Am using 22mm barrier pipe to remove shower waste via an AKW pump. I haven't used pipe inserts on the speedfit connectors as per the AKW manual. It says NEVER fit JG pipe inserts but ALWAYS fit JG locking collars. I've got the locking collars on.
Am guessing the reason for not using the inserts is to prevent soap, tresses and the like ragging up on them. Also it should never dead head and see too much pressure as it wastes directly into the soil pipe.
Can anyone put my mind at ease that the inserts aren't required? The joints are going to be very inaccessible very soon.
If inserts are in there and they catch debris then a blockage is possible which would mean some major work to unblock. If they do weep a little it would be no worse than condensation in the cavity given the frequency of showering. Very little pressure and the use of locking collars should ensure the joints don't come apart. Is this sound reasoning?
Thanks.
