How 12mm push fit pipe fittings work

To make a connection, you simply push the tube in by hand. Then, the 12mm x 1/2″ BSP Female Elbow holds the tube firmly in place without deforming it or restricting flow.

So 12mm push-fit pipe fittings offer a quick, reliable, and tool-free method for connecting plastic pipes, commonly used in caravan and low-pressure plumbing systems. First, to create a secure connection, you simply push the 12mm tube into the fitting by hand. Inside, a set of stainless steel teeth grips the outer surface of the pipe, while an internal O-ring forms a watertight seal. With the this female elbow fitting, the fitting combines a push-fit connection on one end with a standard 1/2″ British Standard Pipe (BSP) female thread on the other.

This allows easy integration with threaded components like taps, valves, or adaptors. Additionally, the push-fit mechanism firmly holds the pipe in place without requiring heat, soldering, or tools. Because of this, the design keeps the pipe undeformed and preserves the full internal bore, ensuring optimal flow efficiency through the system. Finally, these fittings are reusable and demountable, making them especially practical for modular or frequently modified plumbing setups.
