Securplumb 15mm Pipe Insert (Pack of 4)

Reliable Reinforcement for Plastic Plumbing Pipes

Product Overview

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.
