Securplumb 15mm Pipe Insert Pk4

Reliable Reinforcement for Plastic Plumbing Pipes

The Securplumb 15mm Pipe Insert is an essential plumbing accessory designed to reinforce plastic pipes and ensure a secure, leak-free connection when used with push-fit or compression fittings. These inserts are specifically engineered to maintain the shape and structural integrity of plastic pipe ends, preventing distortion or collapse under compression.

Each pack includes 4 pipe inserts suitable for use with standard 15mm plastic plumbing pipes, making it a practical and convenient choice for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts.

Key Features

• Pipe Size Compatibility: Designed specifically for 15mm plastic pipes, including popular brands of PEX and polybutylene pipes used in domestic water and central heating systems.
• Structural Reinforcement: Prevents pipe deformation and collapse at the joint, ensuring a secure fit and long-lasting seal with compression and push-fit fittings.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, resilient plastic, these inserts are built to withstand internal water pressure and frequent thermal expansion and contraction.
• Leak Prevention: By maintaining the internal diameter of the pipe, Securplumb inserts reduce the risk of leaks at connection points.
• Easy Installation: Simply insert into the end of the pipe before fitting – no tools required. The snug fit ensures ease of use while providing maximum performance.
• Corrosion-Resistant: Unlike metal inserts, these non-metallic pipe inserts will not corrode over time, making them ideal for long-term plumbing installations.
• Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for hot and cold water supply systems, central heating systems, and underfloor heating installations.
