Description
This release aid is designed to assist with the safe and controlled disconnection of pipework from John Guest push-fit fittings. It is particularly useful where system pressure or prolonged installation has increased the grip of the collet, making manual removal difficult.
The tool fits over the collet of the fitting, allowing firm and even pressure to be applied so the pipe can be released without damage to the pipe or fitting. This helps prevent scoring, distortion or unnecessary strain during maintenance or system modifications.
Compact and easy to use, the release aid is an essential accessory for installers working with John Guest air ring main systems, ensuring pipework can be disconnected quickly, safely and efficiently when required.
