Pipe typeand size
Split oliveFig. 2Making a JointThe pipe should be cut using the appropriate plastic pipe cutter recommended by the pipe manufacturer.The cut must be perpendicular to the axis of the pipe.A hacksaw, wheeled tube cutter or knife should NOT be used to cut the pipe as these may leave a roughened or out of square end.The end of the pipe should be smooth, debris and burr free.Inspect the external surface area of the pipe which is cuts or abrasions as these may prevent the internal ‘O’ ring (item 5, Fig. 1) from sealing and cause a leak.The pipe support (sometimes called the pipe insert or fully in. The length of the inserted pipe support must be at least 20mm (as per the insertion depth mark) in length for the monoblocco system to work correctly see Fig.3.It is recommended that the pipe insertion depth is the pipe and pipe support are fully located in the adaptor (2) before tightening the nut.
