John Guest has a long established reputation as a world leading manufacturer of push-in fittings. This reputation is built on producing consistently high quality products with an ongoing commitment to both value engineering and product development. John Guest has been an ISO 9001 registered manufacturer since 1989.

Super Speedfit push-in fittings have been designed for a wide range of industrial applications. They provide a fast and secure way of connecting tubes and offer considerable advantages over conventional fittings.

Complex tubing systems can be assembled more rapidly than with traditional methods and because Super Speedfit fittings are easy to disconnect, fault finding and maintenance become a much easier operation.

These products are produced in FDA approved materials, making them especially suitable for food quality applications.

How to make a connection

To make a connection, the tube is simply pushed in by hand; the unique patented John Guest collet locking system then holds the tube firmly in place without deforming it or restricting flow.

Cut the tube square. It is essential that the outside diameter be free of score marks and that burrs and sharp edges be removed before inserting into fitting. For soft or thin walled plastic tubing we recommend the use of a tube insert.

Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is pushed in to the tube stop.

Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop. The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold the tube firmly in position while the O-ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.

Pull on the tube to check it is secure. It is good practice to test the system prior to leaving site and/or before use.
 
How to disconnect

Push in collet and remove tube

To disconnect, ensure the system is depressurized before removing fitting. Push in collet squarely against face of fitting. With the collet held in this position, the tube can be removed. The fitting can then be re-used.
