UNDERGROUND FITTINGS
Speedfit underground fittings for metric size polyethylene
cold water service pipe have been designed for
connection of:
1. Blue MDPE pipes to BS 6572 - used for underground
service pipes for potable water.
2. Black MDPE pipes to BS6730 - used for conveyance
of potable water above ground or for industrial
services above or below ground.
3. Pipe to ISO 161/1, ISO 3607 and DIN 16893.
Making the connection could not be easier. All you need is
the pipe, the fitting and a pair of hands. The range is
designed to provide a long service life and includes adaptors
for screwed pipe, copper and imperial sized LDPE.

Collet Cover
Push the pipe up to the
pipe stop. The collet has
teeth that grip the pipe
whilst the ‘O’ ring provides
a permanent leak proof
seal.
Ensure that the system is
depressurised. Release and
pull back collet cover.
Push in collet square against
the face of fitting.
With the collet held in this position, the pipe can be withdrawn.
We recommend the replacement of the ‘O’ ring and collet
before making a new connection.
Remove collet cover, pull
out metric size collet and
‘O’ ring. Keep with metric
pipe support liner for future use.
Carefully push imperial size
‘O’ ring and collet into
position, ensuring seal is
clean before insertion.
Replace the snap-fit collet
cover and, having inserted
the imperial pipe support,
connect the pipe as
shown above.
