The plumbing industry is evolving, and at Polypipe Building Products, we are leading that change. We have officially announced the phasing out of our PolyFit plastic plumbing range to make way for the next generation of push-fit technology: PolyPlumb® Enhanced White.
Key Transition Dates
- PolyFit Discontinuation: Effective April 1st, 2024.
- Replacement Range: PolyPlumb® Enhanced (White and Grey variants).
Why the Change? Innovation with PolyPlumb® Enhanced
PolyPlumb® Enhanced is not just a colour update; it is a total re-engineering of the push-fit joint. This range complements our PolyMax™ demountable fittings, giving installers a complete toolkit for any project.
1. In-Cert® Feedback Technology
The standout feature of the Enhanced range is the In-Cert® technology. This internal haptic feedback system ensures that the installer feels and hears a "click" when the pipe is fully inserted, significantly reducing the risk of joint failure and improving on-site speed.
2. High-Performance Aesthetics
While the classic Grey PolyPlumb remains a staple, the Enhanced White range provides a clean, modern finish for visible pipework in residential settings without sacrificing the legendary "grip and seal" strength the trade expects.
Transition Made Easy: Coding & Compatibility
We have streamlined the transition to ensure merchants and installers can find the parts they need without confusion.
How to Order
To order the white version of any fitting, simply add the 'EW' suffix to the standard grey PolyPlumb® Enhanced product code.
