The concept of Push in Fittings has been around for quite some time but it has become significantly more popular in these times. The Push in Fittings has brought the fastest growing technology change in the water industry though in the beginning there were many obstacles in its way. This is because people had the misconception that something so simple could not work out reliably and this is the reason that they never let go of the old traditional methods used in plumbing to try something new.

But as leading technologies start changing the plumbing works more and more installers started using the labor saving and reliable benefits of Push in Fittings. And so with the rapid acceptance of the Push in Fittings it has been established as the quality standard connection for the water industry.

The most common application of the Push in Fittings is that it is used for general tubing and also for connections in water purification systems. They are also in water valves, pumps, tanks and faucets to ease the installation process and also to increase the system reliability. Many consumers also install it in water fountains, juicers, water dispensers and even in ice coolers.

The construction of the Push in Fittings require a very complex engineering design and even need to made with precise  and high quality manufacture as that they can be up to quality standard.  But it is important to understand that the Push in Fittings are usually made of three basic components:

• Fitting Body.
• Flexible Collets.
• O-Ring.
• The body of the Push in Fittings can be made from metals like brass and steel or even plastic. The body is intricately designed in such away that its internal geometry houses the collets, tubing and also assembles the O- Ring easily. The fitting bodies are designed in many configurations such as tees, elbows and threaded connectors. While the collets are usually made from plastic and stainless steel griping teeth moulded into flexible ways that allows easy insertion and release of the tubing. But the O- Ring is made from food grade rubber compound and is sifted inside the fitting body and acts as a seal on the outside diameter of the tube.

The installation of the Push in Fittings is also very important as proper installation is critical to create quality performance and reliability. Care should be taken with the fitting to ensure that they are generally accepted and good accepted practices are employed. You should remember the key factors of proper installation to ensure good quality installation. You can find the Push in Fittings in different size and shapes according to where you need to install them.

You can save your energy by using Push in Fittings as you don’t need any glue or specialized tools to install them. And the best thing is that they are not permanently fitted and can easily be repositioned with the minimum efforts. The Push in Fittings eliminate the  difficulties associated with the old conventional methods as the components of the  Push in Fittings are less contained, the installation and insertion is quiet simple and you can do the thread tightening by hand. You don’t even require any pipe or seal to secure the installation.
