- How to use push fit plastic plumbing - In this video I show how to use push fit plastic pipe using different connectors. I show how to use inserts, how to remove inserts from connectors/joints, how to remove joints from pipe, how to cut plastic pipe and how to use plastic push fit connectors/joints with copper. In this demonstration I use JG Speedfit (John Guest) pipe and connectors.

Pouse is the BOMB. I set up a play list of 5 push fit videos. Some as long as 20mins. But oh no. He explains it all in 3. Concise. Clear. Informative. Cheers mate.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you found it useful 👍
Good, concise, informative video, with no unnecessary talking. Thank you!!
Water company replaced water meter and pipe work out side my house and I came home yesterday from work to a soaking wet hall and cloakroom. Called water company last night and they said it wasn’t their problem and was told to turn stopcock off, which clearly left me with no water last night.
Just looked at your video and have pulled all my push fit fittings apart and put them back together and I think 🤞🏻 the leak has stopped! So thanks for the video
Excellent. A natural performer and all to the point in 3 minutes !
Hi Jon, not so sure about natural performer but I try my best to make a video as to the point as possible whilst including all the necessary information. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Yep, excellent video. No crap, no waffle, just what we need to know. Well done sir.
Just want to say ... THANKS :) I'm currently rebuilding the whole of my bathroom myself (replumbing the central heating, water pipes, drain / installing new insulated plasterboards, new toilet... basically EVERYTHING). Found your videos such a help... mainly for easing my nerves! Seeing how easy somethings are, you've helped me massively :)
Good work, hope the projects are going well. 👍
Just lifted the floor to find my bathroom riddled with push fit and plastic (I only really know copper and compression fit) . This video is full of the most useful information thanks!
Glad to help.
This is what TH-cam is really for. Stuff like this. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Simple, clarity and straight forward. Perfect demo.
Thanks for the feedback.
Fantastic video mate. All I needed to know, no waffling or corny background music. Well done, you should do more videos.
Hi Hiran, glad you enjoyed the video, really appreciate the feedback. I have got plenty more videos on my channel so please take a look and subscribe. I try to upload once a week but I'm struggling to get so many done at the moment but I don't intend to stop! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful and straight to the point-thanks 👍
Glad to help.
Thanks for the video, very helpful and straightforward. I wish I'd have watched it a few days ago before I realised the importance of pipe inserts 😂
I'd say they're fairly important! 😂
Thank you. Fitting a bathroom now using this exact make. This video along with all your others really helps.
Glad to have helped.
Brilliant - straight to the point with what I needed to know! Great videos, thanks for posting.
No problem.
I literally didn’t know about the insert 🤨 had a lead under the sink for a long time and now I know ….. you legend
Thank you muchly, you've saved me loads of stressful days. I think i can do my job in an hour now ❤️❤️❤️
No problem.
Thank you sir. I had a problem with one pipe. It was the same size as the others but whatever fitting I used it would just slip off. So I used a bit of tape on the end to make it a bit fatter. Worked like a charm.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, I was fairly sure how this went together but this was great to see it in action before I get stuck in
I'm okay DIY though not a real plumber, and your clear video explained exactly what I need to do. Thankyou!
Excellent...best of luck with it!
Thanks for this. you've answered all of the questions I had.
Glad to have helped.
Other videos had about 10 mins of waffle, straight to the point. Brilliant video
Glad you enjoyed it. I try my best to keep to the point although not sure I always succeed! Thanks for watching.
Good job I didn't know about those inserts 😮
Great video, clearly demonstrated - thank you!
Brst thing since sliced bread 🍞.
I confident about doing my own plumbing now .
Thank you my wife wants me to fit a new kitchen in. So I have learnt something today.
No problem, best of luck it all! Thanks for watching!
Brilliant vid, plumbing made ldiot friendly
Many thanks for the time doing this vid 👍🤗👏
thanks a lot man, i used this technique in fixing my RO home machine
Glad the vid helped. Thanks for watching!
Incredibly easy when you know how. Thank you.
Don't use pliers on the inserts. Just keep unscrewing the locking collar and the fitting will come apart. Remove the insert and reassemble the fitting. Easy peasy.
so the push inserts reduces the diameter of the pipe great idea
Only the same as any brass compression fitting. They get narrow also. Thanks for watching.
Best speedfit tutorial I've seen cheers!
Many thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
thanks. all your videos are really, really good! they've helped me a lot.
Glad to have helped!
thanks for the vid, i can tackle this job myself now!
Good luck and don't forget the inserts!
Excellent..straight to the point..job done

Exceptional clarity. Lovely accent. Would look forward to dog's opinion.
Thanks very much for the feedback. The dog is just too lazy to do a video but he said mine was 'ok'. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much. Got a small job to do on a caravan.
No problem, good luck with it!

No problem, glad to help 👍
Nice one, will certainly help.
Thanks, answered many things I was unsure of.
Glad it helped!
Great video as usual mate, thanks cos I'm doing my version of a bathroom....same stuff you've done for yours so very, very helpful. Cheers Rob
No problem, glad the vids are helping you out.
I know a lot of soldering legends despise pushfit full stop, but cmon, they're making it so easy for us level 3 plumbers we are doing bathrooms up like Tommy Walsh. Back in the day you actually have some form of intelligence I'm sure
It is very easy and I've never had any problems with it, although I think there'll always be a place for both plastic and copper used together. As a DIYer push fit is brilliant. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Thanks man, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Glad to have helped. Thanks for watching!

Yes, it's good stuff in the right places. There's still a place for copper though.
Really helpful,thank you !
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot!! It really helped me :)
Thanks for watching Davide. Good luck!
Thanks for watching Davide. Good luck!
thanks for this video mate.. made realise i can do tge plumbibg myself 👏👏👏👏👏👌
Excellent , thank you.
Awesome video mate
Thanks for the video. I've noticed it is really hard to get a straight cut from the coil pipe - so when you add the insert there is a slight gap created - you can see you've also got a gap ( 0:36 on your video). Is this not a problem?.. or does anyone have a good technique for cutting coil pipe straight?
That is what the insert is for. The primary seal is inside the fitting while the insert provides a secondary seal to account for uneven pipe ends.
A small gap isn't a problem but keep it as small as possible.
strategicconsensus thank you!
POUSE around the HOUSE thanks!
Thank you straight to the point
No problem.
Great tutorial, can these fittings be used on the plastic inlet on electric shower?
Superb mate, made it sound so easy... I'll get my dog to do it though.. 😁
How did the dog get on?
awesome so helpful thanks a lot
No problem Hamada, thanks for watching!
Hi Pouse. Do you know if the pipe inserts can be used with any plastic pipe or JG Speedfit pipe only? Thanks
Sir can use Teflon tape between copper/plastic connection?
I want extend connection between radiators mounting plastic tees connection can I do that? Will be copper/copper/speed fit. is that ok?
Nice one Pouse!!! And you don't look like a mouse!!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks Mate! really helpful
No problem.
Now I'm excited.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks. This helped me immensely whilst replacing my filler valve.
Glad to have helped.
Hi great vid
Can you use the plastic pipe to install a shower mixer?If so do you use the plastic inserts directly into the shower mixer or do you use a copper olive?
Cheers
Usually shower mixers come supplied with a threaded attachment that the shower screws onto or alternative products are available to do the same job like bar valve wall mounts or bar valve fixing plates which on joining to the water pipe use an olive as you say (but not direct into the bar valve itself). You can't use inserts into the shower, they are for the plastic pipe only and just stop the pipe getting squashed, the joints create the seal. Best way is to use an olive on short length of copper pipe to connect to the bar valve connection (which ever product you use) then use a straight coupler plastic push fit onto the copper and you can use plastic from there is you want. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Brilliant, Thank you, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching.
Cheers for the video. Is it ok to use plastic pipe and joints behind plasterboard?
Yes, just remember where they are!
Fantastic video thanks!
No problem.
Very helpful - Thanks.
excellent video☺
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Great, thanks for the info.
Hi Oliver, no problem, glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Thankyou so easy, best video
Can one run a rad from another rad is there a lot more to it love the vids it's a mobile home oil heated cheers tommy.
In theory yes but you would need the right parts to connect them together. Why not just get a larger radiator? Thanks for watching!
Nice one mate ! Thanks
No problem 👍
Nice to the point!
Thanks for the feedback.
push the fitting on!
thank you 👍👍
Welcome 👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi will an angle grinder fitted with a metal cutting disc go through the pvc pipes and give a clean cut?
Easy
Just what I wanted to know 😁
Glad to have helped.
I have some Hep2o pipe. As you can fit copper pipe to Hep2o fittings can hep2o pipe accept speed fit fittings?
I wouldn't have thought so. They are all designed to work with their own parts. Thanks for watching.
Great - I know what I'm doing now :-)
Thanks 👍
No problem.
Perfect 👌🏻👌🏻
Glad it helped
Have the same pipe cutter from Wickes. Don't get me wrong its good... but very very sharp... like cutthroat sharp... I discovered this when attempting to remove some redudant plastic pipe fittings through a hole but couldn't see just feel for the pipes.... ouch.
That's why you'll often see me wearing gloves. Always cutting my hands! Thanks for watching!
POUSE around the HOUSE I always have gloves around and I was recently removing some old tiles in the bathroom and I didn't realise the shards were like glass. As I was sweeping up I noticed little drops of blood around the place... and then I looked at my hands... from that point on I shouted at myself "GLOVES" when handling tiles. I would have worn gloves using the pipe cutter but it was a tight squeeze and needed to be sure I was cutting the right pipes. Love the channel.
i have a push-fit on both sides of the pipe, do I need to put an insert on both sides ?
You need an insert for end end cut piece of pipe that fits inside a joint. So sounds like yes you do. Hope that helps.
Do you have to use the insert when using a stop end?
Use a insert on all plastic fittings but not needed on copper pipe
martin barry thanks mate,all done now 👍
Sorry, late to the party on this message! Looks like Barry sorted you out 👍
Thanks and thanks
No problem and no problem! Thanks for watching!
Fab man 5 star vid
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Thank so informative 👍👍👍
Glad to have helped.
Thanks. Just fitted my shower. Im an electrician but dont have a clue about plumbing.
I have to install radiator in my converted loft, can I use this kind of connection and plastic pipe connected to the system which is obviously cooper? Thanx for answer.
While the plastic connectors can withstand hot water, I would still definitely use copper as it will never degrade with temperature whereas plastic will.
What type of plastic pipe is that? Was that PEX?
Hi, Thanks for the video.
Is it possible to bend the pipes around corner?
You can put a gentle bend in them but they will kink if it's too sharp. If you buy the large rolls, the pipe is already in a curve so it's easier to do it. Best just to use a suitable joint if the bend is too sharp though. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for your kind advice. I used the barrier pipe to connect my water machine to the mains.
