The ‘Basics of Plastic Plumbing’ online course provides a comprehensive introduction to the core plumbing and heating pipe and fittings ranges from Polypipe Building Products.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the PolyPlumb® Enhanced system, the robust and reliable grey push-fit solution trusted by industry professionals for over 25 years. We’ll explore its one-step push-fit jointing process and the high-performance stainless steel grab ring and new In-Cert® Pipe Stiffener that ensure superb joint integrity and confidence in every connection.

The course also dives into PolyMax, Polypipe’s innovative white plastic plumbing system. Designed for versatility and a modern aesthetic, PolyMax fittings are slim, sleek, and attractive, making them the perfect choice for surface-mounted installations. You’ll learn how this system is a tool-demountable solution, allowing for easy removal and re-use of fittings with a simple release tool, making it ideal for renovation and refit projects.

Both PolyPlumb and PolyMax systems work seamlessly with Polypipe’s flexible grey and white polybutylene pipes.

Beyond product features, you will learn the fundamental basics of working with plastic pipe and fittings, and be tested on the important do’s and don’ts of installing a system. This course will give you the foundational knowledge you need to ensure you are installing products correctly and confidently, regardless of the project.
