Description
Polypipe PB9515 DetailsThe Polyplumb Component Kit 15mm is supplied as a cap-nut with all the socket components present in the correct order and retained by a retaining cap.
It is required whenever a Polyplumb fitting needs dismantling.On no account should a pipe be removed from a jointed PolyPlumb fitting by dismantling.
If the same fitting is then re-jointed without the use of the component pack there is real risk that the outer edge of the grab ring will have become damaged and this will reduce the pull-out performance of the joint when subjected to pressure.
The joint will almost certainly fail prematurely and potentially cause serious injury.
If it is necessary to remove a joint pipe from a fitting, the cap-nut should be unscrewed and the pipe with all the socket components present on the pipe end should be pulled out of the socket of the
fitting. The pipe end complete with all the socket components should be cut off and discarded.
A complete component pack of socket spares should be fitted to the socket and the pipe rejointed.

Correct useage of Polyplumb Reduced Component Fittings
Changes have been made to 15mm PolyPlumb couplers, elbows and tees and 22mm PolyPlumb elbows, tees and couplers (or connectors), which need to be considered when using PolyPlumb
spares kits with these fittings, as follows:
Original PolyPlumb fittings
If the bottom white washer is present in the fitting below the grab-ring, then the spares kit can be used as supplied without making any changes.
New PolyPlumb fittings
If there is no bottom white washer present below the grab-ring with one of the five listed fittings then this is one of the fittings which has been modified.
Before the spares kit is used, the carrier moulding should be carefully removed from the cap-nut and the bottom white washer should be removed and discarded without changing the order of any of the other components. After this has been done, the spares kit should be offered up to the socket of the fitting, inserting the components into the socket in the order they are within the kit and then screwing down the cap-nut onto the outside of the socket.
