To stay in control of consistently high levels of demand for their services, plumbers must find ways to maximise their time while maintaining quality. Here, Lee Halstead, Technical Sales Engineer at RWC, looks at the systems and solutions making this possible.

Alongside electricians and builders, plumbers are one of the busiest trades in the UK. Whether it’s responding to callouts and keeping plumbing and heating systems running smoothly or installing new kit on renovation and new build projects, reliable plumbers are always in high demand.

While demand is high, the challenge for installers lies in managing it effectively. To do that, it’s important to maximise efficiency on every job – something that makes the choice of systems and solutions integral. Of course, these selections can also support installers to consistently deliver on quality, meeting customer expectations while staying in control of swelling demand.

By embracing systems that prioritise efficiency, installers can maximise the potential of every job.

Work smarter with push-fit technology
A proven way to complete jobs in less time is the use solutions that require less tools – an area where plastic push-fit technology delivers proven results. As well as accelerating the completion of tasks, this approach also enhances productivity by minimising downtime and enabling installers to create a streamlined workflow.

With push-fit solutions, like the extensive range of JG Speedfit, installation times can be cut by up to 40% in comparison to more traditional methods. JG Speedfit's pioneering plastic push-fit fittings offer a secure, leak-proof connection that is achieved by using only your hands and a sense of touch, simplifying the installation process, and eliminating the need for specialised tools or hot works during installation.

By reducing the complexity of pipework and creating a central distribution point for hot or cold water supplies, push-fit plumbing manifolds from JG Speedfit are a proven way to maximise installation efficiency. Of course, they have their other benefits too – such as reducing the potential for leaks as fewer connections are required overall.

Alongside manifold selection, pipes themselves can save installers considerable time on the job and even contribute to greater system efficiency and performance.

Opting for plastic pipes can bring a multitude of advantages over copper alternatives, presenting installers with increased flexibility and the ability to create durable systems. Paired with plastic push-fit fittings, plastic pipes can save installers lots of time due to its lightweight and flexible features.

JG Layflat pipe, a polybutylene barrier pipe designed for hot, cold, and central heating applications, stands out for its versatility. Delivered in a coil, this pipe facilitates the seamless running of long lengths wherever needed on a project, effortlessly navigating corners with ease. Beyond saving installers time, this characteristic substantially diminishes the need for numerous connections within a system.

Aside from speeding up installations, plastic push-fit solutions will also make future maintenance much easier for installers. With no requirement for tools or flames at the point of installation, pipes and fittings from JG Speedfit provide fast, secure and watertight connections that installers can just as easily detach by hand when maintenance is needed.

Unlock efficiency and quality one push at a time
With the use of efficient solutions, professional installers can maximise the potential of every job, delivering uncompromising quality while making the most of their time. In practice, that combination makes for more happy customers every week, with the potential to get more jobs completed in the same time.
