connection when used with push-fit or compression fittings. These inserts help maintain the shape and structural integrity of plastic pipe ends, particularly under pressure or mechanical stress.

Ideal for professional plumbers and DIY users, this pack contains 4 individual inserts, offering great value and convenience for multiple installation or repair tasks.

Key Features

• Pipe Compatibility: Suitable for all standard 22mm plastic pipes, including PEX and polybutylene, commonly used in residential water supply and heating systems.
• Structural Integrity: Prevents pipe collapse and ovality at the joint, allowing for a more secure and longer-lasting seal when using compression or push-fit fittings.
• Robust Construction: Made from high-strength plastic, these inserts provide durability and resistance to internal pressure and temperature fluctuations over time.
• Improved Leak Protection: Ensures the internal diameter of the pipe remains consistent, supporting a better fit for sealing mechanisms inside fittings.
• Easy to Use: No specialist tools required. Simply insert into the pipe end prior to fitting installation.
• Corrosion-Free: Unlike metal inserts, these plastic versions will not rust or corrode, making them ideal for long-term use in wet or humid environments.
• Wide Application: Compatible with domestic hot and cold water systems, underfloor heating, and central heating installations.
