ISSUE 001 | OCTOBER 2013
Whilst I struggle to comprehend
that we are already trading
towards the final quarter of 2013
and that my thoughts are slowly
turning to the new business year
ahead, I start to reflect on what
has been another very exciting
year for the JG Speedfit team so far.
Despite the challenging market conditions we have
continued to grow our business and market share,
which is a real credit not only to our entire team,
but also to our extremely loyal customers who
have continued to put their faith in our products
and services.
Following huge levels of customer demand over
many years, 2012 was the launch year of our
JG Layflat ® Pipe range. During 2013 we have
experienced an incredible level of demand, which
at times has been challenging - par ticularly from a
production perspective.
Being a private, family owned company we don’t
have to answer to shareholders, corporate
management or wade through the layers of
hierarchical pyramids. As a result, when the decision
was made to launch the product we were able
to mobilise the capital investment and resource
to give our loyal and potential new customers a
product they had requested for a number of years.
JG Layflat® pipe has been an incredible catalyst for
exponential growth this year impacting on pipe,
fittings and Underfloor Heating sales.
Our outlook for the rest of 2013 remains positive and
we are well placed to continue driving sales across our
pipe, fittings and Underfloor Heating business whilst
continuing to identify new product opportunities and
improving our overall service.
It is my hope that you will enjoy reading the first
of many issues of ‘The Push-fit People’ and we look
forward to keeping you connected with all things JG
Speedfit during future editions.

PUSH-FIT COVER STORY
THE
PUSH-FIT PEOPLE
Layflat Pipe
FLAT OUT
We are proud of a recent addition to our product
range - JG Layflat® pipe, as it truly represents the
company’s objective to provide cutting-edge
plumbing and heating solutions that allow for
swift, smooth and easy installations.
The JG Layflat® pipe simply lays flat, stays flat
and is ultra flexible, allowing greater control
and ease of movement making it possible for
a single person to meander and route the pipe
as they wish.
Transporting the JG Layflat pipe is hassle-free in
comparison to copper equivalents, requiring no
‘clumsy’ installation tool boxes, being very light to
carry and compact enough to be loaded into a
small space whilst moving from the shop to the
construction site. Regardless of whether you are
using a 25m or a 150m JG Layflat® coil, the pipe
is consistently easy to remove from the packaging.
®
“simply lays flat,
stays flat and is
ultra flexible”
LAYS FLAT - STAYS FLAT - ULTRA FLEXIBLE
needed to pump fluids throughout the circuit
would not be expected to increase over time due
to corrosion clogs.
“ease of use, speed
of installation,
lifelong reliability”
The new JG Layflat® polybutylene pipe is the
perfect component for most sustainable
and energy efficient domestic heating
technologies, while the ease of use,
speed of installation and lifelong
reliability of the product make it
ideal for any plumbing project
where precision and impeccable
quality are paramount.
For more information on JG Layflat®,
visit the JG Speedfit website at
www.speedfit.co.uk where video
installation guides are also available.
Once installed, JG Layflat® pipe proves to save
energy due to the specific thermal conductivity
properties of plastic, allowing minimal heat loss,
which makes it the perfect choice for any UFH
system, especially when powered by condensing
boilers, ground-source and air-source heat pumps.
Thanks to the inbuilt barrier layer, which
prevents the ingress of air, as well as the smooth
inner surface of JG Layflat® pipe, a permanent
unrestricted flow through the system can be
assured as no limescale or corrosion would build
up within the lifetime of the product. That on its
own offers significant efficiency as the power

PUSH-FIT CASE STUDY
THE
PUSH-FIT PEOPLE
JG UFH IS IN THE HAUS
The Advantages of the JG Speedfit UFH System
The technology behind the JG Speedfit UFH model
is similar to the philosophy behind the Hanse Haus
concept - innovation towards energy preservation and
efficiency, comfort, aesthetics and value for money.
EQUIPPED WITH JG
SPEEDFIT UNDERFLOOR
HEATING, THE NEW
ODDINGTON HANSE
HAUS HOLDS TRULY
OUTSTANDING ENERGYSAVING PROPERTIES.
The main source of heat for the Oddington Hanse
Haus is a ground-based heat pump, which as a concept
is gradually proving to be the renewable technology of
the future. The system is using a vapour compression
cycle, where pumps take low-grade warmth and
concentrates it to a higher temperature that is then
used to heat up the building.
The Oddington Project
Designed by Hanse Haus Ltd, the new-build Oddington
dwelling is defined by its high sustainability credentials
and great aesthetic value.
Due to the low temperature flow at which the heat
pump operates, UFH is the ideal technology for
distributing warmth throughout the house.
The house is a four-bedroom, two-storey building with
total quadrature of 235.94m2. Given the size of the
property, choosing the right heating system is of crucial
importance for ensuring efficiency.

ISSUE 001 | OCTOBER 2013
JG Speedfit’s Involvement
Being the sole plumbing and heating contractor of
Hanse Haus for the UK, Synergy PHR has appointed
JG Speedfit as the exclusive supplier of the Underfloor
Heating system installed.
Darren Farley, director of Synergy PHR commented “Since partnering with Hanse Haus in May 2012 Synergy
have carried out installations in seven properties in
the UK, all with full ground and first floor UFH by JG
Speedfit. We have used both staple and Overfit systems
that proved to be very easy to install, saving time and
effort. The cooperation with the push-fit people was
very satisfying from the initial contact with their sales
representative, through to CAD specification, delivery
and installation. On completion, the JG Speedfit
engineers and technical support were always there to
help with system setup, testing and control.”
The benefits of our UFH applications are numerous:
– Operating at much lower temperatures compared
to conventional radiator circuits, the UFH system
helps reduce energy consumption, resulting in lower
heating costs.
– Installation is simple and requires no clumsy tools.
– Even distribution of temperature is ensured as the
whole floor acts as a radiant heat source.
– The circuit is unobtrusive and discreet, which gives
more freedom to interior design, allowing for additional
spaces to be decorated accordingly.
– The system makes use of multi-zoning, which
means that each room benefits from individual time
and temperature control. That flexibility alone brings
significant value for money as no ‘paid-for’ energy goes
to waste.
– The compatibility of the JG Speedfit UFH model
with other renewable heating technologies such as
condensing boilers, solar power and heat pumps makes
it the sustainable heating solution of the future.

JG Speedfit offered Synergy PHR comprehensive aftersales support, assisting throughout all project stages
with a particular focus on pipe layout design and
installation advice.

PUSH-FIT EXPERT
THE
PUSH-FIT PEOPLE
ASK DAVE
DAVE, OF JG SPEEDFIT SUPPORT, ANSWERS SOME OF
THE TOP PLUMBING AND HEATING QUESTIONS HE HAS
RECEIVED ON THE SPEEDFIT TECHNICAL HELPLINE.
Q) DO I NEED TO USE AN INSERT EVERY
TIME I CONNECT YOUR SPEEDFIT PIPE TO A
FITTING AND WHY ARE THERE TWO TYPES
OF INSERT?
Q) WHAT ARE THE MAXIMUM AND
MINIMUM TEMPERATURES THAT
SPEEDFIT PIPE AND FITTINGS WILL
WORK AT?
A) Always use an insert when installing Speedfit pipe as it
gives the connection extra rigidity and support within the
insertion length. We have two types of insert - ‘Superseal
STS’ for plastic to plastic and our ‘Standard TSM’ inserts
that are mainly used for plastic pipe connections to
compression fittings. “Superseal STS” inserts have an
extra ‘O’-ring on the head of the insert and also one
on the body of the insert which goes inside the pipe to provide an even greater sealing protection. The ‘TSM
Standard’ insert has a shallow head that allows more of
the pipe length into the fitting. This means that when
joining with a compression fitting or another make of
push-fit connector there is sufficient pipe past the olive
or O-ring that ensures a strong connection.
Q) IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT SPEEDFIT
PIPE WITH OTHER MAKES OF PUSH-FIT
PLUMBING?
A) Fittings marked in the installation guide
as suitable for central heating are approved
to 12 Bar at 20°C, 6 Bar at 65°C and 3
Bar at 105°C, but can withstand up to 114°C
intermittently for ver y short periods if there is
a boiler or heater malfunction. The minimum
temperature is 0°C, provided the water
being carried does not freeze. If there is
any danger of the pipe freezing it must
be insulated to regulation standards.
A) Yes. Any plastic push-fit plumbing range that
adheres to BS7291 is compatible with JG Speedfit. It
is recommended that you should use the same make
of pipe insert as the pipe you are installing - this
is because pipe internal diameters
may be different. For best
quality and highest reliability
of the connection we advise
using Speedfit pipes and
Speedfit fittings together.
Q) CAN I CONNECT SPEEDFIT
PIPE AND FITTINGS DIRECTLY
TO A CENTRAL HEATING
BOILER?
A) No, although most modern
boilers have a high
limit
thermostat,
residual heat can be conducted from
the heat exchanger. Therefore, we
recommend a minimum of one metre
from the boiler casing should be run
in copper pipe, unless otherwise stated
in the boiler manufacturer’s installation
literature. This includes all connections to
the boiler.
Q) DO I NEED TO INSULATE SPEEDFIT
PLUMBING?
A) The insulation requirements for Speedfit pipe and
fittings are the same as those for copper and should
comply with BS6700 and BS5422. If there is a danger
that pipes and fittings might freeze, that there may be
excessive heat loss or if the installation is outside of the
thermal envelope of the building it must be insulated.
Q) CAN I CONNECT A STEM ELBOW
OR REDUCER DIRECTLY INTO A
COMPRESSION FITTING AND DOES IT
NEED AN INSERT?
A) Yes it is possible to connect a stem elbow or
stem reducer into a compression fitting. You will
need to use a copper olive in the compression
fitting instead of a brass one as the compression
nut needs to be tightened more firmly. No need
to fit an insert into the stem fitting as stems
are manufactured compatible with push-fit and
compression fittings. To make a permanent water
tight connection push the stem hard into the tube stop
of the compression fitting, then tighten the compression
nut until the copper olive is gripping the stem tight enough
to prevent you from twisting it in the fitting and finally
tighten the compression nut once more with a full turn.
Remember - many but not all compression fittings
are suitable for use with plastic fittings and pipe.
Compression fittings with short tube stop depth or
brass olives should not be used with plastic fittings
or pipe.

WATER
FOR ALL
HOSPITAL
IN ZAMBIA
Designed to offer potable water
to people in disadvantaged third
world areas, the new ‘village pump’
is a manually operated filtration
technology with the capacity to
produce up to 500 litres of crystal
clear water per hour.
Our goal is to reach out and
touch people’s lives despite any
borders and with that in mind we
are happy to announce the recent
opening of a new operating
theatre block at the mission
hospital in Kalene, Zambia.
Developed by our John Guest
Engineering department and Dutch
inventor Rob van Osdorp, the
new water purification concept
transforms contaminated water,
filtering out viruses and bacteria,
which could help prevent the
spread of cholera, hepatitis and
other endemic diseases in high-risk
areas such as Africa.
The new addition to the hospital
was built with donations by John
Guest and other third parties, as
the Zambian Government has no
financial commitment to the project.
The final pump has now
been
launched
and
aimed
at
environmentally
engaged
companies to donate to deprived
villages around the world with no
access to drinkable water.
Thanks to the extended capacity of
the new facility more patients could
receive life saving treatment quicker.
Also the new hospital addition
allows for major operation and
caesarean section procedures to
be performed at the same time in a
highly sterile and safe environment.
For more information on the
Kalene Mission Hospital, please visit

With
our
extensive
international reach we are
happy to be involved with
social causes outside of the
UK such as the construction
of a new hospital in Kalene,
Zambia and the development
of a new water purification
technology intended for areas
deprived of potable water.

Since this is the first issue of The Push-fit People it
is important to provide some insight into what the
manufacturing of our world-class products entails.
“As we have adopted a very strategic approach of
undertaking every step of the supply chain ourselves,
we can exercise total control over our planning and
testing production stages. That allows us to establish an
extremely low defect ratio, which means that only a
very tiny fraction of the millions of fittings manufactured
do not pass our quality tests before we send out to
the marketplace. For the purpose of reducing the
reoccurrence of faults, procedures are instigated to
control non-conforming products with an emphasis on
identifying what caused the problem and implementing
a corrective action.”
