How Super Speedfit Works 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. Materials of construction Super Speedfit fittings are made up of three components: Bodies are produced in an acetal copolymer or polypropylene. ‘O’ rings are Nitrile rubber or EPDM. Collets are produced in acetal copolymer or polypropylene with stainless steel teeth. Grips before it seals ‘O’ ring provides a leakproof seal The Collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth which hold...
