22mm Push Fit Flofit+ Coupling
In a plumbing system, push fit couplings are used to join two lengths of plumbing pipe together. These couplings can be installed, removed and re-used with ease by simply inserting said pipe while using a pipe insert and twisting the plastic nut to lock it in place, then untwisting it if the pipe needs to be removed.

Can you use push fit on copper pipes?
Although push fit fittings were designed to be used in conjunction with plastic pipes, they are also fully compatible with traditional copper pipe plumbing. This is particularly useful in the very common scenario where you only need to replace one part of your old plumbing system as opposed to removing the whole thing and starting again from scratch. Our plastic push fit pipes and fittings are available in the two most common sizes of copper tubing; 15mm and 22mm.
How does push fit work?
Push-fit connectors typically have an 'O'-ring seal and a metal-toothed grab ring to secure the pipe and produce a watertight seal. It's the same sort of connector you'd find on a power washer's hose, or the compressor-driven equipment technicians use while working on your car. Those fittings must be able to endure hundreds of pounds of pressure over long periods.
What is the difference between press fit and push fit?
Unlike press-fit systems, they do not require any additional equipment to install. After the pipes have been cut, measured, and deburred, the actual jointing takes only seconds to accomplish.
Push fit plumbing myths
1.“Soldering pipes is a skill, any allowing anyone to use plastic push fit fittings devalues the trade.” - There is still skill in fitting push fit systems - the MOST important skill a professional plumber can have is their knowledge and ability to recommend the best system for each individual application, and if this happens to be push fit, the plumber is not losing a skill, but in fact utilising their most efficient and important one. Similarly, although soldering is a great skill for plumbers to have, the understanding of the system and ability to correctly lock pipes into position is a key skill not to be undermined. First timers often incorrectly lock together their push fit systems, so the value of a professional is never wasted.
2.“Plastic push fit fittings can only be used with plastic pipes, so you can’t use them with metal systems.” – Incorrect! Push fit fittings are designed to be used to lock any two pipes together, and these can even be two different materials. Out push fit range is compatible with both copper and brass.
3.“Plastic won’t last as long as copper or brass!” – Plastic actually lasts incredibly long, and is not prone to rust like some metal materials. All of our push fit pipes and fittings are WRAS approved, meaning they have been rigorously tested and are proven to be highly durable.
Benefits of push fit plumbing
Push fit plumbing systems are becoming more and more popular in homes around the UK. They’re quick and easy to install, as well as being incredibly durable. One great benefit of push fit pipes that most people don’t consider is that they’re a brilliant alternative when you cannot use welding or burning methods to join pipes, such as in properties with thatched roofs – of which there are many in the UK!kk As well as this key feature, push fit plumbing systems boast a whole host of benefits, such as:
The installation is much faster due to there being no need to solder or weld pipes together.
- Pipe repairs can be completed much easier – usually just by slipping on a new push fit fitting.
- They can be used as both a permanent and a temporary fix, and the fittings can easily be removed if necessary.
- The variety of sizes makes them suitable for most hot and cold-water applications.
- Plastic is less expensive than copper, and installation is more cost effective due to the quick speed the system takes to fit.
- The pipes are lead free, corrosion free and non-toxic, and less likely to burst in the winter months.
- The pipes and fittings can withstand both heat and pressure. In fact, they’re often tested to standards greater than any required in domestic situations.
- Plastic pipe won’t scale up in areas of hard water, reducing the risk of pipe blockages.
