Copper push-fit coupling PEGLER YORKSHIRE 18 mm 45118

The PEGLER YORKSHIRE Copper push-fit coupling 18 mm 45118 is a mechanical connector engineered for quick, tool-free joining of 18 mm copper plumbing pipe. It is intended for straight pipe connections and repair work in domestic and light commercial potable water and heating systems. The coupling forms a leak-resistant joint by retaining and sealing the copper tube without soldering, compression fittings, or specialized installation tools.

Advantages

The coupling offers rapid installation and reduces labour time by eliminating the need for heat or threaded fittings. Its push-fit design provides consistent sealing on standard 18 mm copper pipe and permits immediate pressure testing after fitting. The compact brass body and internal sealing components are designed to withstand typical potable water and central heating conditions while allowing straightforward replacement or repositioning if required.

Suitable for

• Straight joins of 18 mm copper pipe in potable water systems
• Repairing damaged sections of domestic copper plumbing
• Connecting runs in central heating circuits where 18 mm copper is used
• Temporary or permanent mechanical joints in light commercial installations

Key specifications

• Compatible pipe material: copper
• Nominal pipe size: 18 mm
• Connection type: push-fit (push) mechanical coupling
• Application: potable water and heating systems
• Installation: tool-free, no soldering or compression required

How to use

Ensure pipe ends are clean, free of burrs, and cut squarely. Deburr and remove any sharp edges before insertion. Mark the insertion depth on the pipe, push the copper tube fully into the coupling until it reaches the internal stop, and verify the joint by a light tug to confirm engagement. After assembly, perform pressure testing according to local plumbing codes and system requirements. For removal or repositioning, follow manufacturer guidance on disassembly tools or methods if available for this coupling design.

Usage recommendations

Use only on standard 18 mm copper pipe and within the pressure and temperature limits of the installation. Avoid using the coupling on non-compatible pipe materials or corroded tubing surfaces. Follow applicable local plumbing regulations and carry out pressure tests after fitting to confirm leak-free joints.
