Inside the innovative technology of JG Speedfit

Happy plumber installing a JG Speedfit tee.

The plumbing and heating sector faces rising challenges—labour shortages, tight project deadlines, and stricter health & safety standards. For installers and contractors, the need for quick, reliable, and safe installation solutions has never been greater. JG Speedfit’s push-fit plumbing and heating systems offer innovative, hassle-free solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency.

Discover how JG Speedfit’s range of pipes, fittings and valves can simplify installation, save time, and improve project outcomes.

Your go-to product range: JG Speedfit

The JG Speedfit range has everything installers need for quick, secure connections—straight fittings, elbows, tees, flexible pipes, valves, and tap connectors. Perfect for hot and cold water as well as central heating systems, Speedfit push-fit fittings are compatible with both plastic and copper pipes, using our innovative Grip & Seal™ technology.

With Speedfit push-fit plumbing, no tools are needed for connections or disassembly, making it ideal for tight spaces. Compared to soldered and compression fittings, JG Speedfit solutions cut installation time by up to 40%, boosting efficiency and productivity on site without sacrificing safety.

Under the surface: How JG Speedfit works

With JG Speedfit Twist & Lock® fittings, installation is quick and hassle-free. Simply push the push-fit fitting onto the pipe and twist the plastic nut clockwise to compress the collet and O-Ring, locking the connection securely. This innovative system requires no tools or flames, saving time on checks and approvals, and eliminating hot works permits that can often delay an installation, making it there for making it both a safe and efficient installation solution. To disconnect, just twist to unlock and push the collet down to release the pipe—completely tool-free.

For extra peace of mind, we recommend using JG Speedfit Superseal Pipe Inserts when connecting Speedfit pipe to a Twist & Lock® fitting, as it further strengthens the connection by providing extra support. The dual O-Ring combined with the fitting’s main O-Ring creates our unique multi-seal that offers greater security.
