GREY PVC / PLASTIC TUBING AND FITTINGS

[Stella Maris]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to get the name of the manufacturer who makes the grey tubing and fittings installed in many of our boats. I'm sure its on the forums here but cannot find it.

I have attached a pic from the hints and tips section showing one of the T fittings I need the collar and seals for. Someone told me it may be an older system from Whale, but I'm sure a lot of the newer boats have these too.

Are there any other readily available brands that would work with this tubing.

Any ideas.

I'm afraid that I don't know the specific brand, but the pipe is standard (in Europe at least) 15mm plastic domestic water pipe. You should find that any plastic push fit plumbing fitting from a diy shed will fit as a replacement. I've used BandQ own brand I think called Plumb-Sure in the past. It will probably be as cheap to buy a new t-piece as to try to find a replacement seal.

As Kev says this is now quite standard in UK and EU for 15mm domestic systems and available here in most DIY stores. There are several UK manufaturers eg: www.polypipe.com/building-products/plumbing-heating/plastic-plumbing/polyplumb  Might be worth asking to a local Caribbean domestic plumber - or you should be able to get by the internet
