How do I disconnect the pipe from BOSHART BPF and SSPF Push-Fit fittings?

A disconnect clip or disconnect tongs is required to push the collet inwards to disengage the gripper rings, with the gripper ring disengaged the pipe can be pulled out without damaging the pipe.

To disconnect a push-fit fitting, you will need a disconnect tool to apply pressure to the release collar. BOSHART's PF-D05, the Disconnect Clip, spreads the gripper ring teeth allowing the grip to release on the pipe, enabling you to remove the pipe from the fitting.

Step 1 - First, snap the Disconnect Clip around the pipe with the recessed face against the release collar.

Step 2 - Next, you want to apply pressure onto the Disconnect Clip, carefully pushing the clip against the release collar. Then, gently pull the pipe out of the fitting, slightly twisting.

Step 3 - Be sure to check the fitting and tube end for any damage. You need to ensure that the fitting and pipe are completely free of any damage. If you find damage, you will need to cut off the damaged section or use a new section of piping for re-assembly.
