Push fit plumbing connections
9 Answers
I'm removing an old shower that no longer works (power shower) and having trouble removing the pipework from the inlet to the old shower.
They have push fit connections, I've had a go at trying to remove them but dont want to pull too hard just in case it damages the pipework.
Is there some sort of tool required?

That's Polyplumb/Polypipe, but Hepworth Hep2O is grey as well.
Unscrew the collar and pull back out of the way.
Twist the grab ring of with a pair of pliers (spikey metal ring)
Use a new grab ring or a new fitting to replace.

Ok. I'll keep an eye open for the photo.
It may be that the shower has its own "female" fitting built-in. i.e. you simply push your pipe into it.
Whichever it is, if there's no un-screwable collar, then you may have to hold the collar firmly and push it away from you (towards the shower unit), then pull the pipe out.

its a diagram that shows how to exchange a supajet 100 for a 108. Both are obsolete now. I have the old 108 and the plumbing is the same.
It does say 'push down on grey collars' so may give that a go.
