To
develop
an
economical,
simple
push
fit

for
use
with
Copper,
Polybutylene
&
PVCc
pipes.
The
styling
should
be
neat

The
joint
should
be
able
to
be
removable/reusable
without

being
included
in
the
following
fitting
configurations:

Notes:
The
project
was
completed,
the
result
was
a
fully
developed
joint
that
was
ready
for
productionising into the range of fittings as detailed above.
Market
research
at
the
time
showed
that
professional
plumbers
preferred
using
Copper
pipes
&
soldered
joints
&
that
DIY
users
did
not
have
the
confidence
to
trust
plastic
components.
These
sensitivities
resulted
in
the
project
being
shelved
until
the
use
of
plastics
in
place
of
traditional
materials
was
accepted.
The
product
is
now
on the market.
