Joining 15mm plastic and copper pipes using copper push on connectors

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.47 PM

I would like to connect a 15mm copper pipe to a 15mm plastic pipe using 15mm push on copper connectors. Do the connectors have a secure hold on the plastic? I want to use them in a heating system which has a header tank so not a lot of pressure on them. The pipes will be concealed within a wall. Will they do the job? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Thanks wilkinson construction. The problem was that unless I chased the back wall there was only 19 mm clearance between the back wall and the front panel. I needed the job done so I have chased the wall to give me the necessary clearance to use a Speedfit connector. But thanks again. Harry F.

Common practice to use 'speed fit' fittings for the application you want to carry out. Don't forget to use the inserts if joining plastic speed fit pipe to a plastic speed fit fittings. http://www.plumbase.com/section2502/page1/john-guest-speedfit
